Tottenham Hotspur goal-keeper Hugo Lloris inspired his team to a feisty 0-0 draw with -Manchester United in the Premier League's early game on Sunday.
Spurs survived a wave of -early pressure and threatened to end United's eight-match unbeaten run in the closing stages as tempers flared at White Hart Lane.
"They had a great first half but we stayed in the game because we were strong defensively Discount Adidas Superstar Slip On Women's Pink White ," Man of the Match Lloris told BT Sport. "The spirit was great."
United, who had won seven of their last eight games, stayed third in the table, nine points behind leaders Chelsea, and Tottenham remained sixth.
"We lost two points Adidas Superstar Foundation Black White Outlet ," United manager Louis van Gaal said. "We had the best performance of the season in the first half and could have scored four or five goals.
"We were fantastic. But when you don't score goals you cannot win. The second half was a struggle."
Had the Red Devils claimed three points, they would have increased the pressure on top two Chelsea and Manchester City.
Instead they were left to reflect on a missed opportunity, but Spurs, who finished the game strongly, also had cause for regret after failing to enhance their own challenge for a top-four finish.
Van Gaal's decision to name an unchanged side for the first time since he took charge was a clear indication of the manager's growing satisfaction with his team's -efforts after some good recent results.
Results Clearance Adidas Superstar Foundation Navy White , however, have told only part of the story, with -United having failed to convince on occasion.
Lloris made a fine diving save to tip over Ashley Young's fierce curling shot and Phil Jones had a close-range effort correctly ruled out for offside.
The influential Juan Mata's deflected free kick also crashed against the post and Robin van Persie should have scored after running on to a sublime pass from Michael Carrick but Lloris blocked his tame shot.
With Antonio Valancia and Young finding space on the flanks and Juan Mata and Wayne Rooney buzzing around in midfield, United repeatedly opened up a route to Lloris' goal, but neither Rademal -Falcao nor Robin van Persie could find a finishing touch.
Falcao saw an angled shot parried by Lloris Whoelsale Adidas Superstar Pride Pack White Black , moments before the Spurs goalkeeper snuffed out an opportunity for Van Persie after the striker had deftly brought down Carrick's chipped pass.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- As the 2016 Rio Olympics starts within one year from now, the host city is filled with six Olympic test events in August, the local people are practicing sports other than football, and the Barra district where the Olympic park located just looks like a large construction site with several subway and BRT lines being built to serve the mega sports event.
Brazil is best-known for its football nike air force 1 flyknit low black , but one of the main aims for the country in hosting the Olympics is to become a nation of sports.
Previously, Brazil was too focused on football to invest in Olympic sports. Brazilian Olympic athletes always complain about the lack of investment in their sports.
Hugo Toni, Brazilian sports reporter said that in Brazil people only care about football, while for other sports, they only follow super stars black vans old skool womens , not the sports itself. Another Brazilian reporter Mario Fernandes also said that football is top priority, volleyball is second popular while other sports like basketball, swimming have to struggle for their popularity.
However things start to change when Rio won the bid of 2016 Olympics in 2009. The federal government has invested more money in other Olympic sports.
Host countries usually improve their performance at home. China topped the medal table at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Britain excelled in London in 2012. The Brazilian Olympic Committee has set their aim to nearly double the 17 medals the country earned in London and put Brazil in the top 10 in the overall medal standings of the Rio Olympics.
Brazil invested about 350 million US dollars from 2009 until the London Olympics. With the new aim in mind, Brazilian government launched a plan in 2012 to try to boost the country's performance by building new training centers and hiring foreign coaches. A record 700 million US dollars in public and private funds will be spent over the four-year leading to Rio.
An Olympic heat is coming to Brazil. Brazilian media are following the Olympic sports more frequently. The reports of major Olympic sports, such as World Swimming Championships and World Athletics Championships yeezy boost 350 v2 cream white uk , could replace football to be the headline.
A recent poll shows that 67% of Brazilians in favour of the Rio Olympics. That's a huge difference from last year's World Cup, which attracted widespread protests and was criticized by slow stadium construction.
"We were very curious to see if there would be banners saying 'No Olympics'," said Leonardo Gryner, deputy chief executive of the Rio 2016 organising committee. "There was nothing like that. People have a very clear understanding of the benefits of the Games."
"The basis of this project is what was built for the Pan American Games in 2007," Gryner said adidas superstar 80s metal toe white , adding that of an Olympic budget of 10.8 billion US dollars, only 2.06 billion US dollars is earmarked for work on sports venues and the athletes' village. Other budget is being spent on construction projects to benefit the city of Rio itself.
"People are witnessing the legacy promised during the Olympic bid. They don't have to wait until 2016 to see everything work. For instance, people using BRT are shortening their daily journey in more than 40 minutes," he added.
In order to promote the Olympic values among local people, the Rio 2016 education program adidas superstar glitter stripes , known as Transforma, was launched in 2014 to teach sports that are less p.
