Less than 24 hours after finishing fifth in the 200-meter individual medley -- a race billed as the final head-to-head showdown between him and Michael Phelps -- 12-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte opened the door for future Olympic races between the two most decorated swimmers in history.He said hes going to retire after 2012, and I was the only one that said hed come back, Lochte said in a news conference Friday afternoon in Rio. And I think hes coming back again. He loves that excitement, loves that challenge on the block against seven swimmers. I think with a different purpose, hes going to come back and push his limits. Ill be back and I want him back because we push each other. USA needs this. Hes been the backbone.However, Phelps shut the door again after he won silver in the 100-meter butterfly Friday night, saying, I am not gonna be competing in four years.Phelps will be 35 in 2020, when the Tokyo Olympics will be held. Lochte will be 36. When asked if Lochte believed he would be the best in the world had Phelps been born in another era, Lochte said sometimes.But sometimes I dont. I dont want to be the Michael Phelps. I want to be the Ryan Lochte, he said. I do the hair, the grills, the shoes, thats me. Michael is an amazing ambassador of the game. Hes like a Michael Jordan. Im just being me. I dont know if Id be in this position if it wasnt for him.Before answering the inevitable questions about his dating life and the current color of his hair, Lochte also praised 19-year-old U.S. teammate Katie Ledecky, who already had won three gold medals in Rio before setting a world record in the 800-meter freestyle Friday night, calling her a phenom.She is going to beat my times on long-distance races and thats crazy, he said. Shes so young and determined and loves the sport. She is going to keep breaking records, no doubt she will.Authentic Custom Ravens Jersey . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville.

(Olympic soccer players must be 23 and younger.)However, Rogerio Micales side have drawn both their opening group games 0-0, the first against 10-man South Africa and the second against Iraq. They must now beat Denmark on Wednesday to avoid an early exit.Neymars on- and off-the-field behaviour has brought criticism in the past?from retired Selecao legends doubting he deserved to skipper the senior national team.Former star Zico, who played in the 1980s, told Globoesporte?that the 24-year-old was not showing the leadership and focus required to be a captain.The captain of our team is not up to being captain, Zico said. He must worry just about football. But, just the opposite, they just started complaining that Iraq were wasting time. They needed to play football.Zico said that after the Selecaos early Copa America Centenario group exit and the 2014 World Cup semifinal humiliation by Germany on home soil, he feared something similar was about to happen now at the Olympics.ddddddddddddExit would be an embarrassment for those representing Brazilian football, he said. But in recent years, such embarrassment has happened a lot in Brazilian football. This would be another.Issues deep in the Brazilian game were a problem, Zico said, while adding that in the past, big stars had been able to come up with something big to win a game.Nobody can work magic in two weeks, and the Brazil team always comes together at the last moment, he said. There is no team organisation. And neither can we count on those beasts who used to decide games.Zico said the team still can turn things around, though, as there is no outstanding side in the tournament.I believe that Brazil will beat Denmark and can take the gold medal, he said. There is no team here which is dominating.Ahead of the make-or-break game against Denmark, with criticism of Neymar rising in his home country, Brazil coach Micale told ESPN that people should remember the senior star had made an effort to play in the tournament as an over-age player.If we do not respect our stars, then they will not want to be with us, Micale said. Neymar wanted to represent his national team. ' ' '
