BRASILIA, Brazil -- Disappointed yet again, the Brazilian fans jeered their own team and saved their applause for Iraq.Brazil, which has never won the Olympic gold medal in mens soccer, failed to win for the second consecutive game, held to a 0-0 draw by the Iraqis on Sunday.The result leaves Brazil tied for second place in Group A. The team needs a victory over Denmark on Wednesday in Salvador to advance and avoid another huge embarrassment at home two years after the 7-1 loss to Germany in the World Cup semifinals.We need to apologize to the fans, to the people of Brasilia, Brazil coach Rogerio Micale said. We didnt play our best football. We feel like we left our fans frustrated.Neymar, the tournaments biggest star, played below expectations for the second straight game, and promising young strikers Gabigol and Gabriel Jesus also struggled.Voicing their frustration, the fans chanted Marta, Marta in reference to the five-time world player of the year who has been thriving with the womens national team.And as the Iraqis rejoiced on the field after the draw, the fans applauded the team and broke out into chants of Iraq, Iraq.Its a historic day for Iraq to be able to draw against Brazil at its home, Iraq coach Abdulghani Alghazali said. Its a great achievement for Iraqi football.One of Brazils best chances of the match fell to midfielder Renato Augusto in second-half injury time, but his volley from close range sailed over the crossbar with the goalkeeper already beaten.As the time passes and we cant score, the anxiety increases, and in this situation its easier to make mistakes, Micale said. Its natural.In other games, Nigeria became the first team to advance to the quarterfinals by beating Sweden 1-0 in the jungle city of Manaus, earning the spot in the knockout round despite arriving in Brazil just hours before its opening game because of a travel mix-up.Portugal moved close to the quarterfinals by beating Honduras 2-1 in Rio de Janeiro, while defending champion Mexico defeated Fiji 5-1 in Salvador with four goals by midfielder Erick Gutierrez. Argentina topped Algeria 2-1 in Rio for its first win, while Germany scored late in a 3-3 draw against South Korea in Salvador.Denmark, Brazils next opponent, defeated South Africa 1-0 earlier Sunday in Brasilia. It had opened with a scoreless draw against Iraq.Brazil is trying to win its first gold medal in soccer and it arrived for Sundays match under pressure after a disappointing 0-0 draw in the opener against South Africa.The crowd of more than 60,000 started supporting Brazil but it grew anxious as the team struggled against Iraq, jeering the players at halftime and more and more toward the end of the match.Gabriel Jesus, who last week secured a multimillion-dollar transfer to Manchester City, missed a few decent chances early and was loudly booed when he was substituted in the second half.Brazil also had a goal by Gabigol disallowed in the 28th because of offside, and Augusto hit the crossbar with a shot just before halftime.Soccer is the only competition played outside Rio. The other host cities are Sao Paulo, Salvador, Brasilia, Belo Horizonte and Manaus. The tournament began two days before the opening ceremony, and the mens final will be Aug. 20 at the Maracana Stadium.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni.

But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. Australian star Kurtley Beale scored a try and was sin-binned on his debut as Wasps toppled Connacht 32-17 to go top of their European Champions Cup pool.Beale, thought to be the Aviva Premierships highest-paid player, took just seven minutes to open his account as he returned to rugby following more than six months out after suffering a knee injury playing for Sydney-based Super Rugby franchise the Waratahs.It delayed his Wasps debut until a fortnight before Christmas, and an eventful afternoon at the Ricoh Arena also saw him receive a yellow card for a high tackle.Wasps, though, kept their collective composure as number eight Nathan Hughes, skipper Joe Launchbury and wing Josh Bassett followed Beales try-scoring example, while fly-half Jimmy Gopperth kicked two penalties and three conversions to underpin a 32-17 victory ahead of next weeks Pool Two return fixture in Galway.Wasps claimed a try-scoring bonus and moved three points clear of Connacht and four above Toulouse, although they were given a stern test by their opponents for large parts of an entertaining contest.Scrum-half Kieran Marmion and substitute Rory Parata scored tries for the visitors, with fly-half Jack Carty converting both Connacht touchdowns and kicking a penalty, and despite the defeat, last seasons Guinness PRO12 champions remain firmly in the quarter-final mix.Beales introduction apart, Wasps also welcomed back Launchbury from a two-week ban, while fit-again Gopperth and wing Christian Wade featured behind the scrum.Fly-half Danny Cipriani remained absent due to a calf muscle injury suffered before last weekends Aviva Premiership game against Worcester.Lock Ultan Dillane featured in Connachts line-up for the first time since Irelands successful autumn campaign, with his fellow international Niyi Adeolokun also featuring on the wing and half-backs Carty and Marmion being reunited.Connacht, eighth in the PRO12 but a point clear before kick-off as leaders of their Champions Cup group, made the initial running, puttiing Wasps under pressure through a series of forward-led drives, only for Hughes to lead a strong counter-attack as the game matched early expectations.ddddddddddddAnd Wasps were in no mood to let the opportunity go astray as they pounded away at Connachts line before slick passing saw Beale touch down for a try that Gopperth converted for a 7-0 lead.An eventful afternoon then continued for Beale when he was sin-binned - probably harshly - by French referee Alexandre Ruiz for a high tackle on Adeolokun after the Connacht player appeared to duck into the challenge, and Cartys resulting penalty cut the deficit, before a Gopperth strike made it 10-3.But Connacht continued to test Wasps defensive awareness, and they were undone after 24 minutes when Marmion spotted a considerable gap around the forward fringes and sprinted clear to score an opportunist try that Carty converted to tie up an enthralling encounter.Beale then rejoined the action, yet Connacht had inflicted considerable damage during his temporary absence, scoring 10 points and giving Wasps plenty to think about as a fast and furious battle continued at pace.Gopperth then kicked a penalty as half-time approached, and Wasps led 13-10 at the interval.And the second period began in breathless fashion as each side scored a converted try within five minutes, with Hughes close-range effort being cancelled out by an interception touchdown from Connacht replacement Parata that Carty converted.Wasps were being tested defensively, but after they had a let-off when Carty missed a penalty, the home side struck in style when Launchbury powered over on a 20-metre surge for a try that saw Gopperth maintain his 100 per cent strike-rate by converting.Connacht could find no way back this time, and Wasps sealed the deal eight minutes from time when Beales pass sent an unmarked Bassett over to secure a five-point maximum.
