Tossed up as a shock Kangaroos selection contender, Penrith veteran Peter Wallace aims to be at the Four Nations tournament in England one way or another.The revitalised Wallace is set to cap an excellent NRL season after putting his hand up for Scotland in their Four Nations debut next month, three years after representing the Bravehearts in the 2013 World Cup.Ive spoken to the coach, Steve McCormack, and said Im available. But Ill obviously have to wait and see when we finish up and see how were going, Wallace told AAP.However Wallace revealed his decision would also hinge on whether he gets a phone call from Australia coach Mal Meninga, who is likely to seek a back-up for hooker Cameron Smith.With incumbent NSW State of Origin rake Robbie Farah currently without a club and Cronulla rival Michael Ennis retiring at the end of the year, Wallace has been mentioned as a possible understudy to Smith.Sydney Roosters skipper Jake Friend, Brisbane No.9 Andrew McCullough and North Queensland counterpart Jake Granville are other options.Meninga could also experiment with throwing Broncos halfback Ben Hunt or Roosters playmaker Mitchell Pearce in as a makeshift hooker.But Penrith-born Wallace has played a critical role in the Panthers charge to the finals following his late career-shift from halfback to hooker, and was rewarded with a two-year contract extension in July.And should he top it all off by pulling on the green and gold, Wallace couldnt say no.Obviously Scotlands my heritage, but Australia is my country. If I got the opportunity to play for Australia, obviously Id have to go in that direction, he said.The 30-year-old qualifies for Scotland through his grandmother, and could join a squad that would also boast current NRL players Luke Douglas, Kane Linnett and Ian Henderson.Obviously rugby leagues not very big over there and the team they played in the European tour had a lot of locals. Just to get into Four Nations is a great achievement, he said.Itd be nice to beat England. Thats the main goal. Nike Air Max Motion Canada . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J.

BRASILIA, Brazil -- After a disappointing start at the Olympics, Brazil is preparing to play without the support of the home crowd.The Brazilian soccer team was loudly booed in the 0-0 draw against South Africa in the opener, and another disappointing performance against Iraq on Sunday will certainly lead to more jeers from the demanding fans in Brasilia.Brazil coach Rogerio Micale said the players will have to find a way to deal with the hostile environment if the team struggles again.If there are boos again, we will have to pretend that we are playing away from home, play as if we were playing in a stadium with rival fans, Micale said Saturday. We cant be affected by that if it happens.Brazil is favored to win the Olympic tournament thanks to a talented team led by Barcelona striker Neymar, and fans will not be satisfied with anything other than the gold medal -- the only significant trophy Brazil has never won in soccer.Micale said the best way to keep the fans from turning against the team is to get off to a strong start against Iraq at the Mane Garrincha Stadium, which again is expected to pack in more than 60,000 fans.It would be ideal to score early, Micale said. But the players cant forget that we have 90 minutes to earn the victory, which is the most important thing for us right now. We have to stay calm. The opponent knows that we are unnder pressure and they can use that against us.dddddddddddd.Iraq coach Abdulghani Alghazali said his team can take advantage of Brazils difficult moment.This pressure certainly is a weapon that can be used, he said through a translator.Brazil defensive midfielder Thiago Maia said its natural for the crowd to be unsatisfied with Brazils struggles.The fans come to the stadium to see goals and victories, he said. We understand them, football is like that. Hopefully in this next game the ball will go in and we can get the victory.Brazil created numerous scoring opportunities against South Africa but was not able to capitalize on them, even after the Africans went down a man because of a red card in the 59th minute.The first game is always complicated because of the nerves and the anxiety, Micale said. But that moment has passed. I think the team will be a bit looser on the field tomorrow and will give a positive response to the fans.Iraq and Denmark also drew 0-0 in their first game, leaving all teams tied going into Sundays matches. South Africa will play Denmark in the first game of the doubleheader.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni. His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/tales-azzoni ' ' '
