SAO PAULO -- Brazil didnt need Marta to win at the Rio Games. All it took was a speech from the countrys ex-coach and a couple of goals from its latest wonder kid.A call of support from Luiz Felipe Scolari and goals by promising youngster Gabigol helped put Brazil back on track at the Olympic tournament -- the hosts defeated Denmark 4-0 on Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals and keep alive their hopes of winning the gold medal for the first time.Brazil was in danger of an embarrassing elimination at home after struggling in the first two games, when frustrated fans jeered Neymar. Fans chanted Marta was better than Neymar several times across soccer host cities.Brazilian Olympic coach Rogerio Micale, in his first high-profile job, admitted he was struggling.He got some help from Scolari, a man who has dealt with both success and adversity. Scolari was Brazils coach when it won the 2002 World Cup and when it was eliminated by Germany in the historic 7-1 loss in the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup at home.I got a call from Felipao. He showed his support, wished me luck, said he had trust in the work being done, the 47-year-old Micale said. It was a great honor to know that he was worried with this situation all the way back in China (where Scolari coaches). It shows what a great coach and what a great man he is.Scolari suffered through similar difficulties before the 2002 World Cup, when Brazils national team didnt have the support of the home fans after almost failing to qualify for the tournament in South Korea and Japan.He is a coach with experience, Micale said. He understands this moment that we were going through. He wanted to encourage us.Micale said he has also been getting support from senior team coach Tite, who made an important visit to the team after the disappointing scoreless draws against South Africa and Iraq.Its always important to have Tite around us, Micale said. His experience is always welcomed.The easy-going Micale has been Brazils under-23 coach but was not expected to be head of the team at the Olympics. He was given the job when Dunga was fired and replaced by Tite, who didnt want to take over both national teams.Micale said he was relieved after Brazil escaped elimination with the win against Denmark on Wednesday, with goals from Gabigol, Luan and Gabriel Jesus, another promising star who was yet to show his potential despite high expectations. Gabriel Jesus reached a multimillion-dollar deal to transfer to Manchester City just before the tournament began, while Gabigol is expected to soon make the move to European soccer. Both players had struggled in the first two matches.Barcelonas Neymar also played better Wednesday.The effort was there in the first matches; we tried hard but the results didnt happen, Neymar said. This time, we had more patience and we were able to score goals and get the result we wanted. The fans want to see goals and that didnt happen in the previous games, so they get a little upset, but they need to understand that we are not here to joke around. We are here to play football and do our best.Brazil, which will play Colombia in the quarterfinals Saturday in Sao Paulo, remains the main favorite to win the Olympic gold, which is the only major trophy the five-time World Cup champions havent won in soccer.

NEW YORK -- The online-cable market is getting a little more crowded.FuboTV, a small soccer-focused streaming site, is adding dozens of TV networks, mainly focused on sports, to its service. Its upping the price to $35, from $10.Adding more sports channels and some general-interest networks makes it more of a competitor to both traditional cable and live-streaming services like Sonys PlayStation Vue, Dish Networks Sling TV and AT&Ts DirecTV Now. Theres also an internet TV package coming from Hulu next year.Coming in January are sports channels like FS1, NBA TV, NBCSN, and regional sports networks and a few dozen non-sports channels like Lifetime, Bravo, Fox News, A&E and Hallmark. Some customers can get Fox, NBC and Telemundo, if they live in cities where the same company owns the network and the local TV station.Fubo CEO David Gandler said the price will likely rise to $50 as more sports video is added. Access to live sports is one of the big reasons that people continue to pay for cable bundles that can easilly reach $100 a month.ddddddddddddLike the other live-streaming services, the revamped Fubo has holes. Only people in a few cities can watch Fox and NBC. ESPN, the most well-known sports channel, isnt currently on the lineup, and neither are other channels heavy on sports, like CBS and TBS. Some games will be blacked out because of rights issues. And NFL games wont be available on smartphones because Verizon has the exclusive mobile rights.Gandler expects that Fubo will remain relatively small. It had 70,000 customers as of June, and has more now, although he wouldnt say how many. By the end of next year, he expects to have at least several hundred thousand subscribers.Sling is estimated to have fewer than a million customers nearly 2 years after it launched, while roughly 97 million households subscribe to cable or satellite TV, according to research firm MoffettNathanson Research.
