Cassano, who wept uncontrollably after Italy was eliminated from the 2004 European Championship, scored the decisive goal Monday when Italy beat Ireland 2-0 Monday to reach the Euro 2012 quarterfinals. "We Italians are used to suffering, but we always give our best," said Cassano, who nearly lost his life with stroke-like symptoms seven months ago and then required minor heart surgery. "The victory was something we struggled for but the most important thing was to get through the group." With Italy needing a win to stand a chance of advancing, Cassano scored the first goal. He headed in with his back to the goal by the near post following a corner kick in the 35th minute on a warm and muggy night at the Municipal Stadium. Substitute Mario Balotelli doubled the lead in the 90th, a minute after Ireland was reduced to 10 men when Keith Andrews picked up his second yellow card. Still, Italy had to wait a few moments after the final whistle to celebrate, before receiving word that Spain beat Croatia 1-0 in the other Group C match. The victory ended a five-match winless streak for Italy, which began the tournament with 1-1 draws against Spain and Croatia following three friendly losses. "I couldnt wait for them to blow the whistle in the other game and for it to finish," Cassano said. Italy had been worried about a 2-2 draw between Spain and Croatia, which would have eliminated the Azzurri no matter if they beat Ireland. Thats exactly what happened at Euro 2004, when Italy beat Bulgaria in its final group match thanks to Cassanos winning goal. But Italy was sent home when Denmark and Sweden finished 2-2. He cried that night, but eight years later he helped send Italy to the next round despite concerns that he might not even make the squad. In October, Cassano fell ill with stroke-like symptoms on AC Milans team plane. He was out for five months and has said repeatedly that he thought he might never recover. Cassano was also left out of the Azzurris last two World Cup squads by former coach Marcello Lippi, who worried about Cassanos temper. Theres never been any question over Cassanos talent, though. Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given got his hand to Cassanos header, but couldnt prevent it from going in. Balotellis goal was a work of art, with the 21-year-old striker acrobatically wrapping his shot around defender John OShea in mid-air, as he met a corner kick from Alessandro Diamanti. Having started Italys opening two matches, Balotelli replaced Antonio Di Natale in the 74th. Italy will meet the Group D winner Sunday in Kyiv, Ukraine -- with France, England and co-host Ukraine among the possible opponents. "No difference to us (who we play). We have already played Spain, who are reigning world and European champions," Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said. "If we play well, we can take on anyone." Spain won the group with seven points, Italy finished second with five, Croatia was next with four and Ireland -- which was already eliminated -- exited its first major tournament in 10 years with none. "We played well tonight, but without creating too many chances either," Ireland forward Robbie Keane said. "Were disappointed not to get anything out of the group, but weve been beaten by better teams." Italy controlled the match for long stretches, but Ireland -- managed by former Azzurri coach Giovanni Trapattoni -- threatened often with counterattacks. Andrews had been Irelands most dangerous player. Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon did well to control a bouncing effort from Andrews on the hour mark and the midfielder came even closer with a free kick that Buffon stopped with a diving save in the 79th. "We had to suffer a lot in this game -- perhaps more than in the first two," Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi said. "We werent afraid of them equalizing but they hit the long ball and all you need is one piece of good fortune." With the temperature hovering at 30 C (86 F), half the stadium was filled with green-clad Irish fans -- even with their team already assured of going home -- while there was only a small pocket of Italian supporters. Ireland wore black armbands to commemorate the 18th anniversary of shootings in Northern Ireland that killed six people. ------ Lineups: Italy: Gianluigi Buffon, Ignazio Abate, Andrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini (Leonardo Bonucci, 57), Federico Balzaretti, Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio, Thiago Motta, Daniele De Rossi, Antonio Di Natale (Mario Balotelli, 74), Antonio Cassano (Alessandro Diamanti, 62).

The Hornets opened the residency with Wednesdays impressive 93-92 win over the Dallas Mavericks, as Jarrett Jack made three foul shots with 8.Fresh off setting the world record, Ashton Eaton picked up right where he left off to kick off the battle for the Worlds Greatest Athlete at the London 2012 Olympic Games. The American leads after three events in the decathlon. Eaton won both the 100-metre and long jump, before setting a personal-best in the shot put. He has a total of 2848 points, leading second-place American Trey Hardee, who sits at 2743 points. "I feel good and my body feels good. I had a good start to the 100m," Eaton said. "Its good that both of us are on top, thats where we want to be. "It was a fantastic morning and Im not lacking for something." Canadas Damian Warner is off to a strong start as well. Strong scores in his first two events helped him to a three-event total of 2637 - good for fifth place before the late session. "It was a lot of fun. I had some events that were close to my personal bests," Warner said. "I dont have a number in my head, Im just going to try the best that I can."Eaton ran an Olympic-best time of 10.35 seconds to win the 100 metres in the opening event - a heat that produced the best three times of the four heats. Ashton earned 1011 points.That heat included Warner, who produced a season-best time of 10.48 seconds to finish in third, earning 980 points.Hardee also ran a season-best time of 10.42s to finish second. He earned 994 points.Eaton followed that up by winning the long jump competition, his second straight event to opeen the decathlon, clearing a distance of 8.dddddddddddd3 metres - the only man in the field that cleared 8.0m. Warners 7.54m distance was the fifth-best on the day and a personal best in the event. Eatons shot put distance of 14.66m was a personal-best, but was only good enough for 11th. Hardee made up some ground by finishing fifth with a throw of 15.28m. Warner, who entered the event in third place, struggled with a throw of 13.73m, good enough for 24th.Eaton established himself as the man to beat in the event, after breaking the world record at the U.S. Olympic Trials in June, with a score of 9039 points. That broke the world record of 9026 that was established 11 years ago by Roman Sebrle of the Czech Republic.Coincidentally, the 37-year-old Sebrle had to withdraw from the event, after injuring his right heel in the 100m. Eatons record-breaking score is nearly 500 points better than the next best score in the decathlon this season.His meteoric rise, coupled with the Olympic gold captured by Great Britains Jessica Ennis in the heptathlon, has raised the profile of the sport and the anticipation of his performance at the Olympic Games, something that Eaton noticed on the first day - ."The fans dont really understand the decathlon, but from the crowd out there, theyre learning. To stay for the shot put, which is not that exciting, proves that." Day 1 of the decathlon will wrap up in the late session with the high jump and 400m. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys \' \' \' |
