MONTREAL -- Soccers world body struck a blow against Quebecs turban ban Friday, saying such headwear is perfectly acceptable on the pitch for now. The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) said in a statement it is temporarily authorizing the wearing of male head covers at all levels of Canadian soccer. It is effectively applying a 2012 ruling that allowed specially designed hijabs for women. The statement outlines certain rules for allowing the male headwear on the pitch. "(FIFA) authorizes the CSA to permit all players to wear head covers ... in all areas and on all levels of the Canadian football community," FIFA said. FIFAs position came four days after the Canadian Soccer Association suspended Quebecs soccer federation because the provincial body banned Sikh headwear. The move risked turning Quebec into a soccer pariah, with players in the province isolated from national and interprovincial competition. The Quebec organization had cited safety issues for its decision and the fact the garments were not endorsed by FIFA. FIFA responded that the head coverings are allowed -- on a trial basis and just for the time being. The issue will be discussed in October by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), which determines the rules of the game, and a final decision is expected in March 2014. The Quebec Soccer Federation said Friday it welcomed the news "with enthusiasm and relief." It said it had been waiting for clear instructions from FIFA. However, the Quebec body has not said exactly what it will do next. It is to hold a news conference Saturday morning and issue a ruling with respect to the "lifting of the ban." The impact of the spat has already been felt. This weekend, at least 20 out-of-province teams are skipping a tournament in Montreal. Some players in Quebec leagues have also decided to wear turbans in protest of the ban. That ban had the support of the Parti Quebecois government and some sovereigntists have even used the case as an argument for Quebec independence. However, many federal politicians opposed the ban and applauded the CSA suspension -- with the Conservatives and Liberals being the most forceful. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair had also written to FIFA, seeking clarification and expressing his hope children would be allowed to play. In Ottawa, Sports Minister Bal Gosal said he was optimistic FIFAs statement could help end the stalemate. "I am optimistic this development will help the CSA and the Quebec Soccer Federation pursue their discussions and resolve the current situation very soon, so all Canadians, especially the children, can get back on the field continue to play the game," Gosal said in a statement. There are certain guidelines regarding the headgear. FIFA outlined the details in a letter to the Canadian Soccer Association, dated Thursday. According to FIFA, the headcover must be the same colour as the jersey; must keep with the professional appearance of the players equipment; and must not be attached to a jersey or pose any danger to the player wearing it. The World Sikh Organization welcomed FIFAs declaration. "Its been our position from the outset that the accommodation of the turban shouldnt hinge on FIFA rules but instead on the Canadian tradition of diversity and acceptance and also on Canadian rules and law," said spokesman Balpreet Singh. "This announcement is certainly good news. Its absolutely clear now that any restriction on the wearing of the turban is illegitimate and were hopeful the Quebec Soccer Federation will now immediately lift its ban. "The children should really be allowed to play as soon as possible." A pro-turban community event planned for Montreal on Saturday will go ahead as scheduled, albeit under a different tone given Fridays announcement. Mukhbir Singh, vice-president for Quebec and the Atlantic region for the World Sikh Organization, says hes thankful for FIFAs stance. He said the public support has been uplifting and refreshing. Singh, 25, a Montreal soccer player who has also been forced off the pitch, said he hopes the Quebec federation moves quickly to change its position. "Whoever is affected by these recent developments, I hope they are all back on the field and no one misses another soccer game," Singh said. The community event in the citys west end will go on as scheduled. "Our goal was to rally together in a positive manner, to open a dialogue with the community," Singh said. "We didnt want it to be a protest or a statement, we want it to be a positive event where we could explain that Sikhs are part of Quebec, we speak French and English and weve been here for a very long time. "The fact is were just like everyone else." Other soccer associations from outside Quebec welcomed the FIFA directive. Quebec was the only province to not abide by a Canadian Soccer Association to permit turbans on the pitch. "We should not be barring any person from participating in sport, we have to find a way to be more inclusive ... we have to find a way of bringing more people into the sport," said Lucille Abate, president of York region soccer association, a Toronto-area organization with a total of 25 teams and roughly 55,000 members. Abate said her association supported the suspension of the Quebec branch. "Discrimination of any sort wont be tolerated, it shouldnt be tolerated in sports," she said. Political reaction from Quebecs three major parties was mixed, with the PQ saying FIFAs intervention demonstrated that the Quebec Soccer Federation was in the right to ban turbans while awaiting a clear response. Premier Pauline Marois said the final decision remains the Quebec bodys prerogative, but she said the coverage of the issue that painted Quebecers as racist and intolerant was "disgraceful." "I believe that Quebec society is welcoming, that wants to integrate all of those that want to participate in its values and participate in this reality that we represent collectively which accepts differences but also shares common values," she said. The Coaltion for Quebecs Future says that regardless of the FIFA decision, the final call should be the Quebec federations. "What I said since the beginning, since Day 1 is the same: the Quebec federation should decide, and well approve what they will decide, thats it," said Leader Francois Legault. Liberal Leader Philippe Couillard said that it was important to properly classify the debate. "This wasnt a debate on religious neutrality of the state or on reasonable accommodation, it was a debate on sport," Couillard said. "Our position on that was let the kids play together." Couillard, who has a background in medicine, said if player safety is truly at question, then it needs to be proven and examined over an extended period. - with files from Peter Rakobowchuk Schuhe Günstig Kaufen .

The last time LSU beat Alabama it was billed as The Game of the Century.The date was Nov. 5, 2011. The site was Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. LSU was ranked No. 1. Alabama was No. 2. It was a prime-time game on CBS. On the drama scale it was SEC football at its finest.So good, in fact, that the game went into overtime. Alabama failed to score on its first possession in overtime and LSUs Drew Alleman kicked a 25-yard field goal to give the Tigers a 9-6 win.Saturday night, exactly five years to the day, the two old rivals will meet once more, this time at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge and again in prime time. Its not another Game of the Century. Alabama (8-0, 5-0 SEC) is No. 1 while LSU (5-2, 3-1) is No. 13 and has a new head coach in Ed Orgeron, who took over for the fired Les Miles on Sept. 25.But there wont be any shortage of drama as Tiger Stadium will be packed beyond its capacity of 102,321.Since losing to LSU five years ago, Alabama has beaten the Tigers five straight times. Specifically:Jan. 9, 2012: Despite the loss to LSU the previous November, Alabama played its way into a rematch in the BCS championship game, winning 21-0 in New Orleans.Nov. 3, 2012: In Baton Rouge, No. 5 LSU dominated the game statistically, but Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron led a last-minute drive that concluded with a 28-yard screen pass to T.J. Yeldon for a touchdown with 51 seconds left. No. 1 Alabama beat the Tigers 21-17 and went on to win the national championship.Nov. 9, 2013: In Tuscaloosa, No. 1 Alabama dominated the second half to beat No. 13 LSU 38-17.Nov. 8, 2014: In Baton Rouge, No. 5 Alabama trailed No. 16 LSU 13-10 with just 50 seconds left. But Blake Sims drove the Crimson Tide into position and Adam Griffith kicked a 27-yard field goal with three seconds left to send the game into overtime, where Alabama won 20-13. Alabama reached the first College Football Playoff, where it lost in the semifinals to Ohio State.Nov. 7, 2015: In Tuscaloosa No. 4 Alabama held LSU running back Leonard Fournette to only 31 yards rushing and the Crimson Tide dominated 30-16. Alabama would go on to win another national championship.Alabama will certainly be favored but youll note that the Crimson Tides last two trips to Baton Rouge have been dog fights. LSU has a chance to put a serious dent in Alabamas national championship hopes.This is one of the biggest games of the year, Alabama coach Nick Saban said. It always is.Saban, in his 10th season at Alabama, will be going for career victory 200.Here are some other SEC storylines to watch on the first Saturday in November: No. 11 Florida (6-1, 4-1) controls its destiny in the SEC East, but to capture the division the Gators are probably going to have to win a game or two against the SEC West. It starts Saturday when Florida goes to Arkansas (5-3, 1-3), which had last week off to recover from a 56-3 pounding the Hogs took at the hands of Auburn on Oct. 22.The key to this game will be how the Arkansas offense, led by quarterback Austin Allen (2,048 yards passing, 18 touchdowns) will fare against a Florida defense that is second nationally in points allowed (11.7 ppg).Floriida hosts South Carolina next week before going to LSU on Nov.dddddddddddd 19. Kentucky (5-3, 4-2) has a chance to make some history Saturday night when the Wildcats host a struggling team from Georgia (4-4, 2-4).Since an 0-2 start the Wildcats have won five of their last six games. A win over the Bulldogs would not only lock up a bowl game, it would guarantee Kentucky a winning conference record for the first time since 1977.Mark Stoops, in his fourth season at Kentucky, wants you to know that his Wildcats are not an overnight success.We are happy with the way weve been playing but where we are now has been in the works for several years, said Stoops. No team in the SEC has turned its season around better than No. 9 Auburn (6-2, 4-1). The Tigers started 1-2 but the two losses were to No. 2 Clemson and No. 4 Texas A&M.But since then Auburn has found its identity behind pile-driving running back Kamryn Pettway, who leads the SEC with 933 yards, and a defense that is only giving up 16.0 points per game.Auburn has won five straight games and on Tuesday appeared at No. 9 in the first College Football Playoff rankings.Coach Gus Malzahn said his team cannot be caught looking ahead with Vanderbilt (4-4, 1-3) coming to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday. Vanderbilt features the No. 2 rusher in the SEC (Ralph Webb, 106.88 ypg), and a defense that has held five of its opponents to 125 yards rushing or less. Texas A&M (7-1, 4-1) was No. 4 in the first CFP rankings released on Tuesday. The Aggies, whose only loss was to No. 1 Alabama (33-14) on Oct. 22, have about 30 percent chance of winning their final four games and finishing 11-1, according ESPNs Football Power Index. That final run of games begins Saturday at struggling Mississippi State (3-5, 1-3) followed by Ole Miss (3-5), Texas-San Antonio (4-4), and LSU (5-2). The final three games are all in College Station.Texas A&M is not out of the SEC West race. If the Aggies win out and Alabama loses to both LSU and Auburn, Texas A&M would win the division by virtue of their 29-16 victory over Auburn on Sept. 17. After a 2-4 start Will Muschamp, South Carolinas first-year head coach, had to make a tough decision. He pulled the redshirt off of true freshman quarterback Jake Bentley for the seventh game of the season against UMass.The move has paid off as the Gamecocks have won two straight games, including last Saturdays 24-21 upset of No. 18 Tennessee in Columbia. Now, with four games left, the Gamecocks can realistically think about winning six games and going to a bowl.If South Carolina (4-4, 2-4) can win against Missouri (2-6, 0-4) at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday the Gamecocks should be headed to a bowl.Bentley, who skipped his entire senior season of high school to enroll at South Carolina, has completed 70 percent of his passes for four touchdowns and no interceptions in his first two games as the starting quarterback.South Carolina is one of the youngest teams in the country as 78 of its 115 players are freshmen and sophomores.
