Kevin Davies has backed Sam Allardyce to unite the England squad and believes his ambition and drive can inspire the players to better performances. Davies played under him at Bolton and helped the club obtain European football as they enjoyed a spell towards the top end of the Premier League table.The 39-year-old was impressed with the harmony Allardyce brought to a Wanderers squad comprised of multiple nationalities. Some England players have been accused of lacking the passion and desire needed to reach their peak while on international duty.With his experience at Bolton in mind, Davies thinks Allardyce - credited for being a great motivator - will get the players he picks focused on wanting to succeed as much as he does.He told Sky Sports News HQ: Straight away I had a rapport with him. Sams one of these managers you want to play for and hes got that character about him. Davies was impressed with the way Allardyce brought several nationalities together into a tight unit at Bolton Hes a big personality and he knows exactly when to push you, when to give you the carrot and when to crack the whip.Ive worked under a dozen or so managers and his man-management skills are second to none. I enjoyed my four or five years working underneath him.He gets the best out of you as individuals but also as a team. The first thing that strikes you about him is his ambition and his determination to be the best.That filters through to the players. We had 18 or 19 nationalities in the Bolton dressing room at one time but he found a way of bringing us all together. England have confirmed Allardyce as their new manager on a two-year deal He galvanises a squad of players and if anyone goes against that, theyre quickly found out and they could find themselves out of the squad. He wont suffer any fools.We want to see what Wales did, what Iceland did, Portugal, Italy. They had a real togetherness and got on well on and off the pitch. Thats something Sam really specialises in.He will pick players not only based on their ability but for their personalities as well. He will look at the whole chemistry within the team as well and I firmly believe he will be a success. Former England defender Jamie Carragher believes Allardyce was the best candidate for the job Sky Sports pundit Tony Cottee is convinced the FA have made the best choice they could and added: Im really pleased.First and foremost, I think we should always pick the best Englishman available to be the manager of England.Obviously there were others in the running - the likes of Steve Bruce and Glenn Hoddle, who would also have been good choices - but Ive always been a fan of Sam.Hes always got the best out of his teams and he will certainly get this England squad well organised and I think well see an improvement on what went on in the summer. Sky Sports Tony Cottee thinks Allardyce was the best choice The FA could make as England boss Ultimately professional football is about winning and we need to get closer to winning with England.I know they didnt perform in the summer for whatever reason but they are capable of doing much, much better.Sam will get them organised, hell get a strong back four in place and every player will know exactly what theyre doing.

Fake Yeezy 350 White . -- Down to 10 men and behind on the scoreboard, Toronto FC displayed its perseverance.DENVER -- Brett Anderson left Friday nights game before he wanted to. Still, he was a winner for the first time in 15 months. Anderson pitched effectively into the seventh inning before a blister ended his night and the Colorado Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-1. "Its good. Your goal when you pitch is to win the ballgame and its been a while," he said. "Its pretty satisfying, especially my first win in the National League. Hopefully Ill get on a roll here." Carlos Gonzalez homered and Josh Rutledge had two hits and drove in four runs for Colorado, which has won consecutive games for just the second time in the last six weeks. The Rockies are 16-40 since May 20 but they cooled off the Pirates, who entered Friday 44-29 since starting the season 10-18. Not every Colorado player left Coors Field in a good mood. Third baseman Nolan Arenado was removed from the game after he failed to run hard to first on a grounder to the mound in the fourth. Pirates starter Charlie Morton bobbled the ball but was able to get Arenado, who jogged at the start before hustling to try and beat the throw. "We talk a lot about playing the game hard, playing the game right and how important that is, especially when youve been getting your (butt) kicked for a while. Its even more important. Its imperative," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "I just felt Nolan didnt meet that standard at that point. Nolans a great kid. Hes a great player. Thats how I saw it." Anderson (1-3) had not won since beating Houston on April 7, 2013, in his last start for Oakland. He spent four months on the disabled list and moved to the As bullpen when he returned. He was winless in three April starts for Colorado before a broken left index finger put him on the shelf for 81 games. Friday was his third start since coming back and he allowed just two hits in 6 1-3 innings before a blister began to develop on his left index finger "I noticed it in the bottom of the sixth and then I started throwing some breaking balls there in the seventh and it kind of caught," Anderson said. "Hopefully got it before thing (turns) major. It didnt break open and they drained it. I dont foresee it being a problem." He left the game with a 1-0 lead after walking Ruussell Martin for the third time.dddddddddddd "My stuff is getting better and better and my velocity is coming back," Anderson said. "... The offence showed up tremendously." Tommy Kahnle came on and got the last two outs of the seventh and the Rockies broke it open in the bottom of the inning off Morton (5-10). Ben Paulsen and Wilin Rosario led off with consecutive doubles and DJ LeMahieu singled. Ernesto Frieri relieved Morton and pinch-hitter Drew Stubbs bounced a grounder over the pulled-in infield for an RBI double. An intentional walk to Charlie Blackmon loaded the bases and Rutledge cleared them with a double to centre. "He pitched a good ballgame through six and the seventh got away from him," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of Morton. "Frieri came in and wasnt able to quite execute the pitches he needed to so they piled up seven on us." One out later Gonzalez hit his 10th homer of the season to make it 8-0. "It was nice to see our offence but it was even better to see the way we pitched tonight," Gonzalez said. "Anderson gives us a big shot to win this game." The Rockies nearly pulled off a triple play in the fifth after Neil Walker led off the inning with Pittsburghs first hit of the game. With runners on first and second, Jordy Mercer hit a sharp grounder to third baseman Charlie Culberson, who stepped on the bag but his throw to second pulled Rutledges foot off the base. Rutledges relay to first got Mercer, and after a 3-minute, 16-second review the call at second was confirmed. NOTES: Walker has reached base in 22 straight games. Its the longest active streak in the majors. ... Members of the Manchester United Football Club visited with Rockies players during batting practice. ...
