MARSEILLE, France -- If France heads into the European Championship final against Portugal on Sunday as the favorite, it owes as much to the authoritative coaching of Didier Deschamps as to Antoine Griezmanns goals.Bookmakers have made the host nation a good bet after Griezmann scored twice to give France a 2-0 victory over world champion Germany in Marseille on Thursday.Ive always believed in my players. The ones I selected in this squad have repaid me well, Deschamps said. Its their win, their history. Ive been in quite a few finals -- but its better when youre on the pitch.Deschamps was extremely demanding of his teammates when he captained France to glory at the 1998 World Cup on home soil, and again when he guided them to the title at Euro 2000.As a coach, he inspires players with his honesty in decision making, and by not avoiding the tough calls. Fans see it as a reflection of his playing career. Where Zinedine Zidane provided the creativity when France was top of the football pile, Deschamps added the relentless persistence of a ball-winning midfielder.We suffered tonight, but we suffered together, Deschamps said.There are no favors to be had from Deschamps and everyone gets their chance, regardless of status. Star striker Karim Benzema was left out of the squad, and Griezmann has thrived in his absence, taking his tally for Euro 2016 to six on Thursday.Attacking midfielder Dimitri Payet has been Frances other standout performer.One year ago, Payet thought his international career was over when Deschamps took him off at halftime during a friendly match.But he gave him a second chance, and Payet responded with three goals at Euro 2016, helping France through laborious early wins against Romania and Albania.Deschamps persevered with mild-mannered goalkeeper Hugo Lloris as his captain, despite his apparent lack of vocal leadership. Lloris has blossomed into a commanding figure, making crucial saves against Germany when the pressure was on.Im very proud to be part of this team, Lloris said. Everyone faces up to their responsibility.Deschamps is not afraid to take risks and gets players thriving under positive pressure.Observers questioned whether he should select inexperienced Samuel Umtiti in the center of defense against World Cup winner Germany. Making only his second international appearance, the 22-year-old Umtiti proved Deschamps right with an assured performance.On the eve of the Germany match, Deschamps told his players to write themselves into the history of French football.They stand one game away from doing just that, and Deschamps is reminding them what it would mean.The best thing that happened to me as a player was wearing this jersey, Deschamps said.It seems hard to bet against France winning on Sunday, because Deschamps has a winning habit.He was captain when Marseille won the Champions League in 1993 -- the only French side to win it -- and led Monaco against the odds to the 2004 final, where it lost to Porto. In his first season as Marseille coach, he won the league title in 2010 -- ending an 18-year wait -- and won three League Cups.Deschamps is flexible with his tactics and a strong man-manager.He has kept players hungry throughout Euro 2016, dropping Griezmann after his lethargic performance against Romania in the opener.Griezmann came off the bench against Albania to score with a well-placed header in the 90th minute, breaking the stalemate.There was no stopping him after that.

The deal is pending a physical, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said.

The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends.

The 21-year-old has three goals, four assists and a plus-5 rating in 24 games with the American Hockey Leagues Oklahoma City Barons this season. Phil Simms Youth Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. The surging Dallas Cowboys can complete a season sweep of the AFC North with a victory over the visiting Baltimore Ravens in Week 11.The Cowboys (8-1) are riding an NFL-best eight-game winning streak and have already beaten the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns. Dallas head coach Jason Garrett, however, acknowledged the Ravens (5-4) pose a huge challenge with the top-ranked defense in the NFL.Theyre a very impressive group, Garrett said. Theyre a very well-coached group. They have a lot of really good players on all three levels of defense. They play with the physical style. Its easy to see why theyre among the best defenses in the league.Baltimore has bounced back from a four-game losing streak with victories over Pittsburgh and Cleveland to take over sole possession of first place in the division.The Ravens were the only team in the division to emerge with a victory in Week 10, and they can further extend their lead in the downtrodden AFC North with a win over Dallas.When you get the lead, you want to keep the lead, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said. When you keep the lead, you want to extend the lead. That is what we aim to do in every game -- not always successfully, but that is our goal. Certainly, that is going to be the objective during the course of the season.Dallas, meanwhile is in full control of the NFC East. The Cowboys have not lost a game since a 20-19 setback to the New York Giants in the opener.This matchup features a high-flying Dallas offense, ranked fifth in the NFL, going against the Ravens lock-down defense. Dallas has confirmed that rookie quarterback Dak Prescott will get the start this week even though veteran Tony Romo is healthy enough to play. Prescott has given the Cowboys a spark this season, throwing for 2,339 yards with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions. Romo is listed as questionable but is expected to be in uniform.I have playmakers all around me and Pro Bowl guys who have been doing well in this league for a long time, Prescott said. My job is easy when you have those guys around you -- just to get them the ball and allow them to do what they have done.Few players have found any success running against the Ravens stout defensive line, which is allowing just 71.3 yards per gaame, also best in the NFL.dddddddddddd However, Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott is having an MVP-caliber season. Elliott leads the NFL with 1,005 yards and has nine touchdowns.They are No. (2) running the ball. We are No. 1 against the run, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said. This is NFL football. I think this is very good for our league and our sport. Everybody is going to tune in to watch. To be the best, you have to play the best. It is a challenge for our defense, but we accept it. I think we are just the men for the job.The Cowboys, however, have other weapons on offense, primarily with receiver Dez Bryant and an offensive line that has three former first-round picks (offensive tackle Tyron Smith, center Travis Frederick and right guard Zack Martin).The offensive line is the heart of this offense, Prescott said. We go as they go. They go out there, they play nasty, they play physical, and they know that.Bryant (back) found his way onto the injury report on Friday but is expected to play.The Ravens, on the other hand, are still trying to find more consistency on offense.Quarterback Joe Flacco has thrown for 2,374 yards with nine touchdowns and nine interceptions. Baltimore has also struggled to get its running game on track, which has put additional pressure on Flacco to make plays. The Ravens will be without rookie left guard Alex Lewis (high ankle sprain) and the status of veteran right guard Marshal Yanda (questionable/shoulder) is uncertain. Injuries on the offensive line have contributed to Flaccos struggles this season.It hasnt been perfect, and weve got to get better, Flacco said. Ive got to be better at dealing with some things.Dallas has the leagues third-ranked run defense, allowing 82 yards per game, so Baltimores ground attack is facing another stern challenge.The Cowboys are the only team in the NFL that does not have a victory against the Ravens, losing ea
