TORONTO -- John Herdman called the opportunity to coach a team reeling from a nightmare performance on the world stage "a dream come true. C.J. Mosley Ravens Jersey ." Herdman was named head coach of Canadas womens soccer team Thursday, the first step in the recovery from a disastrous effort at the Womens World Cup in Germany. With the next World Cup set for 2015 in Canada, Herdman said he couldnt wait to coach a host country. "I think for any coach this is a dream move," he said on a conference call, "and Im hoping this will be a dream come true not only for myself but for the players of the Canadian national team and for the people who are just waiting for womens football to reach its peak." Herdman, who was born in England, has previously served as head coach of New Zealands womens team and national director of football development. The Ferns are currently ranked 24th in the world. He replaces Carolina Morace, who resigned after Canadas suffered three losses that resulted in a first-round exit at the World Cup. Canada was ranked sixth in the world and had sky-high expectations when they began play on June 26th, but managed just one goal during the tournament and has since dropped to eighth in the world rankings. Morace turned in her resignation in July during an internal review. Under the 47-year-old Italians guidance the women had a 25-11-5 record. Herdman called his predecessors vision a "modern approach" and added he would build on what Morace did with the team. "The players have bought into a certain style and approach," said Herdman. "We want to build on that and I guess we want to make sure that by 2015 we really can capture the imagination of the home fans here in Canada. "We want a team they can be proud of, we want a team they can entertain them as well as a team thats got that physical presence and spirit that people can really engage with." Herdman arrived in New Zealand in 2003 and took on the role as coach development manager for New Zealand Football. He led the women to the 2006 U-20 World Cup before being named head coach of the senior team in 2007. Under Herdman the Ferns have appeared in the last two Womens World Cups. At this summers competition in Germany, New Zealand had two losses and a tie. "Were disappointed to lose John, but he leaves with our blessing and best wishes," said New Zealand Football chief executive Grant McKavanagh in a statement. "Its a success story that shows that the kiwi coaching system can provide an international pathway for our coaches as well. "He leaves behind a strong legacy, not just for womens football but for football development as a whole." New Zealand also advanced to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing where the team was 0-1-2. Peter Montopoli, the Canadian Soccer Associations general secretary, said last week a new Canadian coach would be in place before exhibition games against the United States on Sept. 17 and 22. Its a short turnaround for Herdman between his hire and the games against the U.S., which he referred to as "a baptism of fire." Herdman declined to say why he thinks Canada did so poorly at the World Cup, but that he plans to use upcoming games to focus on what changes need to be made. "Youve got all the ingredients to be successful so I think there will be some time where you look to see, well, what is it that we need to change to make that difference? Whats the tipping point here?" The CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament will be held in Vancouver in January. The tournament will attract eight teams including Canada, Mexico and the United States, plus three from the Caribbean and two from Central America. The top two countries earn spots in the London Games. The 2015 Womens World Cup will be held in Canada. The tournament will feature 24 teams, an increase from the 16 that competed in Germany.

Not a bruised left hand. Not the dislocated index finger on his right. And certainly not the Sacramento Kings. Sullinger scored 14 of his career-high 31 points in the fourth quarter, igniting a 15-0 surge that sent the Celtics to a 99-89 victory over the Kings and their longest winning streak in more than two months. Sullinger, who also pulled down 16 rebounds, hit just four of his first 10 shots from the field, but the second-year centre drained 10 of his final 14 as Boston closed the game on a 25-15 run. "I think he feels better every day," Boston coach Brad Stevens said. "Fair or unfair, thats who we need him to be. And so thats the opportunity in front of him. "Im not saying that you have to get a double-double every day, but hes darn near capable of that." Jerryd Bayless added 19 points and Jeff Green had 17 for the Celtics, who won their third straight game for the first time since Dec. 3-8. And they did it without their starting backcourt. Rajon Rondo (soreness) and Avery Bradley (ankle) both sat out, allowing Bayless and rookie Phil Pressey to run the offence. But it was Sullinger who helped overcome their absence. The 6-foot-9, 280-pound inside force scored in nearly every way imaginable during his remarkable run in the fourth. He scored on layups, a dunk, a foul shot, a 3-pointer and capped his memorable performance with a nifty turnaround fadeaway on the baseline that kept Boston on top by 14 with 3 minutes to play. "I just went out and played my game," said Sullinger, who had season-ending back surgery last year. "I have been doing it for the last couple of games and just have been letting it go." DeMarcus Cousins led the Kings with 31 points and 16 rebounds, but was on the sideline for much of Bostons final push. He went to the bench late in the third with the Celtics up by three, and by the time he returned 4:10 into the fourth, Bostons lead had ballooned to 11. "I dont think I came in focused tonight," Cousins said. "There were some outside things thhat strike me tonight, so I blame myself for tonights loss.

Sullinger actually heated up in the third, stringing together six straight points during a 10-0 run that handed the Celtics a 59-52 lead midway through the quarter. Boston came out firing in the fourth, opening an early 11-point lead on the heels of two 3-pointers from Bayless, who also displayed his defensive skills when he hustled back on a break to block a wide-open layup by Ben McLemore with 7:45 to play. "Just try and make plays. When you play well together, things work out," Bayless said. "It takes time for people to jell and right now you can see we are starting to jell a bit." Bayless block only sparked the Celtics -- Sullinger in particular -- further. He followed the swat with a rebound and putback, delivered a three-point play, hit a 3 and added the fadeaway to help preserve the lead. "Tip your hat to Jared Sullinger," Sacramento coach Michael Malone said. "He came out and dominated us tonight." Rondo had played in eight games since missing nearly a year with a torn ACL, and the four-time All Star has been rounding into form, averaging 13.5 points, 10.5 assists, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals in Bostons last two games. Sacramento was missing one of its top threats as well. Rudy Gay, averaging 20.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, sat out with an illness. NOTES: Boston C Vitor Faverani (knee) and Sacramento G Marcus Thornton (hip) also did not play. . Cousins was averaging 25 points and 13 rebounds over his last two games. He scored 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the first quarter Friday. . Sacramento lost its sixth straight in Boston. . Boston shot 45.5 per cent (40 of 88) in the opening half, while Sacramento shot 35.6 per cent (31 of 87). . Thomas and Bayless got into a scuffle with 5:11 remaining, and both players had to be separated by teammates and referees. . Bradley has missed six of the last eight games with a sprained right ankle. \' \' \'
