Melbourne City have turned the expectation dial up to 11 on the eve of the A-League season, declaring the time right for a breakthrough success.City are embracing their position as one of the favourites to win the league, which kicks off on Friday, after making good use of the embarrassment of riches at their disposal.John van t Schip has brought in nine players with international or title-winning experience, headed by Socceroos legend Tim Cahill.It prompted a bold declaration by club vice-chairman Simon Pearce at the clubs season launch on Tuesday night in Melbourne.The influential Sydney-based executive said he knows rather than believes success will come to the club, who recorded their best finish - fourth - to an A-League season last year.Pearce praised the coaching set-up and infrastructure on his visit to Australia, saying City had become a world class football club.Its the clubs seventh season in the league but year three under the ownership of the mega-moneyed City Football Group.In the past two years, Citys W-League team claimed an emphatic title with a perfect season and the National Youth League side won their 2015 competition.Given the investment, the clubs hierarchy feel the time for a return is now and van t Schip agrees.The Dutchman said anything short of the clubs first piece of silverware for the senior mens side would be a disappointment.Weve been making good progression but still in that progression we missed trophies. This club is now ready, he told AAP.We have the team to achieve that. In saying that, its about hard work.City are two wins away from the 2016 FFA Cup, having drawn cross-town rivals Melbourne Victory in the semi-final of the competition, and van t Schip is eyeing it off.The first one we can do that is the FFA Cup and we more than understand - its important to the players, its important to the fans, its important to win silverware this year, he said.Of course, with expectation comes pressure.Van t Schip, in the final year of a contract with the club, suggested he knew the ramifications of falling short of the clubs lofty aims.I understand how things work, he said.Weve reached some goals in the way of how were playing. Last year, we had very good games, very entertaining.We also knew we were vulnerable in the way we defended as a team.The players that weve brought in, Im confident we will be there until the end.Nike Vapormax Flyknit 3 Φθηνα . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover. nike vapormax plus greece .

Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- With a Saturday night game against No. 8 Wisconsin looming, the Ohio State Buckeyes are trying to figure out why their usually dynamic aerial attack is suddenly sputtering.Quarterback J.T. Barrett struggled finding open receivers and then getting the ball to them in Saturdays 38-17 win over Indiana, completing just nine passes in 21 attempts for 93 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Often the Buckeyes resorted to Barrett tucking the ball and running. He did so a career high 26 times, picking up 137 yards and a touchdown. As far as coach Urban Meyer is concerned, thats too many hits for the teams best player.Thats going to be worked on extremely hard, Meyer said Monday. Its a combination, it wasnt one issue but several. Either its a misfire, not a well-executed pattern or a dropped ball. We just have to do much better.Barrett blamed it on not being able to get everyone on the same page for every play.We were in some good plays sometimes, and whether it (was) me messing up on an assignment or a read, or a receiver messing up or the O-line messing up, we just werent clicking on all cylinders on all units on offense at times, a subdued Barrett said Monday. We played poorly because we didnt play with great fundamentals.Ohio State may be the one of the few places where there is hand-wringing after a three-touchdown win, but thats the way it is in Columbus. After the game Meyer called the passing failures alarming, but he said Monday that might have been an overreaction. And he said some adversity can make players work even harder.I think urgency is always good, absolutely, he said. Lou Holtz would (say), and its forever branded on my heart: You dont attack a team when you lose a game. You attack them when you win the gamee (and) itll play well.dddddddddddd So were attacking, and theres urgency.DEFENSE SHINES: Meyer called out eight defensive players as earning the highest grades against Indiana, which was held to just 99 yards on the ground. The defense made two critical stops on fourth down, one in the fourth quarter when Nick Bosa, Michael Hill and others stopped Indianas Devine Redding on the Ohio State 4 yard line following a Barrett interception.The Buckeyes rank second in the FBS in scoring defense, allowing 10.8 points per game, and is the only FBS team to have not allowed a rushing touchdown yet this season. Ohio State is fourth in the country in turnover margin (+8) with 12 turnovers caused against four surrendered. Safety Malik Hookers four interceptions tie him for most in the country.PARRIS RISING: Wide receiver Parris Campbell is getting Meyers attention as a special teams standout. Campbell broke a 92-yard kickoff return that turned into an Ohio State touchdown after Indiana had scored to cut the Buckeyes lead to 17-10 with 1:03 left in the first half.Parris Campbell is as valuable a guy as there is on the team right now, Meyer said. He had a 92-yard kickoff return, hes all over the place as far as what we ask him to do.BIG TEN CROWDS TOP 10: The Big Ten has four teams in the top 10 of The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll during the regular season for the first time since 1960.
