I want to make sure I do what I can to help this team win and that was the decision that was made so I am going to support my teammates.Kaepernick completed just 1 of 5 passes for 4 yards and was sacked five times.

Two completions to Cameron Meredith -- a 28-yarder and 17-yarder -- put the ball on the San Francisco 12.

European fans have shown little interest in a competition that also clashes with their domestic leagues.Japan hosts next months edition featuring Real Madrid and Atletico Nacional of Colombia. ' ' '
