There is plenty to celebrate for the Minnesota Lynx as the No. 1 seed in the WNBA playoffs put a lid on the 2016 regular season.Rest is not in the plans for the Lynx, at least not Saturday. After the regular-season finale, Minnesota will not play again until Sept. 28 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.The challenge in Atlantas up-and-down season has been the play of the Dream supporting cast behind star Angel McCoughtry.Theres one mark left for Minnesota to set -- with a win over the Atlanta Dream on Saturday, the Lynx can set a new franchise record for wins in a season (28). Minnesota routed Atlanta 83-65 in Minneapolis on July 20 and has won six of its last seven games and 12 of 14.With three wins -- by an average margin of four points -- the Dream hold the third spot in the Eastern Conference at 17-16. Atlanta has clinched one of the eight postseason spots and is back in the playoffs for the fourth time in franchise history.The Lynx, with home-court advantage locked up throughout the playoffs and a first-round bye entering the postseason, signed Lindsay Whalen and Seimone Augutus to multi-year extensions earlier this week and momentum is at their backs as the franchise looks to repeat as WNBA champions.Atlanta currently holds the No. 5 seed in the playoffs and would face the Mercury in the first round if the postseason began Saturday. A win Saturday could increase the Dreams chances of grabbing a top four seed and first-round bye. Chicago is one game ahead of Minnesota entering Saturday but plays Seattle on Sunday, the final day of the regular season.The Sky won for the sixth time in eight games on Friday and can lock up the fourth spot by beating the Storm. It will have to do so without leading scorer Elena Delle Donne, who injured her thumb on her shooting hand on Sept. 7 and underwent surgery Tuesday. The reigning MVP has missed the last four games. She is listed as day-to-day.The road hasnt been unkind to the Lynx, who tied a franchise-best mark earlier this week with a 13th road win.The Lynx announced that they will wear a patch on their jerseys to celebrate the life of Jacob Wetterling. The patch will be worn in Saturdays home game against at Atlanta and at all games throughout the semifinals of the playoffs. Air Max From China .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Brazilians know the 7-1 loss to Germanys senior team at the World Cup will never be forgotten. That doesnt mean that defeating the rivals in the Olympic final wouldnt have a special sweetness.Two years after the humiliating home defeat, Brazil faces Germanys under-23 team on Saturday with a chance to win the soccer gold medal for the first time.Victory would give Brazil the only trophy it hasnt won in soccer, but not revenge for 2014.That was the World Cup, this is the Olympic team, Brazil coach Rogerio Micale said. Neymar never played in that match so there is nothing that could generate any type of feeling that we have to take revenge. It is a different time with different players and ages.Brazilian fans, however, have been looking forward to the rematch against the Germans, even if its in a tournament played mostly with youth squads and without the same importance as the World Cup. As Brazil routed Honduras in the semifinals, the crowd at the Maracana chanted that Germanys turn is coming up.The supporters are playing their role and we will need the supporters as this is a very strong German team, Micale said. The supporters will want what they want, but there is no link between that match and this one.Germany coach Horst Hrubesch also distanced his team from what happened at the World Cup.What counts is this game, the Olympic final, he said. It is a different team and we are here to live our dream right to the end.Neymar was a member of Brazils squad in 2014 but didnt play against Germany after breaking a bone in his back in the quarterfinals against Colombia.There is nothing like playing at home and having the chance of winning something that weve dreamed about for so long, Neymar said Friday. We are focused only on playing well and winning this gold medal.The only Germany player who was in the World Cup is Matthias Ginter, but he was on the bench and never played in the infamous game at the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte.We know that its going to be a different environment to be playing against Germany again, Brazil goalkeeper Weverton said.dddddddddddd But nobody here played in that final. What happened in the past is in the past, nothing is going to change that, even if we win by seven goals. We have a chance to create our own history, for our generation to do something different and earn this gold for Brazil.Playing at home and with Neymar, Brazil is taking the Olympic tournament more seriously than ever. It arrived at the Rio de Janeiro Games as the main title-favorite and with the obligation of winning the elusive gold, which is the only trophy the five-time World Cup champions have never won in soccer. Neymar skipped the Copa America just to try to help Brazil win at the Olympics.Brazil finished with the silver medal three times and the bronze twice. Four years ago, it lost to Mexico in the final in London.This is the third straight Olympics in which Brazil has brought some of its best players looking for gold. Neymar also played in 2012, and in 2008 in Beijing it failed with a team led by Ronaldinho. Brazil also finished second in 1984 in Los Angeles and in 1988 in Seoul, the second time with a team that included Romario and Bebeto. Brazil won the bronze in 1996 in Atlanta with striker Ronaldo.Victory in Rio would help restore some of Brazils soccer pride after the World Cup defeat and this years elimination in the group stage of the Copa America. Brazils last title was at the 2013 Confederations Cup, when the final was also at the Maracana.Germany is playing in the Olympics for the first time since 1988, when Jurgen Klinsmann was on the team. It won the bronze at the time, when it competed as West Germany. It has never won the gold.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni.
