LONDON -- When Englands players froze on the field at the start of the second half against Spain, it was to celebrate Jamie Vardy establishing a two-goal lead by contributing to the mannequin challenge.When they froze again in the closing minutes at Wembley Stadium, it was unintentional as Spain ran through the English defense to score twice and avoid defeat.A counterattack was completed in the 89th minute by Iago Aspas, who curled the ball around defender John Stones and off the far post to mark his Spain debut with a goal. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, Isco brought the ball down on his chest and went past Eric Dier before shooting through substitute goalkeeper Tom Heatons legs.And the Spanish even managed to outdo England after Tuesdays 2-2 friendly draw, freezing in exaggerated poses in the dressing room to play their own part in the mannequin internet craze with a 56-second video that was swiftly uploaded.Spain certainly had the last word as Julen Lopetegui signed off from 2016 with an unbeaten start in his six games as coach.England counterpart Gareth Southgate was completing his audition after four games as interim coach. Letting a two-goal lead slip to a second-string Spain side will alarm the English Football Association but Southgate is still expected to be handed the job on a permanent basis rather than returning to the under-21s.The Spain setback will rankle but Southgate is still unbeaten in his four games at the helm, including two wins and a draw in World Cup qualifying.Ive proved I can manage big matches, that I can tactically, with the help of my staff, prepare a team to play against a top side and give them a tough test, said Southgate, whose previous senior management role ended seven years ago at Middlesbrough.I feel every situation Ive been through, and many have been complex and potential powder kegs, weve coped with very well. Im pleased with how weve coped with it all, really.Southgate assumed the job in a difficult situation. Sam Allardyce replaced Roy Hodgson after Euro 2016 but he was ditched after only one game over unguarded comments to undercover reporters.I took over at a moment of instability for everybody, and weve brought stability back and built a platform for the team going forward, Southgate said. In terms of the remit, weve fulfilled that.The former England defender should have headed into meetings about his future with FA bosses with a victory.It was the perfect start against Spain. Adam Lallana played in a crisp ball for Vardy, who was then brought down by goalkeeper Pepe Reina. Lallana converted from the penalty spot in the 9th minute to make it three goals in three games after failing to score in his previous 26 internationals, but the Liverpool midfielder was forced off injured 20 minutes later.Spain responded to going behind by rejigging the defense, switching from three at the back to four.We tried to play three and then two wing backs, five at the back. It didnt work, Lopetegui said through a translator. The precise thing we tried to avoid was England catching us out in the way that they did for the move leading up to the penalty.So we suffered a little bit and thats when we decided to change things, went four at the back and restructured slightly because we know England are very, very fast on the break.And Spain got caught out again three minutes into the second half. Captain Jordan Henderson whipped in a cross that Vardy met with a diving header to end a 14-game goal drought for England and Leicester.Surrounded by downbeat Spain players, Vardy decided to indulge in a bit of fun. He stretched out his left arm while Jesse Lingard, Raheem Sterling and Theo Walcott also froze around downbeat Spain players on the Wembley Stadium field.But Spain had the last laugh thanks to Aspas and Isco.It was an ugly game, a tough game, Lopetegui said. But we reacted well.And for two teams who were eliminated from the European Championship in the round of 16, it avoided a miserable end to the year. TJ Brodie Jersey . Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN. Mark Giordano Jersey . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. http://www.flamesauthority.com/authentic-matt-bartkowski-flames-jersey/ . The 19-year-old Olsen played 34 games with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL this season. In that time, hes recorded 17 goals and 17 assists with 36 penalty minutes. Tanner Glass Jersey . The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15. Troy Brouwer Jersey . Pedro scored from a pass by Lionel Messi in the 33rd minute and added two more goals in the 47th and 72nd after Valdes saved his second penalty in four days following his stop in Wednesdays 4-0 over Ajax in the Champions League. Stan Van Gundy anticipated his offense would have some issues in the early going. The Detroit Pistons head coach has even more concerns about his defense and rebounding after an ugly performance on opening night.The Pistons need to improve in every area when they play their home opener against the Orlando Magic on Friday. The Pistons trailed by double digits throughout the second half of a 109-91 loss to Toronto on Wednesday. Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas and shooting guard DeMar DeRozan combined for 72 points as Toronto shot 47.7 percent from the field.Detroit shot 41.7 percent and got outrebounded 51-40.We just hit these times where were just a one-option team and the ball doesnt move, said Van Gundy, whose team also dropped its preseason finale 103-92 to the Raptors. Thats going to have to change. But that to me is almost secondary right now. Until we change defensively and on the boards from what weve done these last two games, it really doesnt matter what we do offensively. We dont have a chance to win and be good if were not going to defend and rebound.All-Star center Andre Drummond played just 24 minutes after taking an elbow to the face from Valanciunas in the opening minutes and getting into early foul trouble. He finished with 16 points, six rebounds and four turnovers.The Pistons also clearly missed floor leader Reggie Jackson, who is expected to sit out approximately 20 games with knee tendinitis. Fill-in starter Ish Smith had seven assists and no turnovers in 33 minutes but shot 3-of-10 from the field.Backup point guard Beno Udrihh, claimed off waivers from Miami earlier in the week, had five points on 1-of-5 shooting and two assists in 15 minutes.ddddddddddddWeve got some offensive problems but we knew that was going to be a little bit of a struggle, Van Gundy said.Miami spoiled Frank Vogels debut as Orlando head coach on Wednesday, knocking off the Magic 108-96.Like the Pistons, Orlando had a multitude of issues in its opener. The Magic shot 38.6 percent from the field, got outscored 74-36 in the paint and lost the rebounding battle 52-44.We have to figure it out fast, because we have a tough schedule in front of us, and if we dig ourselves a hole, its going to be really hard, center Nikola Vucevic told the Orlando Sentinel.Power forward Serge Ibaka, acquired from the Thunder in a blockbuster deal in June, had 14 points on 6-of-17 shooting and seven rebounds in his Orlando debut.Center Bismack Biyombo, who was signed to a four-year, $72 million contract as an unrestricted free agent, will make his Magic debut. He served a one-game league suspension opening night for exceeding the flagrant foul limit during the Raptors postseason run.Biz is a monster, shooting guard Evan Fournier told the Orlando Sentinel. Hes our best screener, probably our best offensive rebounder. Hes just a guy with tons of energy. He plays super hard. Hes big for us, man.The Pistons have won the last six meetings with the Magic, including a three-game sweep last season.
