LONDON -- The English Football Association is facing a no-confidence vote in the House of Commons and the enforced overhaul of decision-making functions dominated by elderly men. Sergio Aguero Argentina Jersey . British legislators made the announcement after being told by former FA leaders that the governing bodys failure to challenge the financial might of the Premier League contributes to the England teams embarrassing failures.In a letter to the parliamentary committee overseeing sport, five ex-FA executives called for the appointment of a football regulator to modernize their former employer and make it more representative of modern society. The committees head said he is planning to introduce legislation to impose governance reforms on the FA.The FA is coming under attack from former executives and legislators while trying to grapple with the biggest crisis in its 153-year history over past sexual abuse of youth team players. The FAs limited response when allegations first surfaced against coaches and clubs in the 1990s is subject of an internal review, while police forces across the country have opened investigations.The England national team has also gone through a year of turmoil, with a loss to unfancied Iceland in the round of 16 at the European Championship leading to the departure of manager Roy Hodgson. Successor Sam Allardyce was then forced out after one game over unguarded comments to journalists posing as businessmen, and Gareth Southgate was hired in the continuing quest to produce the countrys first trophy since the 1966 World Cup.The lack of success on the international stage is in part a result of governance failings within the FA, according to Greg Dyke, David Bernstein and David Triesman, the past three FA chairmen, ex-general secretary Alex Horne and former executive director David Davies.In their letter to legislators, the quintet expressed hope that the woeful lack of English players or managers and the embarrassing failures of our national team for the past 50 years is redressed by changes to decision-making bodies.They complain that the Premier League holds too much sway over English football due to their financial might and the way financial contributions are wielded at every turn to assert beneficial positions. The FA has little oversight of the worlds richest soccer competition, which was the result of a 1992 breakaway from the Football League by leading clubs.It is little wonder that English football is out of balance, wrote Dyke, Bernstein, Triesman, Horne and Davies. The FA has neither the modernity of approach nor independence required to counter the EPL juggernaut, or to modernize its own governance.They highlight how those in senior positions in FA structures are by a significant majority, white, elderly men and collectively unrepresentative of English society and English football in 2016.Those concerns are shared by Damian Collins, chairman of the culture, media and sport committee, who said he wants the FA Council to have a more inclusive membership and term limits of 10 years.There is currently no effective governing body for football in England that is capable of responding to the challenges that face the modern game, Collins said, outlining plans for a parliamentary vote expressing no confidence in the FA.The committee is working with the parliamentary authorities to prepare a draft bill to deliver the necessary reform to the structure of the FA.Such a move could flout FIFAs rules banning any form of political interference in federations.The FA insisted that it was currently working on governance reforms. In a sign of the tensions within the English game, the Premier League said the FA had failed to deliver reforms and trumpeted its own investment in facilities. Facundo Roncaglia Jersey . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. Mariano Andujar Jersey .

The Colorado Buffaloes have strived to become relevant on the national stage since Tad Boyle became coach six years ago.They have a great chance to become part of the conversation when they host No. 13 Xavier at the Coors Events Center on Wednesday at Boulder, Colo.The Musketeers (7-1) are Colorados second ranked opponent on its non-conference schedule, and a win Wednesday would give it a sweep of those teams.The Buffaloes beat Texas, then No. 22, 68-54 in the consolation game of The Legends Classic in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Nov. 22. The Musketeers give them another chance at a resume win as the teams start a home-and-home series, with next years matchup set for Cincinnati.When I think of Xavier basketball, the first thing that comes to my mind is the toughness. Theyve got great toughness, Boyle told the Boulder Daily Camera. Theyve got really good players and theyre very well coached. Xavier doesnt beat themselves, you have to go beat them. We have to be ready for a street fight.Both teams are trying to put disappointing losses behind. Colorado (6-2) lost to in-state rival Colorado State last week to snap a 12-game home winning streak but bounced back to beat Portland 76-63.Xavier dropped its only true road game at No. 4 Baylor.The Musketeers played arguably their best half of basketball when they took a 34-31 lead at intermission against the Bears. They followed that up with a bad second half and lost 76-61.Turnovers were an issue in that game, and coach Chris Mack told the Cincinnati Enquirer that he talked to his players about the missed opportunity in Waco, Texas.Im sure (the players) felt some positives. I didnt necessarily show them a lot of the positives, Mack told the Enquirer. I think everybody in the world always wants to give thee sugar-coated version. Jonathan Maidana Argentina Jersey. I gave our guys reality, and that was what we got away from in the second half really hurt us and we didnt have an ability to stop the momentum.

He and RaShid Gaston, lead Xavier in rebounding at 6.3 rebounds a game. Xavier has three players averaging at least 15 points.It will be a tough task to beat Colorado on the glass. The Buffaloes outrebound opponents by nine a game and are third in the Pac-12 in rebounding margin. They are led by Xavier Johnson, who is averaging a team-best 14.4 points and 6.3 rebounds.Senior Derrick White is Colorados do-all player, averaging 14 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.(Colorado is) a team that really takes a lot of pride on the offensive glass, Mack told the Enquirer. They might be one of the best offensive rebounding teams weve faced all year.The Buffaloes are facing a team that crashes the boards. Xavier is also outrebounding opponents by nine per game and ranks 12th nationally in rebounding margin at 10.6.It comes down to strength against strength, and Colorado is hoping its home court will be a difference maker.Its going to be a heck of a challenge, Boyle told the Daily Camera. Nothing against Portland, but this is a little different animal than the Portland Pilots in terms of their personnel. Portland is well-coached. Xavier is well-coached and theyve got some dudes who can rip your head off if youre not ready to play.
