Ecuador leaves Argentina gasping for air
Carlos Tevez failed to convert a penalty kick in the 29th minute,
Cheap Mlb Jerseys, and twotime champion Argentina was upset 20 by Ecuador in a World Cup qualifier last night in Quito.
Walter Ayovi beat goalkeeper Mariano Andujar in the 72nd minute and Pablo Palacios scored in the 84th for Ecuador.
Tevez, a Manchester United star who paired up front with Barcelona's Lionel Messi, had a chance to put coach Diego Maradona's Albiceleste ahead early, but his penalty kick was blocked by goalkeeper Marcelo Elizaga, who was born in Argentina.
Quito's 2,
green boston red sox jerseys for sale,800metre altitude appeared to bother Argentina,

toddler vintage cincinnati reds jerseys,650m altitude in La Paz did during a 61 loss at Bolivia in April.
Argentina (644) is fourth in South American qualifying with 22 points, trailing Brazil, Paraguay and Chile. Ecuador is fifth with 20.
The top four South American teams qualify for next year's World Cup, and the No. 5 team goes to a playoff against the fourthplace team from North and Central America and the Caribbean.
In Recife, Brazil, Robinho tied the score in the 41st minute and Nilmar got the goahead goal in the 49th, leading Brazil over Paraguay 21.
In European qualifying, England striker Wayne Rooney scored twice in a 60 rout of Andorra at Wembley to push the team closer to World Cup qualification.
Rooney scored either side of Frank Lampard's goal in the first half and his halftime replacement, Jermain Defoe, also found the net twice. Peter Crouch sealed the Group 6 leader's seventh win from seven games with a late strike.
A victory over Croatia in the next qualifier in September could be enough to ensure England will reach next year's tournament in South Africa.
Despite only playing the first half, Rooney finished the international season with 10 goals the highest season total for an England player since Gary Lineker in 199091.
"Always when you play against a team that is not strong,
custom atlanta braves jerseys, you have to start quickly,
vintage new cleveland indians jerseys, press and win back the ball. That is what we did," England manager Fabio Capello said.
David Beckham made his first start for England in a competitive match in two years. The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder made his 112th international appearance, 13 shy of the English record set by goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
"We have shown in every game various progress and it was the same tonight," Beckham said. "It could have been a difficult game, but we made it easy with the way we played. Tonight we can be happy.''
Though Andorra is by far the weakest side in the group, England's victory still represented an improvement as it had been held 00 by the minnows from the Pyrenees at halftime in their previous two encounters. This time, there would be no such difficulty breaking down the Andorrans, who have yet to earn a point in qualifying.
Rooney had already had a shot tipped over by keeper Koldo Alvarez and hit the crossbar with a header after Theo Walcott's effort was parried before the Manchester United player opened the scoring in the fourth minute.
Rooney timed his run well to meet Glen Johnson's deep ball with a header that beat Alvarez.
With England in total control,
baltimore orioles jerseys for sale, the ball rarely entered its half.
Alvarez, the standout visiting player, turned round Steven Gerrard's shot before England's relentless waves of attacks produced a second goal in the 29th minute.
The 57,897 crowd was the lowest for England since the rebuilt Wembley reopened in 2007, because of a strike by subway workers.
Meanwhile,

Russia won 30 at Finland on two goals by Alexander Kerzhakov and one by Konstantin Zyryanov. Russia (51) is second in Group One,
