CARSON, Calif. -- It was an eventful year for the U.S. womens national team off the field, with Hope Solos suspension after the Rio Olympics, lawsuits over the expiring collective bargaining agreement and Megan Rapinoes protest during the national anthem dominating the headlines.But in their final match of the year, the Americans offered a summary of how things played out on the field in equal parts fulfillment and disappointment, with Crystal Dunn, Christen Press, Morgan Brian and Samantha Mewis scoring to help the U.S. beat Romania 5-0 on Sunday nightThe U.S. blistered Romania with 31 shots and did not allow a shot, but U.S. coach Jill Ellis was not happy with the teams wastefulness.I think we left a lot to be said, Ellis said.The same could be said of a year in which the Americans went 22-0-3 in regulation play, scoring 92 goals and conceding 10, but failed to defend their Olympic gold medal after losing to Sweden on penalty kicks in the quarterfinals. Still, the U.S. ended on a largely positive note.I think we all reacted well to it and 2017 is going to be an intense year, Dunn said.An own goal in the 20th minute opened the scoring for the U.S. when Dunns cross was chested into the net by Teodora Meluta. Dunn scored her 14th goal this year in the first minute of first-half stoppage time, sprinting past two defenders to take a pass from Press and put a shot between Roxana Opreas legs.Press made it 3-0 in the 55th minute, connecting with Tobin Heath on a give-and-go and scoring for the fourth consecutive game. Press had a hat trick Thursday night in San Jose in the Americans 8-1 victory over Romania.Brian scored on a penalty kick in the 88th minute and Samantha Mewis added a goal in the first minute of additional time.Rapinoe wasnt included on the U.S. roster for the second consecutive match.Ellis is planning to hold camps for the national team and the Under-23s in January, operating on the assumption that they will be conducted under the current contractual structure. But Ellis did not know the status of negotiations between players and U.S. Soccer.I dont get involved in that, Ellis said. Thats between them and lawyers and all that good stuff.Wholesale Fake Yeezys .

Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league. Fake Yeezy Boost 350 V2 . Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist, and Mike Fisher scored a goal and helped set up two others in the Predators 6-4 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night.Jack Conklin came in on day one and was ready to play right tackle in the NFL. Joey Bosa came in a whole lot later than day one but was more than ready to sack NFL quarterbacks.The former Big Ten Conference rivals square off Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego when Conklins Tennessee Titans meet Bosas San Diego Chargers, and the winner of this individual matchup between ballyhooed rookies could decide the games winner.By most metrics, Conklin has been one of the top right tackles in football this year, enabling Tennessee (4-4) to establish its first real offensive identity in years.Wokending the line at tackle, DeMarco Murray is on pace to rush for more than 1,500 yards and the Titans are only a game behind the idle Houston Texans for first place in the AFC South.Bosa was the last first-round pick to sign, his agent feeling that San Diego was squeezing him on contract language. It took Bosa until Week 5 to get into the lineup, but he already has four sacks in four games and has forced opponents to double-team him.Tennessee coach Mike Mularkey is confident in Conklins ability to neutralize Bosa, pointing to Conklins work against him in last years Michigan State-Ohio State game.Thats one thing we saw about Jack -- there werent a lot of guys that gave him problems or a lot of mismatches at all, Mularkey said. We like what Jacks done for us against some very good pass rushers that weve faced this year.Conklin and his teammates up front definitely had their way with hapless Jacksonville in last weeks Thursday night game, rolling up a 27-0 halftime lead and cruising to a 36-22 win.It guaranteed the Titans of upping their win total for the second straight year and gave them multiple home wins for the first time since 2013.Thats also the last time Tennessee played any kind of meaningful football in the seasons second half. Mularkey is telling his team to treat the final eight games like theyre starting a game.Were starting from scratch, he said. We cant watch what anybody else is doing. All we have control over is this game, and lock in..dddddddddddd Whatever we have to do, see if we can repeat, continue to make the progress that were making.While the Titans are shooting for their first playoff berth since 2008, the Chargers (3-5) are at best longshots for a wild card. They trail Denver and Oakland by three games in the AFC West, thanks largely to their inability toith Conklin and Taylor Lewan bo close out games.San Diego coughed up fourth quarter leads in their first three losses, including a 14-point advantage at Kansas City in Week 1 and a 13-point margin three weeks later to New Orleans.The Chargers also botched the hold on a potential tying field goal late in the fourth quarter in Week 5 at Oakland, and failed on four plays from the Denver 2-yard-line last week in a 27-19 defeat.Despite the steep odds, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers says the team can still make a run at the playoffs.Im fired up, Rivers said. We have two at home to get 5-5, get the bye and we go have a six-game season. This feels a little bit like our 2007 season to me. We hem-hawed around and found a way to get to 5-5 and never looked back.Of course, that 2007 team was loaded with talent, deep enough that it finished 11-5 and reached the AFC championship game despite a spate of injuries to key players.This team lost key starters to season-ending injuries after Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4, leaving them with little margin for error.But any team with Rivers, who is on pace to throw 30 touchdown passes, has a chance in any game.Rivers has mismatch possibilities in the passing game if he can find running back Melvin Gordon or tight ends Hunter Henry and Antonio Gates against Tennessee linebackers and safeties who have not covered receivers well this year.Guard Matt Slauson looks at last years Kansas City Chiefs, who started 1-5 and won 10 straight games to reach the playoffs, as an example San Diego can follow.Its the same thing, he said. We can still accomplish everything we need to accomplish. Weve just got to play better as a group. ' ' '
