ZAGREB, Croatia -- Croatia needs one more point to win its second Davis Cup title after taking the doubles against Argentina in straight sets Saturday.Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig defeated Juan Martin del Potro and Leonardo Mayer 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4), 6-3 for a 2-1 lead over Argentina in the final.Cilic can secure the decisive point for Croatia against del Potro in the first reverse singles Sunday. If del Potro wins, Croatias Ivo Karlovic and Argentinas Federico Delbonis will decide the final.We will push to the end, said Dodig, the hero of the doubles victory. Nothing will stop us now.Cilic said he expects a victory against del Potro in a matchup of former US Open champions, although it wont be easy.Mentally, its easier for me because we have won today, Cilic said. Our matches were always tight, and some small details could decide.Del Potro said he and Cilic are good friends on the tour, but tomorrow will be a different situation.He is playing really good this year. He will be playing at home, and it will be difficult, del Potro said.Croatias only previous Davis Cup title was in 2005.Argentina is the only team in the Davis Cups 116-year history to have reached four previous finals and not won.On Saturday, the Croats dominated tiebreakers in the first two sets, with Dodig making some spectacular shots and Cilic holding his serve at key points.The crucial break came in the sixth game of the third set on Mayers serve when the Argentine netted a seemingly routine forehand after making a string of mistakes in previous exchanges. The Croatian duo converted the second of three opportunities.The second set tiebreak was crucial, Cilic said.Cilic closed out the match with a big first serve that Mayer could only send long. The Croats threw their arms in the air and got big hugs from the bench.In the opening singles Friday, Cilic defeated Delbonis and del Potro beat Karlovic.Diego Maradona led thousands of visiting fans with chants and frantically waved a scarf with the Argentine flag from his executive booth at Arena Zagreb. He was wearing a black band on his arm to mourn the death of Cuban leader Fidel Castro.He was like my second father, Maradona said.

Rocky Bleier Jersey .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner. http://www.steelersrookiestore.com/Steelers-Carnell-Lake-Jersey/ . Ryan Garbutt had a goal and two assists as Dallas snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. Donnie Shell Youth Jersey . Their 38th instalment is arguably their biggest fight card to date, including three-title fights and a main event which was selected by the fans. The promotion boasts 14-straight years of business and is operated by MFC president Mark Pavelich, who is often overlooked in this country for the foundation hes established for MMA in Canada. Mike Wagner Steelers Jersey . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action. Reality already is setting in for a few teams that opened the season with playoff aspirations.No. 23 Mississippi, No. 25 Oklahoma and Notre Dame have dropped two of their first three games after each was ranked 11th or higher in the preseason Top 25 . Its the first time in nearly two decades that three teams ranked in the top 15 before the season were below .500 three games into the year.The ultimate goals likely out of reach. How will they stay motivated?If we start focusing on what happened in the last three weeks, were probably going to hit a pretty big wall here in the next nine games, Notre Dame offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey said.CBS Sports analyst Rick Neuheisel knows how challenging it is to recover.Neuheisel coached a Colorado team in 1997 that was coming off two straight top-10 finishes and opened the year ranked eighth. The Buffaloes started 2/3 that season and finished 5-6.Youve got to get up in the morning, be ready to go and put a look on your face -- not that youre angry at your team, not that youre going to punish them because they havent met expectations -- but that were resetting our expectations, were recalibrating and were going to find our way back, Neuheisel said.The last time three preseason top-15 teams were below .500 this early was 1998, when Michigan and Arizona State started 0-2 and North Carolina lost its first three games. Michigan was fifth, Arizona State eighth and North Carolina 12th in the preseason Top 25.These types of starts could become more common in the playoff era, as teams strengthen their nonconference schedules to impress the selection committee.Oklahomas two losses came against No. 9 Houston and No. 2 Ohio State . Notre Dame lost at Texas and at home to No. 8 Michigan State . Ole Miss fell to No. 13 Florida State and No. 1 Alabama after leading by three touchdowns in both games .Becoming and being relevant, I think it creates an expectation, and that expectation results in winning celebrations or disappointing losses, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. Thats the two things youre going to get. Weve had our share of both,, and this year in September weve had the disappointing losses.ddddddddddddThe difficulty of bouncing back when a preseason top-15 team has fallen out of playoff contention is one reason why ESPN analyst and former Texas coach Mack Brown would rather see no polls released until mid-October.As a coach, Ive always been against early polls, because I think theyre very unfair, Brown said. We just dont know about the chemistry. You dont know whos going to be healthy through preseason camp.Brown said regrouping in this era is even tougher than before because so much focus is on which teams remain in the playoff hunt. Brown said bowl games that arent part of the playoff dont get as much attention as they received in the BCS era.You try to win your conference championship. ... That hope is still there, Brown said. There are great things that can still happen in the end if you win your conference championship.Of course, Notre Dame cant use that as incentive due to its independent status. Theyll need to find something else.We can still finish the regular season 10-2, Notre Dame wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. said. Thats a great season. We finished the (regular) season 10-2 last year.For now, all three teams arent dwelling on their postseason possibilities and instead are focused on correcting the mistakes that got them to this point.Theres always the long-shot possibility they could get back in the playoff chase.Citing the 2007 LSU team that won the national title after losing two regular-season games, Neuheisel said somebody eventually will reach the playoff with more than one loss.There will be a day when a two-loss team will get there, (so they can say), `Why not us? Given the way were going to attack our preparation for the remainder of the season, who knows what can happen? Neuheisel said. You hold it out there as hope.---AP Sports Writers David Brandt in Oxford, Mississippi, and Tom Coyne in South Bend, Indiana, contributed to this report. ' ' '
