CLEVELAND - Hours after the Browns switched starting quarterbacks, Cavaliers superstar LeBron James stood at his locker following a win rocking a Money Manziel T-shirt.You know I know timing, James quipped.The Browns hope theirs is right, too.Johnny Manziel, the stage is yours.The hyped rookie, who depending on whom you talk to is either the NFLs next big thing or everything thats wrong with todays athlete, will make his first career start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.With their offence sputtering and their playoff hopes wilting, the Browns (7-6) are handing the ball to Manziel.And once hes got it, anything is possible.If something breaks down he runs around and makes a play, Browns Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas said. That can be a huge spark for any team when you have a quarterback who can extend plays the way he does. Im excited to see what he can do. Hopefully he can lead us to where we want to go because I think our goal is still out there.Manziel will take the knowledge he has gathered from spending months learning as a backup behind Brian Hoyer, who helped make the Browns relevant again before it seems the pressure of playing in his hometown, trying to earn a new contract and having Johnny Football over his shoulder became too much.The Browns drafted Manziel with an eye toward the future, and its here.Sure, hes a social media sensation and a star to a young generation of fans, but theres no denying Manziels ability to drop thousands of jaws in a packed stadium and keep defensive co-ordinators up at night.At Texas A&M, he ran a simple offence that consisted of Manziel mostly taking the snap in the shotgun. If his receivers were covered, Manziel would spin, duck, jump, whatever he had to do to buy time until they got open. If they didnt, he took off running to avoid a sack.Browns offensive co-ordinator Kyle Shanahan is expected to utilize Manziels unique skillset.Im excited to see what he can do, Im not going to lie to you, said Browns defensive co-ordinator Jim ONeil, who has only had to deal with Manziel in practice.Everybody in the building can feel the buzz. Everybody cant wait to get to Sunday. Im glad I dont have to defend it. It can be a major headache.The Bengals (8-4-1) lead the AFC North, but to keep it theyll have to control Manziel, which wont be easy.The challenge is even if you do get a good rush on him, he has the ability to make you miss in the pocket, Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap said. King of like (Tony) Romo and some of those guys who are good in the pocket. But at the end of the day, he is still a rookie.Besides Manziel, here are some other things to watch as the Browns go for a season sweep over their Ohio neighbours:WHAT ABOUT ANDY? Bengals QB Andy Dalton had one of his worst games during the 24-3 loss to the Browns on Nov. 6. He completed 10 passes, threw three interceptions and had a career-low passer rating of 2.0. In four games since, he has completed 70 per cent of his passes with seven touchdowns, four interceptions and a combined passer rating of 101.3.JOHNNY TARGET: All the hype about Manziel has made him a marked man.I guarantee that anyone who sacks him will stand over him and give the money sign, Browns coach Mike Pettine said. Thats the price that he has to pay for who he is and the reputation that he brings with him to the NFL. He already got a taste of it in the preseason.During an exhibition at Washington, Manziel flipped his middle finger toward the Redskins sideline in response to their taunts.Pettine said hell remind his quarterback about keeping his composure.TOOTHLESS CATS: Manziel will be making his starting debut against a defence that has only two sacks in the past five games. The Bengals gave up 543 yards against Pittsburgh, the third time this season theyve allowed more than 500 in a game, a franchise record. Theyre on pace to give up 6,000 yards for only the second time in franchise history.ROAD TESTED: The Bengals have won three straight road games since being shut out 27-0 at Indianapolis. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis isnt sure what prompted the turnaround.Whether its home or away youve got to focus in and play, he said. Sometimes, on the road youre mentality just seems as though the focus is good.A.J. AND JOE: Bengals receiver A.J. Green is in one of the best stretches of his career now that hes recovered from an injured big right toe. He had 12 catches during a win at Houston, 11 for a career-high 224 yards last Sunday. The Bengals will try to get him the ball a lot against Cleveland, which has limited him better than any team with cornerback Joe Haden covering him most of the time. In the past two games against the Browns, Green has been held to a total of five catches for 30 yards.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Fake Yeezys Online .

The competition in France is well underway, with the current European champions beginning their campaign with a 1-0 victory against the Czech Republic.But Portugal were held to a shock 1-1 draw with Iceland, with captain Ronaldo expressing his anger at the result after the game. With both teams in action for their second group games over the weekend, Sky Sports Spanish football expert Balague gives his thoughts on Ronaldo and answers your questions on La Roja...The main problem for Ronaldo is Portugal. They dont work enough as a team. When things went wrong and Iceland levelled, having created enough chances by that time to be ahead by more than one goal, the Portugal weve seen so often came out, which is a Portugal where every player tries to do things on their own and they try to be too direct. Anxious. Cristiano Ronaldo was critical of Iceland after they drew 1-1 on Tuesday They have enough quality to keep the ball, to find the spaces in between the lines and to be patient. They have the quality in the legs but obviously not in the head. They rushed decisions and then it became all crosses, one of which from Nani could have been headed better by Ronaldo. The conditions werent created for Ronaldo for more clear chances, so he ended up shooting from outside the box and forcing the finishing.Of course, Ronaldo is helped by the presence of Bale and Benzema at Real Madrid where theres a lot of movement up front and what he likes is a decoy - a centre-forward who does the dirty work and keeping the centre back busy - while he comes from the left, getting inside. Thats what he wants. Icelands midfielder Theodor Bjarnason and his teammates celebrate after the game But he should accept he cannot get that, that at least in Portugal his role is of a centre forward. My point with Ronaldo is that he has the ability as a striker to actually do damage. If Portugal decided to go with Nani or Ricardo Quaresma and him, he moans about the position because he has to do a lot of work, has to play a lot of the time with his back to goal and he feels that is not the best way to show all he can do.I think he is good enough to be a striker for Portugal, 80 per cent of the goals he scores are one-two touches already and he plays with Madrid a lot of the time as a number nine. I dont think Portugal need another striker unless they use one as a decoy to get the most space for him. Portugals Nani says there are positives to take from their 1-1 draw against Iceland How have the favourites impressed you?France are in trouble because I feel like Didier Deschamps is too conservative, but we will see what happens against Albania. They have enough quality to be more adventurous but the coach isnt.Spain went from slow build-up to attacking in dozens of different ways. Italy will be limited by the lack of talent, but as a team, they are one of the most accomplished. Didier Deschamps is too conservative with France, says Balague For me, Croatia are a team that has got a lot of room for improvement. They showed they have both the ability to set up as a team and the players that can take them to the next level - Ivan Rakitic and Luka Modric to be two of them.I feel like Germany struggled to create chances, but they tend to finish them. Remember, this is a team that doesnt start well and can improve. How come Del Bosque doesnt trust Thiago and Aduriz to start? (@TheOnlyTaps)Well he prefers for instance Cesc Fabregas or the midfield that he uses. In the case of Thiago, the problem is theres always a feeling that he takes to many risks, loses balls that can create counter attacks and could be more useful in later parts of the game when the game has opened up. He might be plan B if you like. Alvaro Morata plays better with linking the teaam and Aduriz can take advantage of tired players as well.dddddddddddd Czech Republic defender Theodor Gebre Selassie vies for the header with Alvaro Morata The great thing about when Aduriz came on is that Spain didnt start just putting balls into him, they actually kept playing like they had done during the game. Little link ups, going wide, through the centre, in through the channels and so on. Aduriz is not a magnet for the team that way, but a striker that can also be useful to attract and finish, specially crossesWhat do you think of Spains lack of width and lack of a clinical striker up front? (@LeMonc20)I thought there was a lot of width. Nolito kept coming inside, but the full backs added width.Weve never been a nation that scores a lot of goals. Most of the games in the European Championship and World Cups that weve won have been 1-0. We are helped by the fact we defend well. Weve conceded no goals in the last 600 minutes in the Euros. We only conceded three times in the qualifiers, which means defensively, we play very high up. David Silva battles for the ball with David Limbersky in Toulouse We are doing well but of course it would be better if we could hit those chances we created. I feel like Morata does very well in his role of linking with the midfield, opening up spaces, fixing the centre-backs and that sort of thing but he hasnt shown with the national team to be a clinical finisher yet.Why is Hector Bellerin is not selected for Spain? (@RushiGooner)Juanfran was one of the best players for Spain, so it is not Bellerins time yet, but it soon will be. Hector Bellerin will get his chance for Spain in the near future, says Balague Does the relationship between Pique and Ramos off the pitch have an effect on their defensive partnership for Spain? (@neilstonehewer1)The Pique and Ramos situation was quite tense. They were both defending Barcelona and Real Madrid in their own peculiar way and they didnt back off when the other one provoked a response.There was coffee apparently between both of them early in their stay with Spain. Things have been clarified and you could see that Pique celebrated with a picture of him and Ramos jumping on his back on Twitter after the victory against the Czech Republic and that was replied to by Sergio Ramos. Gerard Pique heads the ball to score Spains winner past Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech Theyve shown very publicly that they actually are OK now so they will focus on the job in hand. They will never be best friends, but they know where they are and any tensions will be forgotten.How will Spain go about breaking down teams who park the bus or sit deep? (@TheOnlyTaps)You saw it against the Czech Republic - by being patient. It was a bit of a slow build-up at first and of course we dont have Xavi who was the clock that kept ticking at the right pace, but Iniesta was absolutely fantastic doing that most of the game as well as finding the forwards. I will celebrate Spain going far in the tournament because that may mean that Iniesta becomes the Ballon DOr winner for those who think thats important, but in any case, he has shown again he is a star and one of our best players ever. He was brilliant at keeping the ball, moving it around, breaking lines of defence and so on. Andres Iniesta bursts away from midfielder Tomas Rosicky in Spains 1-0 Euro 2016 win over the Czech Republic Can you see Cesc Fabregas being benched for either of Koke or Thiago after his poor performance? (@Ghedin1878)He is a question mark for the next game. I think they may still go for him, but has been seen in the midfield as the weakest link, partly because he played a little bit deeper and didnt get into the box as often has he should.I still think that he did good defensive work, he was quite disciplined and can give much more so he might stay in the team but has been considered as one of the question marks for the near future for Spain.
