NEW YORK -- The newest team in Major League Soccer is doing its part to fill Yankee Stadium with stars. Cheap Indianapolis Colts Jerseys . New York City FC introduced Frank Lampard in Brooklyn on Thursday after signing the 36-year-old former Chelsea midfielder to a two-year contract. "Why not New York? Talk about ticking all the boxes. I want to carry on challenging myself." Lampard said at a news conference . "Thats a great challenge, isnt it? City of hopes and dreams. Thats where you want to go to and play isnt it?" The club owned by Manchester City of the Premier League and the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball previously signed David Villa of Atletico Madrid. Both City and Atletico won league championships last year, meaning the expansion soccer team set to begin playing home games at the ballpark in 2015 is also bringing more champions to the Bronx than Yankee Stadiums full-time tenants have lately. The news conference was held at Brooklyn Bridge Park, where several soccer fields share space on a pier in the East River across from Lower Manhattan. A couple dozen fans, many in blue Chelsea jerseys, gathered around to listen, at times cheering and getting laughs from the dais, where Lampard was flanked by club sporting director Claudio Reyna , chief business officer Tim Pernetti, and coach Jason Kreis. Lampard, who has scored 211 goals for England and Chelsea, became the latest international star to move to MLS. Most famous was David Beckham, who joined the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007 from Real Madrid. "I think this is an incredibly exciting time for the league," Kreis said. Lampard is "a rare talent, one that scores a lot of goals from midfield, yet is also a disciplined defender and someone who reads the game brilliantly." Lampard was asked about a widely reported encounter with American travellers in 2001, shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, when he and teammates were fined following reports they were behaving drunkenly and boorishly in front of the distraught Americans. "I was naive and a young boy at the time and I have some regrets," Lampard said. "I categorically didnt insult anyone, set out to insult anyone, behave badly in front of Americans or in fact anyone. Ive tried in the last 13 years at Chelsea to build up -- well, to just be a good man really and not just be a good footballer, but a good man off the pitch. ... Unfortunately it was very much misreported at the time in England and its actually a chance for me to finally say that." Lampard, speaking with the skyline behind him across the river, said he "of course" plans to visit the Sept. 11 memorial. "You visit this great city, you know what it means to New Yorkers. I think you go and pay your respects, so yes I will," he said. Kreis said the team examined the situation and considers the matter resolved. His newest player is someone with strong feelings about New York. "I want New Yorkers to hear that and see that," Lampard said. "Its up to me to show them here and prove the footballer I am and the person that I am." Wholesale NFL Jerseys . His team rose to the occasion Sunday with a 3-1 victory over Sweden in the bronze-medal game. "The sting from yesterday is not something we hid from or pretend didnt happen," Dineen said.

DALLAS -- The Edmonton Oilers made the most of limited offence and both parts of their goalie tandem. Jordan Eberle and David Perron scored in the shootout, and Devan Dubnyk come on in relief of injured goalie Ilya Bryzgalov in the Oilers 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars on Sunday night. "Its nice to get a win," Perron said, "mostly with the shot total that was tonight (Dallas 45, Edmonton 32). We greased one out." Dubnyk stopped two of three shots in the tiebreaker. Dallas Kari Lehtonen failed to make a save in the shootout after stopping 30 shots through the first 65 minutes. "Things werent really going our way for the first half of the game, so you knew there was going to be some shots," Dubnyk said. "I thought we responded pretty good to it." Edmontons Ales Hemsky scored 5 seconds before the second period ended, and Andrew Ference fired in a slap shot with 5:07 remaining in regulation to tie it again. Ryan Garbutt scored two goals, including a short-handed tally that gave Dallas a 1-0 lead in the second period. He also put the Stars ahead in the third. "Its obviously pretty important to have good shootouts," Garbutt said. "Weve had (Rich) Peverley scoring goals in the last two games, but we need more guys stepping up when weve got the opportunity." Garbutt nearly had a hat trick but he was stopped on a breakaway attempt by Bryzgalov with 3:41 left in the second. Garbutt collided with Bryzgalov, who left with an upper-body injury and didnt return. "That line and (Garbutt) have played well," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said. "He had eight shots and he skated well. He could have had four goals tonight. Hes creating them himself with his speed." Bryzgalov, who made 28 saves, trailed 1-0 when he came out. Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins praised both of his goalies. "Both those guys, and especially (Dubnyk) coming in the way he did, they were a real catalyst for our team," he said. "To come in off the bench, its never easy. Youve been sitting there for a long time, and then to make especially those saves in tight, that kept us going. "When your goaltendings good it allows you to hang around in the game. They could have easily been first or second stars or second and third, which would have been maybe a first in the NHL." The Oilers improved to 2-1 in shootouts. The Stars dropped to 3-3, including two straight losses in the tiebreaker. Ruff said there was a difference between Fridays 22-1 loss to Chicago, which owns the NHLs best record, and Sundays defeat against the seventh-place team in the Pacific Division. Cheap China Jerseys. "This was a lot more frustrating," he said. "There was glorious opportunities to put it away. Weve got to bear down better and make sure we finish on some of those opportunities." Edmontons other shootout win was on Oct. 7, when Eberle scored the deciding goal against New Jersey. Garbutt put the Stars in front in the second period when he stole the puck near the Edmonton blue line, skated in alone on Bryzgalov, and put a backhander into the upper right corner of the net. The unassisted goal came at 11:37, just 1 second before Dallas Jordie Benn was to come out of the penalty box. It was the Stars second short-handed goal this season. Garbutt has five goals this season, and 10 in 76 NHL games. Dallas had 18 shots in the first period, but couldnt score against Bryzgalov. In the second, the Oilers finally broke through against Lehtonen, who had shut them out in Edmonton on Nov. 13. Jones sent a pass from the top of the right circle to Hemsky in front. Lehtonen stopped Hemskys first attempt, but Hemsky poked in the rebound. The Oilers had been scoreless in 108 minutes against Lehtonen. "It was just kind of a loose puck battle and I wanted to go in hard just to win it," Jones said. "The puck squirted out behind us, and I just turned and threw it there. "Its kind of been my mentality all throughout hockey, just get pucks there. It was a big goal for us late in the second to tie it up." NOTES: Eakins wouldnt elaborate on Bryzgalovs injury.
