PARIS -- Both the English city of Leicester and the island nation of Iceland have populations of 330,000; both have shaken the established order in European soccer.A member of Leicester Citys backroom staff has advice for Icelands national team as it heads for a quarterfinal at the European Championship against host France: Forget about us.Dont start dreaming, because as soon as you do that, you are thinking about the consequences of the result, Leicester performance psychologist Ken Way told The Associated Press.Leicester won the Premier League last season against the odds -- one of the most improbable triumphs in English soccer history.If you get carried away with, `We could reach the semifinals, we could reach the final, we could be champions, you take some of the power and focus away, he added. They should forget Leicester.Iceland is the smallest nation to ever contest a major tournament. The team advanced from its group above Cristiano Ronaldos Portugal and then stunned England to reach the quarterfinals. The next challenge is even tougher with a game Sunday against the host at the Stade de France. Win that, and its either Germany or Italy in the semifinals.Though Way is urging the Iceland team to put aside any comparisons with Leicester, he can see the parallels.You can see their Viking attitude, said Way, who usually works two days a week at Leicester. (Leicester captain) Wes Morgan spoke last year about being a band of brothers who would die for one another on the pitch ... it is very definitely a team spirit like us.That was evident when Iceland came from behind to beat England 2-1 in Nice on Monday. England seemed fixated on the result and the magnitude of the consequences whereas Iceland seemed devoid of such pressure.It looked like they (Iceland) were having fun, the whole team, Way said in a telephone interview. They had a much more kind of Leicester kind of view of things: Lets go out and attack -- very much on the fight side of the human dimension.The contrast with the English players was evident after the final whistle when many of them were slumped on the pitch.It was not just a reaction to the defeat but a reaction to what they knew this meant back home and the criticism they would face, Way said.In Iceland, theres great joy at the national teams Euro 2016 heroics.Way urged the Iceland coaching staff to be careful about changing things too much just because the team has outperformed expectations. Key, he said, is maintaining the harmony of the squad.The sort of knee jerk reaction you could imagine happening is (Iceland) suddenly decide that because they have done so well they need to bring in some piece of magical equipment, a particular new training drill or something different, Way said. Thats fine as long as every member of the team is totally bought into it at the same level.Way recalls that Leicester introduced a cryotherapy chamber as an alternative to ice baths last season but that it wasnt mandatory for players to use the low-temperature treatment.As soon as you have some not convinced what you have opened up there is doubts, potential mistrust, he said.Way also urged the Iceland team to be wary about viewing their Euro 2016 experience as a stage to impress scouts.Dont get carried away with it and think `I could be signed by Leicester City or Real Madrid or Chelsea or whatever, Way said.---Rob Harris can be followed at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports Air Jordan Spizike White Varsity Red Classic Green .

LOS ANGELES -- UCLA quarterback Josh Rosens status for Saturdays game at Washington State remains up in the air, and coach Jim Mora said Wednesday the team will factor in both what makes sense in the short and long term when making a final decision.Rosen will be heavily involved in the process, as will several others around the team.Not only Josh but our medical team is outstanding and his dads a doctor, Mora said. So weve got him surrounded by people who understand whats going on and I think at the end of the day you help him make the best decision for him, but you let him make the right decision. If its safe. Were not going to let him make a decision that puts himself in further jeopardy.Rosen twice left Saturdays game at Arizona State with separate injuries. He left late in the first half for an issue with his right leg and appeared to injure his right arm after returning in the seconnd half.dddddddddddd Former walk-on Mike Fafaul was inserted into the game both times and would start Saturday if Rosen is unable to play.When hes been in here in practice, hes done a nice job, Mora said. Its always harder for a backup to go in a game during the game because he hasnt gotten as many reps. Mikes gotten more reps than he typically would and so I think that builds confidence going into a game.Left tackle Conor McDermott, Fafauls roommate, said Fafaul has been taking every rep.I havent seen an ounce of nervousness, McDermott said. Hes been excited, joking around after practice. Im not used to being this tired.Fafaul has never started a game for the Bruins. Against Arizona State, he was 3-of-11 for 44 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns.
