| MANAUS, Brazil -- Known simply by her first name, Marta Vieira da Silva is one of the best women ever to play soccer.And with the Olympics in Brazil, people in her home country are finally getting familiar with her.While Brazils other No. 10 -- Neymar -- is struggling with the mens team, Marta is seeing success. And the locals are noticing.For her two goals in a 5-1 victory over Sweden, Marta was showered with cheers. And it wasnt just her goals, one of which came from the penalty spot. She also displayed stunning footwork that wowed spectators.Better than Neymar! the fans at the Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro chanted.She brings so much passion to the game. So much enthusiasm. And I think her teammates thrive off that passion, U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo said. We always have to game-plan for her.With the victory, Brazil assured itself of a spot in the quarterfinals. The United States and Canada also have already secured sports in the knockout round with one more day of group play on Tuesday. The Brazilians face South Africa at Amazonia Arena in Manaus, following a match between the United States and Colombia. The event is already a sellout.When Brazil arrived in Manaus on Sunday, a small crowd of about 100 was there to greet the team at the airport. Some chanted for Marta and a few young girls even wore her No. 10 jersey.Marta grew up playing street soccer with the boys in Dois Riachos, a town about 1,250 miles north of Rio de Janeiro. She was only 17 when she appeared at the 2003 World Cup in the United States.For the 2006 season, Marta won the first of an unprecedented five straight FIFA World Player of the Year awards.Dubbed Pele in skirts, Marta scored seven goals at the 2007 World Cup in China, but Brazil finished as runners-up in the tournament after falling to Germany 2-0 in the final.With Marta, the Brazilians have won the silver medal at both the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Her duel with Solo in the final at the Beijing Games was considered epic. Carli Lloyd scored the game-winner in extra time for the Americans, but it was Solo that fended off a point-blank shot from Marta in the 72nd minute.One of their biggest showdowns came at the 2011 World Cup in Germany. Solo came out the victor on penalty kicks after a dramatic 2-2 draw. Marta had both goals for Brazil, including a controversial penalty kick, but Solo was able to stop Daiane in the shootout. The Americans would go on to the final.With Marta you have to have a little extra attention to her, even though our team defense is really good and really organized. Thats a compliment to her, Solo said Monday. I have played for coaches in the past who thought we could just play our style of soccer against Marta, and weve been punished for it. So Im very aware that we have to pay extra attention to her.Marta has scored 104 goals in 105 international appearances. She has the most World Cup goals with 15. She has 10 Olympic goals, tying her for third on the career list with Abby Wambach.But what Marta doesnt have in her storied career is a major international title.Given the struggles on the mens side, the Brazilians seem to be pinning their hopes on Marta and her teammates at the Olympics.Neymar was taunted by fans chanting Marta! in a 0-0 draw against Iraq on Sunday at Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia. Brazil also played to a scoreless draw with South Africa in the opener and next face Denmark on Wednesday.Mens coach Rogerio Micale said despite the teasing from the fans, the team was proud of its womens side and the other No. 10.For her part, Marta brushed off any comparison to her famous male counterpart. Her focus is elsewhere.This comparison we leave to the fans, Marta said. We all cheer for the mens team and we know that they cheer for us.

Moore Jersey .Y. - Nelson Mandela will be honoured by the New York Yankees with a plaque in Monument Park.LONDON -- Just a year ago Coventry was hosting Olympic football and being lauded by FIFA President Sepp Blatter. For world footballs most powerful executive, seeing top-level matches there again was "a source of great joy and pride." Now the Ricoh Arena, just eight years old and with a 32,000 capacity, is a football stadium facing a future without football. And the financially troubled team that had been based at the stadium is fighting for its future after 130 years in existence, predating the league it plays in. "Its a dreadful thing and it ought not to be allowed for a city to have its football club to be taken away," Labour Party legislator Bob Ainsworth, who represents part of Coventry in the House of Commons, told The Associated Press on Friday. "I want an investigation to expose everything that has gone on over the last few years." In the topflight for 34 years until 2001, the 1987 FA Cup winners have plunged into the third tier as a bitter dispute between the hedge fund that owns the club and the Ricoh Arena landlords escalated. As they rowed over an annual rent of 1.3 million pounds ($2 million) to play in the stadium, the team entered bankruptcy protection and gained permission from the Football League to play home matches about 30 miles away in Northampton, much to the annoyance of fans. Arena Coventry Limited holds the keys to the Ricoh -- and the football teams future. At a creditors meeting on Friday, the stadiums operators blocked a bid by the club to exit administration. As a result, Coventrys parent company will be put into liquidation. The immediate implication was a 10-point penalty handed to Coventry on Friday, which still allows it compete in League One in the Football Leagues 125th season, starting Saturday at Crawley. "We now have certainty and the clubs future is secured," Coventry chief executive Tim Fisher said. "We can now get on and put our future plans into action which means building and owning our own stadium in the Coventry area." Stadium operator ACL is co-owned by a charity and Coventry City Council whose offices are adorned by a FIFA pennant honouring the "lasting legacy of the Olympics" to Coventry. Football League chairman Greg Clarke said his board is "dismayed at the level of intransigence being shown" by the stadium owners and the clubs aadministrators.dddddddddddd "It is a source of immense frustration to everyone involved that the two parties in this dispute have failed to reach any agreement," said Clarke, who is in charge of running the three divisions below the Premier League. The league has backed Otium Entertainment Group -- named as the administrators preferred bidder -- to take control of the club from the hedge fund SISU, which has owned Coventry since 2007. That, though, has been opposed by fans, the stadium owners and the tax authority, who are owed money. ACL lawyer James Powell said Otiums proposals do "not give stability to Coventry," and the Sky Blue Trust urged authorities against making a "bad situation any worse" by handing over control of the club to them. ACL, whose offer of annual rent of 150,000 pounds ($230,000) has been rejected, has concerns that Otium is connected with the existing owners following a "catastrophic insolvency," Powell said. "It is does not seem a fair and equitable outcome," he added. Ainsworth, the legislator who is a former defence secretary, has called on independent auditors to launch an investigation into Coventrys downfall. At the heart of his concerns is how a hedge fund apparently "with no previous connections to Coventry at all" was able to buy the citys one professional team. And that encapsulates wider concerns about football ownership in England and the financial management of clubs. "The game is in a parlous state," Ainsworth said. "If you look at the history of football over the last 20 years there have been countless liquidations and administration events showing that there are serious issues that ought to be addressed. "And Im afraid if the Football League are not prepared to follow their rules and own policy with regard to Coventry (being allowed to leave Coventry) it has to be an indication that they are not bringing about the reform that in my view is absolutely necessary." Ainsworth is demanding that the league listens to fans and allows them to take control of the club, as happened at Portsmouth recently. "Football is the nations most important sport, there are millions of people who are passionate about their own clubs and the game in general," Ainsworth said. "And they deserve to be well served."
