PORTLAND, Ore. -- Lynn Williams scored twice in overtime and the Western New York Flash beat the Portland Thorns 4-3 on Sunday for a spot in the National Womens Soccer League championship game.The Flash will play the Washington Spirit for the league title next Sunday in Houston. The Spirit beat the Chicago Red Stars 2-1 in overtime in the other semifinal Friday night.We talked about an opportunity to write a great story, Flash coach Paul Riley said. And this is a great story of a young team. Everyone had us in the ninth place of 10th place at the start of the season.Emily Sonnett scored the equalizer for the Thorns in the 78th minute. The Flash led 2-1 at the half after goals from Samantha Mewis and Makenzy Doniak. Christine Sinclairs goal narrowed it for Portland in the 115th minute.Williams, who won the leagues Golden Boot award for most goals in the regular season, scored in the 98th and 103rd minutes after a 2-2 draw in regulation. Lindsey Horan added a goal for the Thorns in the 115th minute to narrow the gap but Portland couldnt catch up in front of a home crowd of 20,086 fans.Riley, who was the Thorns coach in 2014 and 2015, was ejected in the 40th minute after an interaction with the referees.After a goal in the 16th minute from Flash midfielder Mewis, an alternate for the U.S national team, and another from Doniak in the 38th, Portland found themselves in a 2-0 hole.But less than a minute after Doniaks goal, Sinclair put the Thorns on the board and celebrated with an authoritative first pump.Sonnetts equalizer in the 78th minute brought life back to the crowd and sparked some momentum from Portland, which won the inaugural championship in 2013.Post-game, Thorns head coach Mark Parsons said that the loss is still sinking in but in about three hours, after having had a cup of tea, he will sit down and start watching the game tape and identify what the team needs to work on in the off season.I think when (the loss) sinks in, we have to continue what weve done, Parsons said. We attack each day with everything weve got to make sure we support these players and support this club to continue to move forward.Riley chose not to comment on the ejection after the game and does not know whether or not he will be allowed to coach the Flash during the championship game.The standard of coming in here and winning it here is unbelievable, Flash coach Paul Riley said. The fact is that (the Thorns) are that good, I mean that midfield is top-notch. And its important that Portland does well. I think for our league its important that Portland does well. I would vote to give them a home game every year. Just give it to them. I think its fantastic for our team to come here and get this experience.The Thorns finished out the regular season with a four-game winning streak and claimed the NWSL Shield for the team with the best record. They also clinched home-field advantage in the playoffs for the first time.Portland is the third team in league history to allow an average of less than one goal per game over the course of the regular season and the Flash are just the third team to average at least two goals a game.Sinclair won the bronze medal at the Olympic with the Canadian national team. The Thorns loaded roster also included U.S. Olympians Tobin Heath, Lindsey Horan, Meghan Klingenberg, Allie Long and alternation Emily Sonnett. Amandine Henry played for France in Brazil.We clawed back but dug ourselves a little bit too big of a hole in extra time, Sinclair said. Its tough. Everywhere else in the world with soccer if you win the league you win the league. Whereas I think its unique in North America where playoffs are the big thing and it makes it interesting. Soccer is a funny game. Anyone can give anyone on any given day and you saw that today. Yeezy Boost 700 v3 Cheap .

By the time he left motorsports, his reputation for bravery, speed and muscular driving had firmly taken root.People were in awe of him even then, how brave he was, what a crazy fast driver this guy from Finland was, said Stefan Johansson, who became friends with Rosberg at that shop and would grow up to race against him in Formula One in the 1980s.Rosberg would end his career regarded as a one of F1s great swashbucklers, a hard-charging, speed-seeking thrill master who won the 1982 championship. Now his son Nico is on the verge of matching his fathers title, but with none of his flair. Even as he piles up wins, the younger Rosberg has been called boring, bland and even bad for F1s efforts to attract new fans.Nico Rosberg doesnt care, so long as his critics call him champion after this season.Im here to win races and not to please everybody thats out there, Nico Rosberg said ahead of Sundays Mexican Grand Prix, where he leads Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton by 26 points with three races left.With his bushy mustache and bruising driving, Keke Rosberg was a crowd pleaser in an era when the Formula One was far more dangerous. Over the course of his F1 career from 1978 to 1986, five drivers were killed, including two in 1982 when Rosberg won his championship. His qualifying laps at the 1985 British Grand Prix at Silverstone remain stuff of legend. He was already secure in in the pole position and returned to the track after a spell of rain to go even faster, averaging more than 160 mph, a previously unattainable speed.I got carried away, and that shouldnt be the case if you want to survive, Rosberg later said . It was probably one of the few occasions when I felt I had lost my self-control ... I should have stayed in the garage but sheer enjoyment overtook professionalism.Johansson, who raced against him for five years, said Keke Rosberg epitomized what auto racing was all about at a time it was more bravery than technique. In the rain, he was spectacularly fast.Comparing father and son as drivers is difficult.Nico Rosberg drives in an era when safety has been dramatically improved and tracks have been tamed with chicanes designed to slow cars into turns deemed too dangerous. When Formula One returned to Mexico Citys Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in 2015 after 23 years, designerrs had eliminated the notorious Peraltada corner, long regarded as one of the most fearsome in the sport.ddddddddddddA lot of those elements arent essential anymore. Nico is clearly one of the top drivers in the world. I think maybe he doesnt project the same bravado and the same sort of gutsy approach as his father, Johansson said.The past three seasons of the V6-turbo hybrid engines saw Formula One turn its back the screeching engines of the past for the quieter, low growl of modern technology. Mercedes has so dominated the series with those engines that more often than not, Rosberg is essentially just racing Hamilton as those two are so far out in front. Keke Rosberg won his title in a year a handful of drivers, including Alain Prost and Niki Lauda, could have won it.And unlike his father, Nico Rosberg leads a quieter family life. He even grows and eats his own vegetables.(Keke) enjoyed a very good drink, and also a good cigarette, former world champion driver Jackie Stewart said. Nico is much more disciplined with his regime of fitness and so forth. Hes a modern man.To some, that equals boring.Last week in Texas, Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, bemoaned a potential Rosberg title.If Nico won the title, it would be good for him and good for Mercedes, but it wouldnt necessarily help the sport because there is nothing to write about him, said Ecclestone, who has been known to jab at past champions as well.Rosberg has lived in Hamiltons considerable social media shadow the last two years, but his drive toward a championship has been clinical. Perhaps most important has been his mental approach in not letting the bickering rivalry with his teammate frustrate him on the track.Rosberg is one victory shy of becoming just the fourth driver to win 10 races in a single season. Hes been so methodical in piling up points that he can win the title with two second-place finishes and a third over the final three races.That wouldnt be exciting, but it would be good enough to match his father and in some ways surpass him. Keke Rosberg won only one grand prix in his championship season.(Nico) has won many more grand prix but has not won the world championship yet, Stewart said. It would be a nice thing to have. I would like to see him win it.---More AP auto racing: www.racing.ap.org ' ' '
