MONACO -- Sebastian Coe declared an historic new dawn for the scandal-wounded governing body of track and field after its members on Saturday overwhelmingly backed his package of broad changes to the way it operates and polices doping.The IAAF presidents Time for Change reforms won 95 percent support from 192 countries that cast valid votes at a special congress and vociferous backing from some of the sports biggest names.The launching of a new, largely independent unit to fight doping, broader vetting of IAAF officials and a greater say for women and athletes wont immediately repair the scorching reputational damage done by revelations of doping cover-ups and alleged IAAF corruption under Coes predecessor, Lamine Diack. French prosecutors working to unpick webs of alleged pay-offs for IAAF protection of athletes who were doping are still gathering evidence, with Russia now cooperating, so there could still be more dark headlines for Coe to deal with.Still, comfortable passage of reforms championed by the middle-distance former Olympic champion and the recognition voiced by athletics officials that they and their sport risked being marginalized if they rejected change do put increasing daylight between the Diack and Coe eras.This is a good and historic day for our sport, Coe said, his mood noticeably lifted by the voting result of North Korean proportions.In another boost, the IAAF also announced a new sponsor, Japanese sportswear manufacturer Asics, to replace Adidas, which cut short their commercial partnership that had been due to run until 2019. The three-year deal with Asics will run through the IAAFs world championships in 2017 and 2019.Coes vigorous campaigning was rewarded with congress delegates standing up one after the other to voice support before casting votes.We need to act now to save our sport, said Paula Radcliffe, the womens marathon record holder, speaking for Britain.Open balloting made it possible to identify the 10 countries that voted `No, making them look isolated in the sea of 182 `Yes votes. Jamaica, home to Usain Bolt and womens Olympic sprint champion Elaine Thompson, was onne of five abstainers. Adidas Dino Ciccarelli Jersey. Coes presidency was almost immediately plunged into crisis after he took over from Diack in August 2015. He reminded the congress that police officers raided IAAF offices, seizing files, when he was just settling in. He noted that recent additional grotesque allegations of wrongdoing under Diack spoke of extraordinary sums of money allegedly changing hands.You should all feel violated, Coe said. This is money that could have been used for the development of athletics.Warning that we cannot let this happen again, Coe said too much power had been concentrated in too few hands under Diack, now facing corruption and money-laundering charges in France. He said the reforms will ensure that never again can one person wield unchecked power, and are required for the multi-million dollar business that athletics has become.Were putting in place a framework that should have been there years ago, he said.The so-called integrity unit planned for launch in April is the standout change. It will handle doping cases involving all international-level athletes, taking that job away from IAAF member countries. The IAAF argues the change will quicken the punishment of cheats, make punishments more uniform, and remove opportunities for favoritism and corruption. The IAAF said the units annual budget of US$8 million (7.5 million euros) will double what it currently spends on anti-doping.Women will be equally represented on the IAAF ruling council by 2027, and council members -- including the president -- will be limited to no more than three four-year terms. Athletes will double their council representation from one seat to two.While some delegates expressed reservations, including about the open vote, reform supporters carried the day.We have to save athletics, said Ethiopian running great Haile Gebrselassie, president of his countrys athletics federation.It does need cleaning, said former Olympic and world javelin champion Andreas Thorkildsen. Thats just a fact. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
SAN FRANCISCO -- Matt Moore hardly needed the warm, standing ovation to realize what late-season baseball is like in the Bay Area. Jonathan Isaac Youth Jersey .It still meant plenty for the pitcher to receive such a greeting from San Franciscos sellout crowd. He is playing for something as September begins, in the middle of a pennant race with his new club.Moore struck out seven over 5 1/3 innings for his first career victory at AT&T Park, and the Giants got another impressive outing from their new starter to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 on Wednesday.Moore walked off in the sixth to a roaring ovation and tipped his cap. The left-hander had lost his initial two home starts since being acquired from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline.It feels great to be accepted and to have that kind of energy behind you. I can feel it, Moore said. You dont really watch the scoreboard in April and May, so just right now knowing where were at, were all focused on getting ourselves on a good hot streak. It does feel like were playing for something more than you are in April and May.Moore (2-3) gave up one run and five hits in his first game since losing a no-hit bid with two outs in the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium. He was backed by a sensational running catch on Paul Goldschmidts sixth-inning drive from center fielder Gorkys Hernandez, who crashed into the wall to make the play.Manager Bruce Bochy was careful not to overwork Moore, who was done at 92 pitches after throwing 133 during the no-hit try at Los Angeles.Buster Posey drove in a pair of runs for San Francisco, which is in second in the NL West behind the Dodgers.Bochy is challenging his players to be more consistent, saying, Its up to us to play better ball.Santiago Casilla relieved Sergio Romo with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth and struck out Yasmany Tomas. Casilla finished for his 29th save, giving up Jake Lambs two-out homer in the ninth.Shelby Miller (2-10) was called up from Triple-A Reno to start. Pitching in the majors for the first time since being sent to the minors on July 14, he allowed two runs and six hits in six innings.I felt good mechanically, kind of a little jittery there in the first inning, just getting back in that atmosphere, which is always so much fun to be a part of games where fans are there, Miller said of big league crowds.Posey doubled home a run in the first. Hunter Pence added an RBI single later that inning in his second game back after missing three with a strained right hamstring.Angel Pagan had an RBI double in the seventh and Posey hit a sacrifice fly as the Giants added insurance.San Francisco third baseman Eduardo Nunez got hit by Millers 91 mph fastball in the left ribcage area but stayed in the game in the bottom of the sixth after an athletic trainer and Bochy checked on him. He is expected to be fine to play Thursday.Arizona dropped just its fifth game in the last 16 at AT&T Park.The Giants wrapped up their tough August at 11-16 and now leave on a 10-game, 11-day road trip beginning with four games at Wrigley Field against the runaway NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs.This road trip is big. Theyre all big now, Bochy said, noting of the Cubs series: Its critical. I dont know if its quite make-or-break.TRIPLESConor Gillaspies last two hits for the Giants have been pinch-hit triples, on Sunday against Atlanta and in the seventh Wednesday ahead of Pagans double that drove him home.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: Arizona optioned RHP Vicente Campos to Reno to make room for Millers return to the rotation.Giants: CF Denard Span was out of the lineup after leaving Tuesday nights loss in the seventh inning with a stiff neck. ... RHP Jake Peavy was still sore a day after receiving several shots of cortisone in his back.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: LHP Robbie Ray (7-12, 4.28 ERA) pitches against Colorado at Coors Field having gone 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA with 29 strikeouts and seven walks in his last four starts.Giants: RHP Jeff Samardzija (11-9, 4.00) pitches the opener Thursday against his former Cubs team in Chicago for the highly anticipated series.

HOUSTON -- At some point you have to leave. Kevin Garnett Jersey . Too many losses, too many injuries and too much turmoil eventually wear a player down.Eric Gordon had reached that point after five seasons in New Orleans, where countless injuries and the inability to keep a team together yielded only one playoff appearance during Gordons time with the team.When the 27-year-old Gordon became an unrestricted free agent this past summer, he sought a new challenge in a place where he could fit in and contribute.When his teammate in New Orleans, Ryan Anderson, decided to sign a free-agent contract with the Houston Rockets, Gordon saw the potential. Playing with James Harden?in a wide-open offensive system run by Mike DAntoni -- for a franchise with a much better tradition than New Orleans -- appealed to him.After starting for the majority of his time in New Orleans, Gordon signed a four-year, $53 million deal to come off the bench for the Rockets.In 18 of 26 games off the bench, Gordon has emerged as a leading early-season candidate for Sixth Man of the Year. Hes second in bench scoring at 17.6 points per game, shooting 45.2 percent from the field and making 46.4 percent of his 3-point shots (higher marks than hed posted as a starter in Houston). Gordon has made at least three 3-pointers in the past 11 games, tied for the fifth-longest streak in league history.When the Pelicans visit the Rockets on Friday night, theyll see a healthy and happy Gordon on the floor.It was definitely time for me to leave, Gordon said. Coming here in coach DAntonis system and Ive been familiar with a lot of the guys that are here. I just thought it was going to be good for me -- a good organization, a good training staff. I just thought they had the whole package for me and all I had to do is just play and not worry about injuries and put that stuff in the past and just revive myself.Gordon was part of the 2011 blockbuster deal that sent Chris Paul to the LA Clippers and Gordon to the Pelicans. Hopes were high, but Gordon missed 115 games in his first three seasons with various injuries. In July 2012, as a restricted free agent, he signed a four-year, $58 million offer sheet with the Phoenix Suns, hoping to escape. The Pelicans pulled him back in by matching it. Gordon stuck with it, but wins were lacking and injuries mounting.When I look back on it, the only guys thats been there is Anthony Davis, and since me and Ryan left, theres been a lot of transition, a lot of guys in and out, Gordon said. So whats the stability there? Im not really worried about whats going on down there, but I just know what happened down there and my role changed year by year. So we really had only one good year (2014-15). Its been tough -- it was a roller coaster there.When it came time for Gordon to seek a new home, he lost weight and rededicated himself to the cause while looking for a place that fit his skill set.Gordon can beat defenders off the dribble, shoot with confidence from 3-point range and defend. All of which is perfect for DAntoni.I think hes confident, he physically feels better, DAntoni said. He lost some weight this summer, he really got himself in shape [and] hes been injury-free, knock on wood, has been rededicated in the weight room and the training room and I think he feels that. And once you feel good, you become more confident. The offense is tailor-made to him and playing with James is tailor-made for him, and I think there are a lot of good things going on and hes taking advantage of it.When Gordon is on the floor, the Rockets offensive rating is 112.3 with an effective field-goal percentage of 54.4 percent.Those close to Gordon say he is more relaxed and confident.Hes happy, hes playing at a super-high level and really being used to the best of his ability, Anderson said. Hes such a great, talented guy -- hes an All-star, in my opinion. Its really good to see him in his element playing at the peak of his game. I know that hes happy. Shabazz Muhammad Timberwolves Jersey . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead.

Thats not a comment on the suspension that banished the Portland Winterhawks general manager and coach from his Western Hockey League teams bench for most of the 2012-13 season. NEW YORK -- Fans loudly chanted the names of starters in the first inning, waiting for each to acknowledge the salute. Only it was a contingent of Los Angeles Dodgers fans in the left-field corner, not the Yankee Stadium Bleacher Creatures.Its always fun when you hear that call go through everybody, Dodgers rookie Corey Seager said. Thats always exciting. It was cool.Seager singled twice and drove in a run on the former field of his childhood hero, Derek Jeter, and fellow rookie Jose De Leon won in his second big league start to help the NL West-leading Dodgers beat the AL wild-card chasing Yankees 8-2 in Mondays series opener.Los Angeles (81-62) reopened a four-game lead over second-place San Francisco, which lost to San Diego. After the game, the Dodgers saluted their traveling fans.That energy picked us up a lot, manager Dave Roberts said. We might have caught the Yankees fans off-guard a little bit.Dodgers fans unfurled a large blue-and-white LA banner over their heads in the manner of soccer supporters in the third, prompting boos from the majority of the crowd of 32,058, and they raised a second banner during the seventh-inning stretch. The group calls itself Pantone 294 -- named after the Dodgers official color -- and arrived from the West Coast on six flights, according to its website.Seager said a Roll Call isnt as effective at Dodger Stadium, known for late-arriving fans battling traffic.It doesnt always work at home, he said. They kind of stopped halfway through, but that one was loud.De Leon (2-0), a 24-year-old right-hander from Puerto Rico, beat San Diego at home on Sept. 4 in big league debut, the 15th starting pitcher used by the Dodgers this season. A Boston Red Sox fan in his youth, De Leon allowed two runs and three hits in five innings.It was electric, everything I expected, he said. I was actually a little more nervous than I was in LA. Since I grew up a Red Sox fan I really wanted to beat the Yankees.Aaron Judge dropped Chase Utleys fly ball to the right-field warning track in the second and catcher Gary Sanchez threw wildly to second base in the third, the errors leading too four unearned runs and a 6-1 lead. Tayshaun Prince Jersey. Yasiel Puig pinch hit in the eighth and drove an opposite-field home run over the right-field short porch, and Justin Turner homered to nearly the same spot in the ninth, his 27th this season.Dodgers-Yankees is among baseballs most prestigious interleague matchups, with New York winning eight of 11 World Series meetings. The Dodgers, who left Brooklyn for Los Angeles after the 1957 season, made their only prior regular-season trip to Yankee Stadium in 2013, splitting a doubleheader.Seager remembered all the times Jeter was saluted in the Roll Call.I see it from both sides, he said. As a fan you dont like seeing the other team do it, but being out there and your team doing it is also really cool. So Im kind of stuck in the middle on that one.THAT STEALRoberts was at Yankee Stadium for the first time since the 2004 AL Championship Series at the old ballpark. With the Yankees ahead 3-0 in the series and leading Boston 4-3 in the ninth inning of Game 4 at Fenway Park, Roberts pinch ran and stole second. Bill Mueller following with a tying single off Mariano Rivera, the Red Sox won in 12 innings and went on to take the pennant. Im not well received at the airport when I make my way into New York-LaGuardia, JFK, Roberts said.PLATE ROTATIONAdrian Gonzalez was the Dodgers DH, and Andre Ethier and Turner are scheduled for DH days during the remainder of the series.HES BACKPuig has three homers in 14 at-bats since his return from the minors.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: LHP Rich Hill, removed from Saturdays start at Miami after seven perfect innings and 89 pitches, is to start Thursdays series opener at Arizona. Roberts took Hill out for fear a blister issue on his pitching hand could recur.UP NEXTLHP Julio Urias (5-3) starts for the Dodgers on Tuesday and LHP CC Sabathia (8-12) for the Yankees. Urias, 20, is 4-0 with a 1.44 ERA in his last five games (four starts). He lasted just 2 2/3 innings in his big league debut at Citi Field in May.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Lions have not announced the hiring, which was first reported by ESPN. Lombardi, the grandson of former Green Bay Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi, has been an offensive assistant on Sean Paytons New Orleans staff since 2007. AFL premiers Hawthorn strove this week to balance the celebration-distraction aspect of Sam Mitchells 300-game milestone against Richmond on Sunday.While coach Alastair Clarkson said the popular midfielders achievements were emphasised in the lead-up to the occasion, it wouldnt be a pre-game focus in the MCG dressing rooms.We acknowledged it in the appropriate manner, but we dont want it to overshadow the importance of just trying to get a win. He will remember his 300th game more fondly if we can get a win this week, Clarkson said.There are times when emotion can get you up, whether its to do with a milestone or something else. But there are also times when emotion can be draining and weve seen that in our more recent history where things have happened during the week and we havent been spot on the following weekend.Its just one time you get a brief time to reflect on the contribution of an individual. We never try to make it too much about the individual because its still a team sport.You still need 22 guys to do a job forr your side. Mitch Richmond Jersey. But there is a moment, especially when its 300 games and it takes 15 years to get there, and thats a long time to play at the top level.Hawthorns settled line-up of one change with forward Tim OBrien back at the expense of backman Angus Litherland is a stark contrast to the reshaped Richmond that the Hawks beat by 46 points in early May.You only have to look at the Adelaide Crows. Its remarkable theyve only used 27 players for the year. Youre always searching for that stability and continuity, whether its players or coaches week to week, Clarkson said.Richmonds whole defence is different [from] the round 7 game. They didnt have (Alex) Rance, (David) Astbury and (Dylan) Grimes play that game.Theres a fair difference in personnel and Richmond at that point were in a bit of a trough and had won only one or two games and over the last nine weeks theyve won six and lost three.

H2k-Gaming took down ahq e-Sports Club to improve to 2-2 in the League of Legends World Championships Group C. Dennis Smith Jr. Swingman Jersey . The best European hope to advance past the Worlds group stage was in strong form and played a complete game in 41 minutes, and H2K was firmly in control for the majority of the match.H2K built an early advantage off of the lane phase, with better lane presence from Yoo Ryu Sang-ook and Andrei Odoamne Pascu, and transitioned to a strong midgame macro plan. They took advantage of ahqs liberal use of both summoner spells and teleports, and outmaneuvered the opposition for advantageous team fights and ganks.Ahq would punish the pace and passivity of H2K and ramped up aggression with forced team fights, and it even a stolen Baron for a small comeback. But, behind Ryus stellar Ryze and Odoamnes ability to buy time and tank up obscene damage, the composition kited ahq in every major team fight and engagement.Ryu was the easy MVP of the game, ending with a kill/death/ratio stat line of 6/1/5.

Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and the Cardinals edged the Tennessee Titans 37-34 in overtime after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. NASSAU, Bahamas -- It was never going to be easy, even though Tiger Woods seemed to make it look that way at times Saturday at the Hero World Challenge, where a hot start was met with a cold dose of reality as his third round unfolded.Woods double-bogeyed the 18th hole for the second time in three days to finish with a 2-under-par 70. He birdied the first three holes and got to 5 under for his round through 11 holes, but some wayward drives and poor putting cost him after that, dropping him 11 strokes behind tournament leader Hideki Matsuyama and into 10th place in the 18-man field at 8-under overall.?Ive got off to some really good starts the first three days, and generally, when I come back from layoffs, thats the most concerning part of the game is getting off to halfway decent starts, Woods said. But Ive been into the round early and Ive been able to build a significant amount of positive shots and go under par early, and unfortunately, I havent been able to keep it going until except for yesterday. I didnt hit the ball that poorly today but hit bad putts in the middle part of the round.Woods was annoyed with himself for finishing as he did, perhaps a good sign in the big picture. Who would have thought hed perform anywhere near this well after being away from the game for 15 months?He has two scores under par, including a bogey-free 65 on Friday, and has made some understandable mistakes.Rickie Fowler might have been among the few who saw this coming. Fowler, who shot 68 while paired with Woods on Saturday, had played with him on occasion near their South Florida homes as the 14-time major champion got closer to a comeback.Im not surprised, Fowler said. Its been impressive to see where he was prior to the Ryder Cup playing and practice-wise to now. The quality of golf kept improving. Its been impressive to see what hes put together this week -- that progress he has made, the speed that he has gained the last couple of months.Its fun to see. I knew he wasnt going to come out before he was ready, and I think hes shown that he waited the right amount of time.On Saturday, Woods surged up the leaderboard with birdies on his first three holes and four of the first five overall -- hee holed a bunker shot at the par-3 fifth -- and he rebounded from a bogey at the sixth hole with another birdie at the seventh.Dennis Smith Jr. Womens Jersey. But Woods was unable to take advantage of the par-5 ninth, and after a birdie at the 11th, he had a stretch of poor driving and putting that led to two bogeys. A long birdie putt at the 17th hole put him at 4 under, then he missed another fairway at the 18th into a waste area that led to a second shot in the water, leading to a double-bogey.Im definitely not as fresh as I would like to be, Woods said. Rickie [Fowler] and I were talking about that. No matter how much you work out, its very different than being in shape. Thats one of the reasons [caddie] Joey [LaCava] came down [to Florida]. He came down for two training camps, we talked, we tried to simulate tournament golf, but nothings quite the same as playing and waiting and grinding and the wind and getting the numbers right and camera phones going off and people moving, sounds. These are all different things that you cant simulate at home.Woods had not played a tournament round since August 2015. He had endured two back procedures since then, wondered about his future in golf, didnt take a swing for at least four months and as recently as October had enough doubts about his game to withdraw from the Safeway Open.He has made 19 birdies here and has held his own against a field that includes 11 of the top 20 golfers in the world.And while Matsuyama -- who has won three of his past four worldwide starts, including the WGC-HSBC Champions -- is out of reach, a top-five finish for Woods is in range. Woods is playing for the first time since the 2015 Wyndham Championship. He has fallen to 898th in the world rankings but is assured of moving up at least 150 spots due to playing against this strong field.Id like to get another solid round in, Woods said. I know the weathers supposed to change and [the wind is] supposed to pump, so hopefully I can lay another really solid round. This golf course is very unforgiving. If you get it going with the wind, you can go sideways.

CHICAGO -- Chicago White Sox slugger Jose Abreu hit another home run Thursday. Carmelo Anthony Jersey . And not just any homer.Abreu continued his second-half surge with two more hits and Carlos Sanchez drove in the winning run in the ninth inning in the White Soxs 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians.Before the game, Abreu met with a young cancer patient and said he would try to hit a home run for the boy. He lived up to the promise on his second at-bat, a blast over the left-field fence that tied it.You feel for the people, Abreu said through an interpreter. It was very emotional for me, too, because if I couldnt hit the homer, I would feel bad because I couldnt accomplish what I promised to him. This is something I feel proud of, because these are the moments that you make people feel happy.Abreu needs six homers and five RBI to join Albert Pujols as only major leaguers with 30 homers and 100 RBI in each of their first three seasons.Hes getting close, manager Robin Ventura said. He started out a bit slow, but when you look at the end of the year, hes probably going to have numbers that are as impressive as anybodys the league.After Omar Narvaez led off the ninth with a single off reliever Bryan Shaw (2-5), pinch-runner Leury Garcia stole second while Avisail Garcia struck out. Sanchez followed with a bloop single to right-center.Reliever David Robertson (5-3) pitched a scoreless inning to earn the victory.Cleveland threatened in the ninth, when the shadows around home plate made it more difficult to hit. Pinch-hitter Francisco Lindor and Coco Crisp struck out to strand the lead run at third.You could see it coming, Indians manager Terry Francona said. Youre hoping you get a lead before that. We had a good chance. ... Its hard enough to hit without being able to only see half the ball.In his most effective start since late July, Chicago starter James Shields gave up one run on three hits and three walks in six innings but remained winless in his last nine starts. He was 0-5 with a 10.75 earned-run average in his previous eight appearances.After a rocky third, Shields mowed down nine consecutive batters before Carlos Santana reached on an infield hit in the sixth.The White Sox took three of four games in the series to conclude a 6-4 homestead against three playoff hopefuls. The first-place Indians remained six games ahead of the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central.Winning the series against the Indians, especially how theyve been playing at the end of the year, is real nice, Shields said.Cleveland counterpart Mike Clevinger retired seven batters in a row before Abreu took him deep in the fourth. That was the lone run off Clevinger, who allowed three hits and one walk in four innings.Shields labored through a 33-pitch third but avoided major damage. The Indians scored only on Jose Ramirezs sacrifice fly despite a single, three walks and two wild pitches.Clevinger encountered trouble in the first, but retired Narvaez on a pop out with the bases loaded.RIGHT STUFFGarcia has a .341 batting average in his last 11 games and five home runs and 16 RBI in his last 28. The hot streak coincided with his move from designated hitter to right field.His swings are better, Ventura said. Whether it was playing the outfield or not, there could be a correlation to that. But I think its more (about) his mechanics and just the timing that he has right now.ON HOLDLindor remained 22 hits short of 200 this season. Since 1996, Michael Brantley (2013) is the only Indians player to achieve the feat.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: C Yan Gomes could be activated and start on Friday pending the test results on his right wrist. He was struck by a pitch Wednesday in a rehab assignment with Double-A Akron. He has been on the disabled list since July 18 because of a dislocated right shoulder. ... OF Lonnie Chisenhall (abdominal discomfort) was a late scratch. Crisp replaced him.White Sox: INF/DH Justin Morneau (neck stiffness) sat out a third consecutive game as a precautionary measure.UP NEXTIndians: RHP Corey Kluber (16-9, 3.05) will bid for his third win in as many starts against the Tigers this season on Friday. Rookie RHP Michael Fulmer (10-6, 2.76) is scheduled to start for the visitors.White Sox: LHP Chris Sale (15-8, 3.03) will take the ball in the opener of a weekend series in Kansas City on Friday night.

Were in constructive dialogue, Gallop said.As we understand it, all the FTA networks are interested and those conversations are happening as well ... between the FTAs and Fox.If a deal isnt done before the end of Foxs exclusive window at the end of the month, Optus - which made a splash with a reported $63 million steal of English Premier League rights from Fox - could pounce again.Gallop said they were definitely interested.They have made a massive investment in EPL ... we cant actively talk to them during this period (of exclusivity) but they have indicated a strong appetite for the A-League.Clubs are hopeful of a significant value bump from the current $40m rights deal, which included previous Socceroos qualifiers and the 2015 Asian Cup.Beyond a deal, eyes will be raised further to where the league could grow.South Sydney, Auckland, Canberra and Geelong are all possible regions for new clubs.Gallop suggested they would be selected during the life of the next four-year deal and be in place for the following one.I would expect, in the next few years, we would have a more-precise timetable on when expansion will happen and where, he said.It will be an important moment in the A-Leagues growth but, like most sports in Australia, weve made mistakes with expansion in the past.For the clubs ... and the division of the pie more than 10 ways, we cant afford to make an expansion mistake.
