BRASILIA, Brazil -- The last thing Brazils mens soccer team needed in its first game at the Olympics was to leave the field without a win and jeered by fans.The disappointing 0-0 draw against 10-man South Africa prompted loud boos from the crowd and renewed fears of another embarrassment at home just two years after a humiliating 7-1 loss to Germany in the World Cup semifinals.Thursdays result in Brasilia heaped pressure on a young team that has the task of helping the nation regain lost pride by winning its first Olympic gold medal in football. The Olympic gold is the only trophy the five-time World Cup champions havent won.The pressure has always been there, coach Rogerio Micale said. We cant be affected by a result like this early in the competition. We have to recover as fast as possible because we still have two important games ahead.Demands are high on Brazils Olympic team because it is led by Neymar and some of the countrys most promising players, including forwards Gabriel Jesus and Gabigol. The team arrived as the main favorite to win the gold in a tournament with very few stars.Only victory will be enough for the demanding home fans, who still vividly recall the humiliating loss to Germany. Most recently Brazil was embarrassed at the Copa America when it failed to advance past the group stage of the continental competition.Neymar skipped the Copa America to try to help Brazil win Olympic gold, but he was far from his best as Brazil struggled against South Africa. He failed with his few scoring chances and was visibly frustrated. Gabriel Jesus and Gabigol also werent able to capitalize on their opportunities.Gabriel Jesus, who two days ago reached a multimillion-dollar deal to transfer from Brazilian club Palmeiras to Manchester City, missed an open goal in the games biggest chance. The 19-year-old striker said he was ashamed and wouldnt sleep at night because of the miss.Its not because of one move that you should feel dejected like that, Neymar said. Sometimes the ball wont go in, but thats not going to happen all the time. Its part of the game. You have to keep your head high and move on.Brazil plays Iraq on Sunday, when every new miss is likely to draw more jeers from the nearly 60,000 fans expected to pack the Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia.We need the support from the fans, thats important for our players, Micale said. Nobody likes to start the competition like we did, without playing the way everybody expected us to play, but we know we can improve and we will recover.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Even Nick Saban sometimes has to deliver an I told you so to his team, along with a few other choice words.No. 1 Alabamas slow-starting 31-3 victory over FCS team Chattanooga on Saturday night was one of those times.Jalen Hurts passed for three touchdowns and rushed for 68 yards, but the Crimson Tide (11-0) spotted the Mocs (8-3) the games first three points and didnt really shake them until late in the third quarter. The defense had a more Bama-like performance, and hasnt given up a touchdown in 13 quarters.Sabans halftime message after a week of trying to get his players to take Chattanooga seriously: I said, `Do you believe me now?Id been telling them all week, Saban said. The rest wed better bleep out.Hurts was 15 of 21 for 136 yards a week after torching Mississippi State for 347 yards. He had a 47-yard TD pass to Calvin Ridley and added two 1-yarders to Gehrig Dieter, including one in the final minutes that made the score look a little closer to what most expected. Hurts set Alabamas single-season record for rushing yards by a quarterback.Damien Harris rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown and Ridley gained 94 yards on seven catches.Alabama wide receiver ArDarius Stewart did not play in the game, and Saban indicated he was held out because sometimes we have players that have a violation of our standard of behavior.It was a milestone win for Saban, whose 41-5 record as the No. 1 team gives him the most of any coach. He had been tied with Ohio States Woody Hayes (40-4-1) and Florida States Bobby Bowden (40-5).This one came after a string of more impressive performances against Southeastern Conference opponents.I worried about it all week long, Saban said. When youre playing conference games every week and youre playing big games every week, its really hard to get guys not to have a letdown.Chattanoogas first-quarter field goal put Alabama behind for the first time since Kentucky scored the first three points on Oct. 1. The Mocs trailed just 14-3 until deep into the third quarter before Harris raced 25 yards for a touchdown.ddddddddddddAlejandro Bennifield completed 16 of 21 passes for 106 yards for the Mocs, who sacked Hurts three times.I remember playing them here in 2013 and barely recording a first down, Chattanooga coach Russ Huesman said. They have got a really good football team, and they probably slept walked coming into this game. I am not trying to think that they were all jacked up to play Chattanooga, but our guys were pretty excited to play, and I am awful proud of them.Alabama wasnt exactly pushing the Mocs around early. Chattanooga stopped two runs from the 1-yard line in the second quarter before Hurts rolled right on fourth down and hit Dieter in the end zone for a 14-3 lead.That was set up by a muffed punt at the 9.I guess we just underestimated them, Ridley said.THE TAKEAWAYChattanooga: Was almost even in total yards with Alabama midway through the third quarter. Didnt allow a sack to a defense that came in with the most in the nation.Alabama: It was probably the least impressive performance of the season, considering what `Bama is expected to do to FCS teams. Left tackle Cam Robinson and backup Korren Kirven, who started at right guard, both left late with shoulder injuries. Saban expects them to be able to play in the Iron Bowl.POLL IMPLICATIONSChattanooga: Came in ranked No. 11 in the FCS coaches poll and shouldnt be judged much for this one.Alabama: Still a lock to be No. 1 in the AP poll and playoff rankings, especially with teams behind Tide struggling.UP NEXTChattanooga: Finished the regular season and awaits its playoff fate.Alabama: Hosts Auburn in the Iron Bowl seeking a third straight win over its in-state rival.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
