LONDON -- The World Cup memories are fading fast for Louis van Gaal as the size of the Manchester United rebuilding task hits home. Wholesale Washington Redskins Jerseys . A week after losing the season opener, United was held to a 1-1 draw at Sunderland on Sunday, leaving the former Netherlands coach still searching for his first win in the Premier League. Juan Mata gave United the lead in northeast England but former Manchester City midfielder Jack Rodwell headed Sunderland level on the half-hour. "Football is played for creating chances and making goals," said Van Gaal, who led the Dutch to third place in Brazil. "We havent created so many chances today. We probably had more ball possession and were more dominant than the last match but you have to win your game at that moment and we couldnt, so thats a pity." Before the approach from United to replace David Moyes, Van Gaal was close to taking charge at Tottenham. Instead, Mauricio Pochettinos reign at White Hart Lane has begun with successive league wins as his team overwhelmed Queens Park Rangers with a stylish 4-0 rout on Sunday. Whether Tottenham is a top-four contender might only become clearer when the north London club hosts Liverpool next Sunday. Before then Liverpool plays champion Manchester City on Monday in a meeting of last seasons top-two. United, which collected a 20th English title in 2013 before Alex Ferguson retired, seems some way away from rejoining the elite, based on the Swansea loss and Sunderland draw. By pursuing Argentina forward Angel Di Maria, who would likely cost more than $100 million to leave Real Madrid, the United owners are showing there is money to spend, having already splashed out around $125 million in recent months. And the first goal came Sunday from the clubs most expensive player, Mata, who joined in January for 37.1 million pounds (then $61 million). The Spain midfielder met Antonio Valencias low cross from close range in the 17th minute after evading Sebastian Larsson. But Uniteds frailties at the back were exposed in the 30th minute when Larsson sent a corner to the near post for Rodwell to head home. In a further blow for United, defender Chris Smalling left Sunderland with a suspected groin injury that will be assessed on Monday. "We were at times sloppy," United striker Robin van Persie said. "I dont think one point is enough because we have high ambitions." Tottenham already has a maximum six points like Chelsea and Swansea, and produced the type of expressive attacking display expected when Pochettino was brought in from Southampton in May to replace Tim Sherwood. Nacer Chadli scored the first of two goals in the 12th after bringing down Emmanuel Adebayors cross with his chest. Erik Lamela, the $40-million record-signing derided in his first season at Tottenham has been revitalized by Pochettino, setting up Eric Diers header from a corner and providing the cross that Chadli nodded in before half time. Tottenhams fourth came from a rapid counterattack in the 65th minute, with Danny Rose galloping down the left flank before squaring for Adebayor to side foot into the net. "Lamela, Adebayor, Chadli and (Christian) Eriksen create the movement and rotate -- they are free," Pochettino said. "We work a lot on the training ground but it is important that the players are free in their minds because they are creative players." In the days other game, Hull had to play with a man disadvantage against Stoke from the 14th minute when James Chesters outstretched leg denied Glenn Whelan a goal-scoring opportunity. But Nikica Jelavic still managed to put Hull in front in the 42nd from a tight angle. It took until the 84th for Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross to bundle in a goal to salvage a 1-1 draw.

Washington Redskins Jerseys China . Dallas (2-0-1) sits atop the Western Conference with an MLS-best seven points. Castillo opened the scoring in the 71st minute off a Mauro Diaz set piece, and Watson outran defender Tony Lochhead on a long ball and then juked goalkeeper Ian Kennedy for the eventual game-winner in the 78th minute. http://www.cheapredskinsjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-greg-stroman-jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.Chantilly, a city of culture, history and horse racing, will now act as the backdrop for an England team looking to make history this summer, as it provides the training base for Roy Hodgsons side. Sky Sports News HQ were granted exclusive access to the team hotel and training ground and, after spending a day wandering the quaint little streets of this northern French town, its easy to see why the FA were drawn to this location.Less than 25 miles from the French capital, Chantilly was chosen by the FA because of its proximity to Paris and its transport links, as well as the calm and relaxed atmosphere of the city (it is classed as a city, despite having a population of around 11,000). The players will be allowed to spend their downtime venturing out on to the high street for a look at the shops or to stop at one of the traditional French cafés for a coffee. And judging by Chantillys equestrian background, you wouldnt expect them to encounter too many football supporters wanting autographs. Unless youre a certain Leicester striker that is… The five-star Auberge de Jeu de Paume will be Englands home during Euro 2016 As part of our shoot in Chantilly, our chief football reporter Nick Collins recorded a series of pieces to give SSN HQ viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what life might be like for an England player this summer.One clip shows Nick walking down the high street and stopping for an espresso at a local café. When I thanked one of the customers in the cafe for helping to translate, he jokingly asked for an England shirt on my return to Chantilly in the summer with a leading English strikers name on the back.Jamie Vardy? Hes good isnt he? Asked the diner, to my amazement. It seems the Leicester story has made it all the way to the Picardy region of northern France.While Vardy and co may get recognised in the streets of Chantilly, they wont be stopped by tourists in their hotel, the five-star Auberge de Jeu de Paume. The hotel has granted exclusivity to the FA, which has meant turning down a group of regular sponsors who usually stay for the Prix de Diane Longines at the adjacent racecourse. Jamie Vardy and his England colleagues should have no problem relaxing in the bedrooms at the Auberge de Jeu de Paume Exclusivity, as well as facilities such as a swimming pool, a spa and a room to build a bespoke gym, were the reasons behind the FA selecting the hotel.

Englands training base is just a five-minute bike ride or short drive from the hotel.The training base itself still has lots of work to be done, but the evidence is already there of the investment that is being made at the Stade de Bourgognes, home to local amateur side US Chantilly.French pitch specialist Sebastien Ranson and his team were hard at work preparing the pitch when we were there - just ahead of laying seeds that had been flown in especially from the FAs St Georges Park headquarters.We have had lots of meeting and discussions but we are happy that the weather is good now or it could have been tricky, Ranson told us. This is the only training pitch of the 24 [qualified] countries to have a hundred per cent new pitch as the quality was too poor. Im pretty sure that were going to be okay and Im confident about the quality of the pitch.
