Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic has told his players to soak up as much of Saturday nights derby atmosphere as they can.Emotions are set to run high in the Wanderers first game of the A-League season - a cracking clash with Sydney FC at ANZ Stadium.Popovic trusted his squad to channel their passion into a winning performance, urging them to indulge their senses in front of more than 60,000 fans.They have to embrace it, Popovic said.Theyll have butterflies - if they dont theyre not human.Youre walking out to a huge crowd.They should embrace what they feel and know that when the game starts theyre very well-prepared to put on a good show.Off-season recruit Steven Lustica is used to playing in front of Western Sydneys active supporter group, the Red and Black Bloc, as an opponent with former club Brisbane.He was eager to experience their fervent support for the first time.Playing against the Wanderers was always the game you look forward to the most because of the atmosphere they create at their home games, Lustica said.The passion, you can really sense and feel it.That type of atmosphere is something you always strive to play in.On Saturday night its going to be even bigger and louder.Such a blockbuster clash would have seemed unimaginable five years ago when the Wanderers were first conceived and running on next to nothing.But Popovic always envisioned it.Maybe not so soon, Popovic said.But when you do a trial game at the start, and you have only five players signed and 4000 people show up, you know that this is possible.Im proud that this great club can host a game here at ANZ, and to have the numbers expected tomorrow is phenomenal.

New Balance Schuhe Günstig .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Drenched with sweat and nearly out of breath, exhilarated American fencer Gerek Meinhardt tried to explain how his mens foil team won an Olympic medal for the first time in 84 years.We feel like we belong here, Meinhardt said.Before Meinhardt could utter another word, teammate Alexander Massialas cut him off.We dont think. We do belong here, Massialas said.It was hard to argue otherwise after the Americans won bronze Friday, the third medal for the U.S. mens fencing team at the Rio de Janeiro Games. Massialas and Meinhardt led the way as the U.S. defeated Italy 45-31 following a tough loss in the semifinals.Russia won the mens team foil gold, its sixth fencing medal at the Rio Games. Russia rallied from five points down to beat France 45-41, capturing its third gold medal in fencing so far.Massialas and Meinhardt dominated the Italians with a three-match stretch in which they outscored their opponents 20-1. The win was especially sweet for Massialas, whose poor performance in the final moments of his previous match kept his team from fighting for a gold medal.The U.S. began its day with a 45-37 win over Egypt, putting the Americans just a win over Russia away from the final.The Americans had the Russians right where they wanted them, too, up 40-39 and with the top-ranked Massialas set to close the bout.But Alexey Cheremisinov stunned Massialas with a series of quick blows, and the U.S. fell 45-41.I only have my teammates to thank because I was down after that match. It was probably one of the worst team matches Ive ever fenced, and I felt like I let my whole team down, Massialas said. There were no droopy heads except for mine.dddddddddddd All they did was try to pick my head up.With roughly four hours to kill between bouts, the Americans went on their phones and discovered what they called a series of mean tweets about their performance against the Russians.Instead of bringing them down, Miles Chamley-Watson said the criticism brought the team closer together -- even joking that the haters were motivators.The effort that ultimately led to a medal truly was a team effort.Chamley-Watson fenced about as well as he ever has in the preliminary rounds. Race Imbodens only bout in the Olympics was a win over individual champion Daniele Garozzo in the bronze-medal match, and Meinhardt outscored his opponents 13-1 in his final two bouts.And it was only fitting that Massialas, just hours after losing to Russia, would score the 45th and final point.Its more than a medal at this point, Massialas said.While the U.S. womens fencing team broke through in 2004, when Mariel Zagunis won the first of two individual gold medals, the men had yet to do so until the Rio Olympics. The foil team finished fourth four years ago at the London Games.This time, the Americans were able to finally celebrate.They made the most of it, too, jumping into the stands and wrapping themselves in American flags on the piste.For the first time, the U.S.A. is a powerhouse in fencing. It never has been before, Imboden said. For us to come together and have each others backs, it just proves that its not a fluke anymore. ' ' '
