tars like Lukaku, Haza

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Goals by Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard gave Belgium a 2-0 win over Sweden in a World Cup warm-up game Sunday. Youth Larry Csonka Jersey . After a slow start, the Belgians took advantage of a Swedish defensive mistake that allowed Axel Witsel to set up the Everton striker in the 34th minute. Hazard easily rolled in the second goal in the 78th from a pass by Kevin De Bruyne. "In the first 10 minutes of the match I felt we were a bit hesitant, they played a bit soft," Belgium coach Marc Wilmots said about his team. "Then they got five to six opportunities and they found a solution to get into the game." Sweden, which played without injured star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, had its best chance in the 68th minute when Jimmy Durmaz hit the crossbar after a corner. Ibrahimovic decided to sit out the game just before the start citing back problems. Expectations are high on Belgiums young team, with stars like Lukaku, Hazard and Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany, ahead of the World Cup. It is the countrys first World Cup in 12 years, and it will play Russia, South Korea and Algeria in Group H. Lukaku, who scored the two decisive goals against Croatia that sent Belgium to the World Cup, also scored a hat trick against Luxembourg on Monday. The 21-year-olds position in the team has become much more important after Belgiums No. 1 Christian Benteke went down with an Achilles injury in April, and out of the World Cup. Hazard said the atmosphere in the team is good ahead of the tournament. "There are always things to work on but I think at the end of the day we kept a clean sheet and I think except for the first 15 minutes the organization of the team was good," he said. Sweden failed to qualify for the World Cup after losing to Portugal in a playoff. Womens Jordan Phillips Jersey . Makarova is chasing her second career title after winning in Eastbourne in 2010.

DeRozan took charge in the second half, helping the Raptors avoid yet another fourth-quarter collapse on the way to a 99-92 triumph over the Washington Wizards. The third-year guard scored 13 of his 15 points after the break, barrelling his way to the hoop and making life miserable for Washington defenders. His aggressiveness led to a free-throw barrage that helped Toronto fend off hard-charging Washington for just its third win in the last nine games. But it wasnt without some tense moments, particularly after the Wizards whittled a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit down to three. "Weve been in a lot of close games this season," said DeRozan, who added five rebounds and three assists. "We definitely have to learn from (them), and I think we did tonight." DeRozan shot 7 for 9 from the line, the latest in a string of impressive efforts that has seen him average nearly 10 foul shots per game -- on par with the best players in the league. Head coach Dwane Casey said the plan of late has been to give DeRozan more of a chance to drive to the basket, something he has done successfully the past four games. "Weve been getting a lot of sets that have him attacking the basket, because hes such a good athlete," Casey said. "Hes getting a good balance between jump shots and attacking the rim, and thats what I like about his game right now. "Our spacing has been good for him to drive, and hes been making good decisions." DeRozan has waited a long time to earn the kind of respect from officials usually afforded to players like Dwyane Wade or Kobe Bryant, but he says thats out of his control. "Everything comes with time," he said. "Some nights you may get all the calls, some nights you may not, but that cant make you stop your approach to the game, and especially being aggressive." Up 46-42 at the half, Toronto held Washington in check throughout the thhird quarter thanks in large part to an aggressive stretch from DeRozan, who went 6 for 7 from the line in the period. Youth Kenny Stills Jersey. Alan Anderson ended the quarter in style, knocking down a jumper at the horn as the Raptors entered the fourth ahead 71-61. Andrea Bargnani, who led the team with 18 points, connected on a pair of free throws early in the fourth to give Toronto an 80-65 edge -- its largest of the game -- but Washington stuck around, closing to within six on a Jordan Crawford 18-foot jumper with just over five minutes remaining. John Wall then went to work, hitting Kevin Seraphin for a two-handed dunk in traffic -- Walls 11th assist of the night -- to make it an 89-86 game. An Amir Johnson dunk following a DeRozan miss gave Toronto a five-point advantage on the ensuing possession, and DeRozan connected on a driving layup with 24.5 seconds left to put the game out of reach. It was one of the uglier wins the Raptors have enjoyed this season -- and that wasnt lost on Casey, who lamented the teams defensive struggles. "Another below average defensive game for us," Casey said. "Of all the things, I was disappointed in that. Thats going to be our challenge as a staff, to keep tuned defensively the rest of the way and not lose what foundation we have." Notes: Toronto finished 21-for-23 from the foul line Friday, with 20 of those attempts coming in the second half. ...
