Der Fremde » I think the best thing about it was

With 24 bookings in two-and-a-bit seasons, moody Chelsea striker Diego Costa is used to living on the edge in English football.And nowhere is his brittle temperament seemingly put to the test more than in matches against Liverpool.A stamp on Emre Can that earned Costa a retrospective three-match ban. The numerous bust-ups with Martin Skrtel. The forehead-on-forehead confrontation with Steven Gerrard. It doesnt take much to rile Costa but theres something about Liverpool that really fires up the often-pilloried Spain international.So expect plenty of scrutiny on Costa when the two teams meet in the latest Friday-night fixture in the English Premier League, which is the highlight of the fifth round of games.The debate is on regarding Costa: Will he finish the season with more goals than yellow cards? Its a close-run thing at the moment.He is back to his best in front of goal, netting four goals in four games in Chelseas unbeaten start to the league campaign that has seen the team earn 10 points from a possible 12. In the 2-2 draw against Swansea on Sunday, Costa scored both of Chelseas goals and was almost impossible to keep down.Costa is also keeping match officials busy by getting three yellow cards, and ran the risk of seeing those turn into red with a studs-first challenge against West Ham and by throwing himself theatrically to the ground against Watford and Swansea.Costa, put simply, is never far from a flashpoint.If you are in a friendly-game mood then you have no chance, Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said of Costa. He is a real warrior on the pitch.Theres rarely a news conference with Chelsea manager Antonio Conte that doesnt involve a line of questioning on Costa. Conte says the striker is targeted -- and it is easy to see why given Costas inability to resist reacting to goading by opposition players.Diego is growing in these situations -- in the last game he showed great attitude, Conte said Thursday. He is passionate but I?want him to put his passion into the football in the right way.Its one of the many subplots in what could be a thrilling game under the Stamford Bridge lights, considering the start to the season made by Chelsea and Liverpool.Liverpool has scored four goals in each of its wins over both Arsenal and Leicester, and also gained a point from a draw at Tottenham. Aside from a disappointing 2-0 loss at Burnley, Klopps side has been impressive -- especially the fluid forward line of Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and new signing Sadio Mane.Only Manchester City, which has won all four of its games, has more points than Chelsea so far this season.And if Costa shows passion on the field, Klopp and Conte are possibly the most animated Premier League coaches on the touchline. Like in last weekends Manchester derby when Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho went head to head, there could be as much focus on the coaches technical area as on the field at Stamford Bridge.Here are some other things to watch out for this weekend:---LUIZ STARTSDavid Luiz will make his first appearance in his second spell at Chelsea after Conte confirmed Thursday that the Brazilian will replace injured John Terry at center back.Terry hurt his ankle against Swansea and was ruled out for 10 days.Luiz was signed from Paris Saint-Germain for a reported 32 million pounds ($42 million) on the final day of the transfer window, about 20 million pounds less than Chelsea sold him to PSG for in 2014.---CITYS RUNMan City puts its winning start to the season on the line at home to Bournemouth, having taken its run of successive victories to seven by beating Borussia Moenchengladbach 4-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday.Pep Guardiola still hasnt tasted defeat as City manager.After his hat trick against Moenchengladbach, Sergio Aguero drops out of the team for Saturdays match. He is serving the second match of a three-game domestic suspension for elbowing an opponent.---OTHER GAMESManchester United manager Jose Mourinho will hope a Europa League match at Feyenoord on Thursday doesnt take too much out of the team for a Premier League match at Watford on Sunday.Also Sunday, its: Tottenham vs. Sunderland; Crystal Palace vs. Stoke; and Southampton vs. Swansea.On Saturday, its: Hull vs. Arsenal; Leicester vs. Burnley; West Bromwich Albion vs. West Ham; and Everton vs. Middlesbrough.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- ?Team USA womens star Diana Taurasi was in the stands Wednesday night for the U.S. mens scare against Australia, and she is convinced the near-loss will benefit her male counterparts in their quest for gold.You know what? Taurasi said as both U.S. teams prepared to return to group play Friday. Those are the games that make you better in the long run.The men face Milos Teodosic-led Serbia on Friday night in a rematch of the 2014 FIBA World Cup final. The Mike Krzyzewski-coached Americans have won 71 games in a row internationally, including 48 in FIBA competition, but they trailed Australia by five points at halftime and didnt gain any meaningful separation until the final 30 seconds of an eventual 98-88 win.The U.S. women were watching in the crowd, just a few hours after a record-setting performance from Taurasi against Serbia stretched the ladies win streak to 35 games in official FIBA play.Its safe to say no team understands the pressure shouldered by the Team USA men better than Taurasi and her teammates, since both teams are not only expected to win every time they step onto the court, but win handily.We all have em in stretches, Taurasi said of the Australia scare. Its good that they had it early. You know they played a really good team. Australia has five [NBA] pros. They play hard. And it was all the European things that youre not used to. The calls. The flopping. The calls that in the NBA you get [but] you dont get in international play.Its just experience and you put it in the bank. And down the line theyre going to benefit from that.Taurasi added: We lost a game like that in Brazil 10 years ago where we didnt overcome that stuff and Russia beat us, and we got third place in the World Championship. Weve been in that place. Theirs happened in ppool play.dddddddddddd And they still got the win, so I think thatll help em down the line.The Americans needed a massive game from Carmelo Anthony to escape the stubborn Aussies. Anthony finished with 31 points -- including nine 3-pointers -- and combined with Kyrie Irving to score 26 of Team USAs 28 points in the fourth quarter. The U.S. defense also improved dramatically after surrendering an uncharacteristic 54 points in the first half.I think the best thing about it was, there was no panic meter, swingman Paul George?said. There was no one in the locker room nipping at each other. There was no thought of defeat.Said forward Draymond Green: I dont think there was any point that anyone felt we were gonna lose the game. But in saying that, were not saying, Oh, were invincible. ... I think it also gave us kind of a feel of what a medal-round game would be like.Friday marks the first Olympic meeting between the U.S. men and Serbia, which features only one NBA player: Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic. But Serbian center Miroslav Raduljica has played in the league, and guard Bogdan Bogdanovics rights were recently acquired by the Sacramento Kings in a draft-day trade with Phoenix.The Serbians (1-2) are coming off a one-point loss to France on a late Tony Parker basket, and they lost by 15 points to Australia after opening the Olympics with a 24-point rout of Venezuela. Team USA (3-0) won the teams last meeting in the World Cup by 37 points after falling into an early five-point deficit.As for the sky-high expectations of both USA Basketball teams, Taurasi said: Id rather be on this team than the other [team]. Thats a pressure that we relish. ' ' '
