LONDON -- From unsuitable hotels to wildly varying weather conditions and lengthy flights, England coach Roy Hodgson is expecting logistical problems at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Jerry Hughes Jersey . With qualifying starting next month, Hodgson is worried about the facilities after visiting potential bases in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte. "Its a vast country. I dont think we realize quite how vast," Hodgson said Friday. "Theres going to be enormous difficulties for the teams that qualify, according to where theyre drawn." The 64 matches will take place across 12 cities in Brazil, with some flights taking six hours, and organizers want to ensure most teams play across the country. "There are going to be enormous logistical problems. The major problem at the moment is that the local organizing committee and the management of FIFA havent yet come to a definite decision which training ground will be paired with which hotel," Hodgson said. "You dont really want to be necessarily choosing a hotel with a training venue you dont like and vice-versa. "The type of hotels that youre likely to stay in wont be the sort of hotels that national teams like to stay in, where you can essentially commandeer a hotel and fashion it to your requirements. Itll be very difficult to get the type of privacy that national teams prefer, if they can get it, when they go to major tournaments." FIFA had previously suggested it would learn from logistical issues in South Africa in 2010 by basing each four-team group in one of four areas to minimize the strain of moving players, fans and officials. In an apparent reversal, FIFA decided that teams will travel across the vast country as they did in 2010. Eight teams will travel to the isolated Amazon city of Manaus. Organizers believe the schedule is fairer to teams. They will experience a range of conditions in the southern hemisphere winter -- from the warm north of Brazil to the cool south and humid inland cities versus temperate coastal venues. "If youre down in Porto Alegre, youll going to need a fur coat because it snows and temperatures reach single figures, certainly, and maybe even sometimes lower," Hodgson said. "And if you find yourself in Manaus, then you wont be sunbathing but you will find 45, 50 degrees (Celcius) of heat and plenty of mosquitoes as well being near the Amazon jungle." But Hodgson said staging the World Cup in the home of a major footballing power will add "spice." "Its a country which is totally dominated by football," he said. "Theyre also known, of course, for their carnivals and their party atmosphere, which Im sure wont be something which supporters would find too daunting. "People are going to be a lot keener to go to Brazil than perhaps some other countries that are occasionally chosen to be World Cup venues." Pat Angerer Jersey . Fraser, 25, split the 2011-12 AHL season between the Toronto Marlies and Syracuse Crunch, tallying seven assists, a plus-15 rating and 67 penalty minutes in 45 games.

It turned out the same way it did a week earlier in Martinsville.

Anaheim Ducks forward Bobby Ryan told a New Jersey newspaper that he is not planning to sign a deal to play in the KHL or any of the other leagues that continue to play during the NHL lockout. "Im going to continue to skate with the guys," Ryan told the New Jersey Courier-Post. "Whether its coming back here (to South Jersey) for a couple weeks at a time. I think its important to stay here (in the United States) and be part of the solution and not just run from it. Authentic Pat Angerer Jersey. " The Cherry Hill, New Jersey native does not believe that continuing to play while others are sitting out is the way to deal with business during the work stoppage. "Im going to handle things the way I think things should be handled," said Ryan. The 25-year-old forward had 31 goals and 57 points last season for the Ducks, his fifth season in the NHL. Goaltender Viktor Fasth and defenceman Luca Sbisa are currently the only members of the Ducks that have signed contracts with European squads. ' ' '
