CHAPECO, Brazil -- Thousands squeezed into Chapecos cathedral and even more packed a stadium to mourn the death of 71 people in a plane crash, 19 of them members of the Chapecoense club who had been on the brink of soccer greatness.To lose (almost) all of them in such a tragic way, totally destroyed our city and each one of us, Carla Vilembrini said late Tuesday, standing outside Santo Antonio Cathedral. She was dressed like so many others -- in the clubs green and white jerseys.Chapecoenses fantasy season ended on a muddy Colombian mountainside late Monday when a chartered aircraft crashed south of Medellin. Only six of the 77 passengers and crew survived, three of them players.The club was having the best season in its 43-year history, heading to the first of two matches in the final of the Copa Sudamericana, the continents No. 2 club tournament.Distraught residents of this southern Brazilian city of 200,000 people, an agribusiness center near the Argentina border, wandered the streets around the stadium -- known as Arena Conda -- in stunned silence.The city is very quiet, businessman Cecilio Hans said. People will only believe once the bodies start to arrive.On social media, haunting last photos showed the smiling players boarding the flight to Colombia for their match with Atletico Nacional.In one photo, the team celebrated a last-minute save by goalkeeper Danilo only a week ago against the Argentine club San Lorenzo. The save guaranteed Chapecoense a spot in the final -- and ultimately cost Danilo his life in the crash.I cant still believe it, Alan Heinz said inside the stadium, his body pressed against the fence that separates fans from the field. This time the field was filled by a religious service and prayers for the dead.I was preparing for the best day of my life, and now I dont know what my life will be after this, he said.As recently as 2009, the club known as Chape was playing in Brazils fourth division, but it won promotion to the top league in 2014 for the first time since the 1970s.Victories over San Lorenzo and Independente -- two of Argentinas fiercest squads -- as well as the Colombian club Junior took the team to the Copa Sudamericana finals, the equivalent of the UEFA Europa League tournament.Few of the players had an international profile, and none had any appearances with Brazils glitzy national team. Most had played all over Brazil and Latin America. Only a few had ever reached Europe, like Cleber Santana, who played for Atletico Madrid in 2007-10.Chape strikers Bruno Rangel and Kempes, both 34, were among the top scorers in the Brazilian league, with 10 and nine goals, respectively.The only players to survive were goalkeeper Jakson Follmann, defender Helio Zampier, commonly known as Neto, and defender-midfielder Alan Ruschel.Coach Caio Junior is credited with Chapes quick rise, joining the club this year after guiding teams in the Middle East. Born Luiz Carlos Saroli, he coached numerous Brazilian teams, including Palmeiras, Flamengo and Botafogo.He was among the dead. His son, Matheus Saroli, escaped because he didnt make the flight, saying in a Facebook post that he couldnt board because I forgot my passport.An Argentine player on the club, Alejandro Martinuccio, also missed the flight, because of an injury during a game, he told Argentinas La Red radio.I feel deep sadness. The only thing I can ask is prayers for the companions who were on the flight, he said.Also among the dead were 20 sports journalists, including Mario Sergio Pontes de Paiva, a former player who worked as a commentator for Fox Sports. He played briefly for Brazils national team in the early 1980s and had a long career as a midfielder and coach with many Brazilian clubs. He last coached Brazilian club Internacional in 2009 and Ceara in 2010.This is a very, very sad day for football, FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in a statement. At this difficult time our thoughts are with the victims, their families and friends.Brazilian President Michel Temer declared three days of official mourning, while soccer great Pele called it a tragic loss. Brazilian champion Palmeiras asked the countrys football confederation for permission to wear Chapecoenses jersey in its last match of the season.Around the world, the sport paused to remember the victims.Barcelona and Real Madrid held a minute of silence before their practice sessions during the day, and Frances top two leagues observed be a minutes silence at Tuesday nights games.Medellin-based Atletico Nacional said it was asking the South American soccer confederation to give the Copa Sudamericana title to Chape as a tribute to the players who died.Some of Brazils top clubs said they wanted to lend players to Chape for the 2017 season. They also said the team should not be relegated to the second division as it recovers from the disaster.The dream is not over. We will fight back when its time, said Chapes acting club president, Gelson Della Costa.Now its time to take care of the families, he said.---Associated Press sports writer Mauricio Savarese reported this story in Chapeco, Brazil, and AP sports writer Stephen Wade reported from Rio de Janeiro.

Nike Vapormax Off White Deutschland . PETERSBURG, Fla. THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams are moving the ball better. Now they need to turn that production into touchdowns.The Rams had a season-high 345 yards of total offense Sunday, but scored only one touchdown from four trips into the red zone in their 30-19 loss to the Buffalo Bills.Coach Jeff Fisher was left alternating between a defending his offense and being dismayed with a unit still ranked last overall in the NFL -- the same spot it occupied last season.You can take the 32nd in the league and write all you want about it, Fisher said. But this offense is improving.Fisher started his Monday press conference highlighting statistics including rushing attempts and time of possession, calling it a formula for winning. But when asked about the offenses inability to score touchdowns inside its opponents 20-yard line, Fisher pointed to how far the Rams had to go on third down against the Bills.A false start penalty against guard Roger Saffold resulted in a third-and-13 on the games opening drive, while the Rams faced third-and-goal from the 13 in the fourth quarter. Both drives ended in field goals by Greg Zuerlein.Zuerlein has converted all nine of his attempts so far, showing terrific improvement after only making 20 of 30 field goals last season. Still, Fisher would like to redistribute Zuerleins work load.If we need him at the end, we have confidence in him to make that kick, but Id much rather see him kick extra points, Fisher said.That could happen Sunday against the Detroit Lions.The Lions have allowed at least 324 yards in each of their first five games. Opponents have scored touchdowns on 81.25 percent of red-zone possessions, the worst mark in the NFL. That is the kind of defensive generosity the Rams will need to exploit to remove themselves fromm the bottom of rankings in yards and points per game.ddddddddddddWere going to have to have a 500-, 600-yard game to jump into the middle of the pack, so its going to take some time, but to me the wins are going to offset that, Fisher said. Were getting better on third down. We made some plays on third down. We had nine explosive plays against a really good defense, 23 first downs.If the offense does not improve, the calls to play No. 1 overall draft pick Jared Goff will increase. Fisher said the former California quarterback is seeing reps in practice during the week and also running the scout team. A three-game winning streak had pushed questions about Goffs development into the background.He picks up what we are doing, Fisher said. He is improving and has learned a lot. With each passing week he is getting better.If the Rams find themselves with a substantial lead in the fourth quarter or on the wrong end of a blowout, Fisher said he would give Goff playing time. Sean Mannion, now the third-string quarterback behind Goff, completed 6 of 7 passes in a 31-7 loss at the Cincinnati Bengals as a rookie last season.Game notes CB Trumaine Johnson is still undergoing tests after injuring his ankle in the fourth quarter against the Bills, Fisher said. ... G Cody Wichmann did not suffer a high ankle sprain against the Bills, but will likely to be questionable to play against the Lions, Fisher said. ... Defensive linemen Robert Quinn, Michael Brockers and William Hayes are day-to-day, Fisher said. Quinn (shoulder), Brockers (hip) and Hayes (ankle) were not active against the Bills.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
