Renata did not expect her sons success with the Foxes, but said she did not miss a match as the dramatic campaign unfolded.At the final whistle I burst into tears. I only heard from Claudio later because my grandchildren and my sons cousins called. He was so happy. We all are. Now we can finally relax, she told Italian newspaper La Repubblica. Leicesters Premier League success has got PGA golfers talking - but pronunciation is a problem! I watched every game; it was a continual series of emotions. He calls me every evening and kept me up to date on everything. This morning I bought the sports papers and saw the headlines. It was satisfying.I have to admit, I did not expect him to win with Leicester. He found these players … they are good lads. He told me they always trained as real professionals.

Full steam ahead Claudio Ranieri says Leicester will not be taking it easy My son has to keep himself in shape, so he rarely asks for a starter. He talked about Leicester a bit, but wanted to relax.He was with me for two hours, then said the president of his team had organised a plane to take him back to England.

"We woke up today just worried about making sure that we made the playoffs," Koe said. "We lose that game and we could be in a tiebreaker or something. The big thing was just to win and get in the playoffs and if we were in the 3-4 game, that was fine with us. Weve done it before. "But to get in the 1-2 game with an extra life, thats a bonus for sure." The winner of Saturdays 1-2 game will advance straight to Sundays final. The loser will play the winner of the 3-4 Page Playoff game in the semifinal. The semifinal winner will play for gold and the loser will fall into the bronze-medal game against the 3-4 loser. Koe built a big early lead in the opening game after German fourth Felix Schulze crashed his last stone on a guard in the second end. That gave Canada a steal of four and Koe added four more points in the fourth end to put the game out of reach. In the afternoon draw, Scotland was out of playoff contention but still gave Koe a tough test. The veteran skip took the lead for the first time in the sixth end with a draw for two points. He sealed the win with a runback double takeout in the 10th end. "It seems like all of our games, either weve won easy or lost easy," Koe said. "So its good for us to have a battle, tied up or close the whole way through, and to pull it out with a shot in the 10th feels good."

"We havent always been at our best. If we can find our A game in the playoffs, I like our chances. And even if we keep playing the way we are, were kind of used to it. Im looking forward (to Saturday). "Theyre a great team and obviously theyve had a great week. I dont think the first time we played them that the score was indicative of the way the game was played, just a couple of missed line calls and it could have been anybodys game. "But I like our chances." Canada has won gold at this event in three of the last four years and has qualified for the championship game in each of the last nine years. ' ' '
