The Canadian womens soccer team has left virtually no stone unturned ahead of next years World Cup. Andre Branch Jersey .Coach John Herdman has looked to have his team play in tournament venues to familiarize themselves with hotels, training facilities and locker-rooms. Theyve even timed the drive from the hotel to the stadium.Weve said this to the players. The one thing well do is make sure that were the most organized and prepared team for a home World Cup and really take advantage of the fact that we are at home, said Herdman. With the support thatll we get and the Canadian roar behind us, I think the other piece that we can make sure is that there isnt any logistics that we havent had experience of. There wont be too many things tripping us up. But Saturdays draw at the Museum of History in Gatineau, Que., is out of Herdmans hands, although the Canadian braintrust has been studying the possible permutations for months.With the field not set until Tuesday (Ecuador beat Trinidad and Tobago to became the 24th participant), FIFA has yet to divulge details of the draw procedure. That will happen at a news conference in Ottawa on Friday when the seedings and pots are announced.As host, eighth-ranked Canada will be placed atop Pool A and will play its first two games in Edmonton and the third in Montreal.Each of the other five pools will get a seeded country to keep the elite teams apart in the round-robin stage.The U.S., Germany and defending champion Japan, currently ranked No. 1 through 3 in the world, are certainties to be seeded. No. 4 France is also likely to earn a seed.That leaves No. 5 Sweden and No. 6 Brazil favoured for the final seed with No. 7 England and No. 9 Norway also in the running.Canada will be kept away from the U.S. and No. 40 Costa Rica in the pool stage to spread the CONCACAF content. You cant really get a good prediction until after the draw, said Herdman, a native of Newcastle, England, who took over Canada after a disastrous 2011 World Cup. But what is guaranteed is we know who the seeded teams are likely to be. And you know which teams that your worst-case scenario, group of death, might be.A worst-case scenario for Canada could be a group with Africa champion Nigeria (widely seen as far better than its No. 35 ranking), Asian runner-up Australia (No. 10) or No. 14 China, and No. 7 England or No. 9 Norway.There are definitely some challenges, said Herdman.That includes just about any European team. The lowest-ranked of the eight European entries is No. 18 Switzerland.Theres no pushovers at the world level now of womens football. But there definitely are some Tier 1 teams we dont want in our group and some Tier 2 and 3 teams that will be more preferable, said Herdman.You expect to play five Tier 1 teams in a World Cup to get to a final, he added. You may actually have one of those teams in your group which impacts the rotation of your squad, your substitutes, your planning, et cetera et cetera. These things have to be considered.How may games does (captain Christine) Sinclair have to play back-to-back? Can she go all seven if we have a tough group? These are things we have to consider and be one step ahead of the curve if we can.The draw was not kind to Canada, then ranked sixth in the world, at the 2011 tournament in Germany. The Canadians, under coach Carolina Morace, went 0-3-0 while being outscored 7-1 in a pool with European champion Germany, African champion Nigeria and France.Canada could finish as low as third in its group and still advance to the knockout stage. But its route will be easier in terms of opposition and geography if it wins its pool.The 2015 tournament is slated for June 6 to July 5 in Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver,Herdmans team has already played friendlies in Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal and Winnipeg this year.Its been a tough schedule despite the familiar surroundings with Herdman testing out talent and tactics. Canada went 4-5-2 this year with the losses coming against Japan (twice), the U.S., Germany and England. Saturdays draw will impact Canadas pre-tournament schedule, with Herdman looking to play teams similar in nature to those awaiting at the competition. He expects Canada will play around 13 games in advance in 2015. NOTES — Officials from other teams get their own chance to inspect the Canadian venues next week ... FIFA president Sepp Blatter is not slated to attend the draw although at least 23 of the coaches are (Brazil, which hosts a four-team tournament next week, is a question-mark) ... With only Canadas Sinclair expected at the draw among the participant player pool, talk of the ongoing artificial turf debate may be limited.Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Xavien Howard Jersey .

The Raptors maintained their spot atop the Atlantic Friday after defeating the Wizards, 96-88, for their second win in a row.NFL owners will be briefed Wednesday on potential changes to the leagues personal conduct policy.The owners are gathering in Irving, Texas, for their final scheduled meeting before the end of the season. The main subject on the agenda is the conduct policy, which is being revamped in the wake of the cases involving Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson.Among the considerations would be allowing for a neutral arbitrator to rule on player discipline, but for Commissioner Roger Goodell or someone he appoints to handle any appeals. That has been a sticking point with the players union, which wants Goodell removed entirely from the process.Goodells role in personal conduct discipline exists as part of the collective bargaining agreement reached between the league and union in 2011.The NFLPA wants any changes to the personal conduct policy to be bargained, and called any meetings between the union and the league a farce.Last month, an arbitrator threw out Rices indefinite suspension by the NFL for hitting his then-fiancee and now wife Janay in a hotel elevator, freeing him to play again.Former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones said Goodells decision in September to change Rices original suspension from two games to indefinite was arbitrary and an abuse of discretion.After noting the two-game suspension given to Rice was insufficient, Goodell had changed the minimum punishment under the personal conduct policy to six games. Then a video of the Baltimore Ravens running back punching Janay became public, Rice was released by the Ravens and Goodell suspended him indefinitely.Rice and the unioon contended he was essentially sentenced twice, and Jones agreed, saying Rice did not lie to or mislead the NFL. Akeem Spence Jersey. Petersons appeal of a league suspension lasting until next April 15 was heard by Harold Henderson last week. Henderson, a former NFL executive, was appointed by Goodell to rule on the appeal and is expected to do so soon.Peterson is seeking reinstatement, something Goodell told Peterson he will not be considering before April 15.The 2012 NFL MVP hasnt played for the Minnesota Vikings since Week 1 after he was charged with child abuse in Texas. He was placed on paid leave while the legal process played out, and he pleaded no contest Nov. 4 to misdemeanour reckless assault for injuring his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch.We reiterate it is a bad process and weve got to figure out a way to get out of a bad process, NFLPA President Eric Winston said on a conference call Tuesday.The league responded earlier this month to the unions demand for negotiations on the conduct policy with a letter from NFL general counsel Jeff Pash. He wrote that the NFL is prepared to discuss modifying the CBA section regarding discipline to provide that the initial disciplinary decision would be made by someone other than the commissioner or his designee. We would be prepared to consult with the NFLPA on the identity of such a disciplinary officer.But Winston said there is really nothing on the table; the proverbial table does not exist.___AP Pro Football Writer Rob Maaddi contributed to this story.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
