TORONTO - Benito Floro has called in 24 players, ranging
from academy talent to veteran Dwayne De Rosario, for the
first camp of 2015 for the Canadian mens soccer team.With
European seasons in full swing and without the benefit of
a FIFA international window, Floro has summoned a
predominantly North American-based squad.The Canadians
start training Monday in Florida ahead of a friendly next
Friday against Iceland. The two teams will meet again
Jan. 19. Both games will take place at the University of
Central Florida.Its true that speaking of the physical
condition, the players may not be fully fit. It is for
that, as Ive said before, that we need to learn how to
play to win the game using our resources, Floro said in a
statement Friday. It means that they wont have a lot of
energy but we need to control the situation in the game.
We need to develop our plan and strategy and thats very
important.Other veterans in camp include goalie Kenny
Stamatopoulos, defender Dejan Jakovic, midfielders
Patrice Bernier and Julian de Guzman and forward Iain
Hume.The squad includes five players from Toronto FC and
its academy, four from the Montreal Impact organization
and three from the Vancouver Whitecaps and their
residency program.Canada is currently ranked No. 112 in
the world, compared to No. 33 for Iceland.We always do
things in order to win the game. However, it is true in a
friendly game the aim is to play well in addition to
gaining a result, said Floro. We need to develop a good
defensive structure. But its true to that winning games
is always a happy time so our intention is to play well
and to win the games.Canada, whose last outing was a 0-0
tie in Panama in November, is building towards this
summers Gold Cup.Canada is 1-5-4 under Floro, having
defeated Jamaica, lost to Colombia, Mauritania,
Australia, the Czech Republic and Slovenia, and tied
Panama, Mauritania, Bulgaria and Moldova. On the plus
side, the Canadian men lost just once in 2014 (going 1-1-
3) and that was a 1-0 defeat at the hands of third-ranked
Colombia.Iceland is coming off a 2-0 upset of the
Netherlands in October Euro 2016 qualifying play and
stands second in Group A with a 3-1-0 record.Iceland, led
by former Sweden and Nigeria coach Lars Lagerback, is
closing on its highest-ever FIFA ranking (No. 28 in
October 2014). The team was as low as 131 in April
2012.The team came close to becoming the smallest country
to ever qualify for the World Cup, losing 2-0 on
aggregate to Croatia in a playoff to reach for the 2014
tournament.Canada and Iceland have played once before —
a 1-1 tie in Iceland in 2007.---CANADAGoalkeepers: Sean

According to TSN Edmonton reporter Ryan Rishaug, agent
Rick Valette met with Oilers senior VP of hockey
operations Scott Howson and general manager Craig
MacTavish on Monday to kick off the talks.Green Bay, WI
(SportsNetwork.com) - Aaron Rodgers began to wince on a
scramble and went down in pain following a touchdown
pass, but everything was ok when his quarterback sneak
put the Green Bay Packers comfortably in front. Rodgers
tossed both of his touchdown passes to Randall Cobb and
the Packers won the NFC North for a fourth straight year
following a 30-20 triumph over the Detroit Lions on
Sunday. Green Bay (12-4) earned a first-round bye with
the win and will be the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Rodgers
re-aggravated his left calf injury suffered last Sunday
against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers late in the first half
and missed two Green Bay possessions. Matt Flynn, who
started five games filling in for Rodgers last season due
to his broken collarbone, came on to replace him for
those two series. Rodgers began to show effects of the
injury during the latter stages of the second. He cringed
while tip-toeing on a scramble to move the chains on a
3rd- and-8 and fell down holding his left calf after
flipping a 4-yard TD pass to Cobb. The Lambeau Field
faithful cheered when he walked out of the tunnel
following Green Bays initial touch of the third quarter.
The Packers ripped off 16 straight points when Rodgers
returned midway through the frame. The 2011 MVP was a
limited participant in practice all week and was listed
as questionable on Fridays injury report. Rodgers
finished 17-of-22, while Flynn fired a 6-yard completion
on his only pass attempt in the victory. Eddie Lacy
carried the ball 26 times for 100 yards, Cobb caught four
passes for 80 yards and Jordy Nelson hauled in six
receptions for 86 yards for Green Bay, which went a
perfect 8-0 at home. Its definitely tough when you see
your quarterback and leader go down, Cobb said. We just
wanted to rally around him and find a way to come out
with a win. The Packers ran for 152 yards against the
top-ranked run defense in the league. Detroit came in
allowing just 63.8 yards per game on the ground. Matthew
Stafford was 20-of-41 for 217 yards and three touchdowns
and Calvin Johnson had four receptions for 39 yards and
two scores for the Lions (11-5), who are the sixth seed
in the NFC and will face the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild
Card round. I think our guys played hard, played tough,
said Lions coach Jim Caldwell. Rodgers re-entered the
game after Stafford hit JJohnson for a 4-yard TD pass at
the 7:34 mark of the third, which tied the game at 14-
14.dddddddddddd Rodgers fired a 29-yard dart over the
middle to Cobb on his first pass attempt following his
return and later hit him for a 13-yard score on a 3rd-
and-4 to give the Packers a 21-14 advantage. I was kind
of battling to get back out there, Rodgers said. I felt
pretty good on the sidelines ... just felt like if I
could get back out there, I could give us a little jolt.
Green Bays defense forced a three-and-out on Detroits
ensuing sequence. Rodgers tossed a 12-yard completion to
Nelson on a 3rd-and-18 to set the Packers up in fringe
field-goal territory. Mason Crosbys 52-yard kick,
however, was blocked. The Lions failed to capitalize
after Joique Bell fumbled the ball on the very next snap.
Morgan Burnett made the recovery. Rodgers flipped a 15-
yard completion to Nelson to move the ball to the Detroit
10. Rodgers sneak with 8:45 to go made it 28-14. Green
Bay added a safety with 2:32 remaining when Stafford was
flagged for an intentional grounding in the end zone.
Cobb muffed the ensuing free kick and Cassius Vaughn made
the recovery for Detroit. Theo Riddick caught a 6-yard TD
pass with 1:45 to play to cap the scoring. The two-point
try was unsuccessful. Earlier, Green Bay was unable to
punch the ball across the goal line on its opening touch
despite having seven goal-to-go snaps. Lacy was stuffed
on a 4th-and-goal from the 1 by a host of Lions. The
Packers, though, found the end zone when Micah Hyde
returned a punt 55 yards up the middle and down the left
sideline to open the scoring at the 4:49 mark of the
first. Cobbs 4-yard TD catch late in the second upped the
advantage to 14-0. The Lions answered on their next trek
when Stafford fired a 20-yard TD pass to Johnson right
before the half, trimming the gap to 14-7. Game Notes
Cobb and Nelson are the third pair of receivers to have
at least 1,200 yards receiving and 10-plus touchdowns,
joining Randy Moss and Cris Carter from the 1999
Minnesota Vikings and Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker
from the 2013 Denver Broncos ... The Lions were seeking
their first divisional title since 1993 ... Stafford fell
to 0-16 in his career on the road against teams with a
winning record ... Green Bay outgained Detroit 377-313.
