ONTHEAIR The Associated Press FORTALEZA, BRAZIL Goal- keeper Guillermo Ochoa made a series of outstand- ing saves to help Mexico hold Brazil to a thrilling 0-0 draw at the World Cup on Tuesday. The result leaves both teams with four points each after two games in Group A, but Brazil is ahead on goal difference going into their decisive fi- nal matches. Croatia and Cameroon meet today for their second games after both opened with defeats. Ochoa's first remarkable save prevented Neymar from scoring in the 26th minute. The Brazil striker's powerful header looked set to fly just inside the post when the goalkeeper dived to his right to push the ball wide. Ochoa also made three other difficult saves to keep the hosts from breaking the deadlock — a shot by Paulinho in the 44th, a sec- ond-half effort by Neymar from inside the area and a close-range header by Thiago Silva in the 86th minute which produced a remarkable block by the Mexico goalkeeper. RUSSIA 1 SOUTH KOREA 1 Alexander Kerzhakov scored with one of his first touches after coming on as a substitute to earn Russia a 1-1 draw with South Ko- rea on Tuesday in a World Cup match marked by the first big goalkeeping error of the tournament. Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev spilled Lee Keun- ho's speculative long-range shot into his own net to gift South Korea a 68th-minute lead at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba in Group H. BELGIUM 2 ALGERIA 1 Bel- gium opened its World Cup campaign with a 2-1 come- back win over Algeria on Tuesday, relying on second- half goals from two substi- tutes after a tense start in Group H. Algeria opened the scor- ing with a penalty in the 25th minute and the sur- prising lead stood for 45 minutes. WORLD CUP ROUNDUP Mexico holds Brazil to draw Teams have four points each in Group A a er scoreless tie Francisco company paid Davis $4 million in return for 10 percent of his future earnings from football, commercial endorsements and other jobs that he may get during the remainder of his life. The 27-year-old Boone signed a contract exten- sion while he was a backup tackle in November 2011. He has two years remain- ing on the deal, which will reportedly pay him $2.25 million this season and $1.45 million next season. Most of their teammates responded in similar fash- ion when asked about their absences — saying it's a de- cision each player has to make on their own. Second-year safety Eric Reid, whose locker is next to Wright's, said it was a little surprising when he heard Wright was consid- ering not playing anymore. Wright had been compet- ing for the job vacated by former starters Carlos Rogers and Tarell Brown, who both signed with the Oakland Raiders in free agency. The 49ers are treating minicamp as an opportu- nity for others to make an impact. Vance McDonald and Garrett Celek are expected to receive most of the prac- tice repetitions behind Da- vis at tight end. Joe Looney is competing at the guard spot, while tackle Jona- than Martin is receiving some time at guard. Dan- iel Kilgore also can play center and guard. Tramaine Brock, Chris Culliver, Perrish Cox, Chris Cook, Darryl Morris and rookies Dontae John- son and Kenneth Acker are competing at cornerback. "It's next man up," 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. "That's how it goes." 49ers FROM PAGE 1 probably in a long time," Wilson said Tuesday. "His- torically every team in the league that has had success has probably gone through that phase. ... We know that we haven't accomplished what we want to accom- plish." Wilson made two off- season moves Tuesday in advance of next week's draft and the start of free agency. He signed goalie Alex Stalock to a two-year, $3.2 million contract and Mike Brown to a two-year $2.4 million deal to prevent both from becoming unre- stricted free agents next month. But bigger moves are sure to come if Wilson is going to achieve his goal of turning the team to play- ers like Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture, Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Tomas Hertl. "It comes with some pain," Wilson said. "The timeframe of that rebuild will be based upon the players that get added, the growth of some of the play- ers that we have and how we manage it." The Sharks have seven picks in this year's draft, including three in the first two rounds, and nine next year. Wilson said he will not trade those or pros- pects like last year's first- round pick Mirco Mueller for established veterans. Wilson already traded defenseman Dan Boyle to the New York Islanders af- ter announcing he would not re-sign him and has said that forward Marty Havlat will either be dealt of have the final year of his contract bought out. But the bigger ques- tions surround Thornton and Marleau, who have been the face of the fran- chise for nearly a decade. The two were among the most productive players on the team last season with Thornton ranking second in the NHL with 65 assists and Marleau ranking sec- ond on the team with 33 goals. "There's tough decisions to be made," Wilson said. "I expect everybody to be professional, but some of that will be kept in con- fidence. That's how we've done things in the past and that's how we'll do it going forward." Wilson signed both to three-year extensions in January even though they will both turn 35 before the start of next season. But now the question is do they still fit on a team com- mitted to youth. Trading either player could be difficult as both have no-movement clauses in their contracts and it is unlikely Wilson can get fair value in a trade. But he also must decide whether keeping those players will stunt the de- velopment of the younger group and slow the rebuild- ing process. "We now become a to- morrow team," Wilson said. "When you spell that out, it does create a re- sponse. Now, the tomor- row team, is it one year or two years? Time will tell on how our young players handle the responsibility given to them." Sharks FROM PAGE 1 around Oakland after gen- eral manager Reggie McK- enzie made the curious de- cision to re-sign McFad- den in the offseason, and then got Jones-Drew off the free-agent market two weeks later with a three- year deal. Five years ago the duo was considered among the best in the NFL. Injuries and a lack of steady pro- duction changed that per- ception dramatically. Jones-Drew missed 10 games during the 2012 season and struggled to bounce back last year when he averaged a career-low 3.4 yards a carry. McFadden hasn't made it through a full 16-game schedule in six NFL sea- sons and hasn't averaged more than 3.3 yards a carry since 2011. That exposed both play- ers to stinging criticism from fans and media alike. Jones-Drew never bought into any of it. Any doubts he may have had about the potential of a Jones-Drew-McFadden backfield were erased with each practice together. "We're explosive, we're cutting, we're doing some great things," Jones-Drew said. "Everybody can say what they want. We feel like we have something that we can build on. I know what I did last year wasn't nowhere near what I'm capable of doing and so this year I'm doing every- thing I can to get back to the form I'm used to, and I know Darren is as well." Neither player has the clout anymore to command center stage in the back- field for himself. That's fine with McFad- den, who has been pulling extra duty returning kick- offs this offseason while also splitting time in the backfield with Jones-Drew and second-year running back Latavius Murray. "To me, I feel like the touches are going to go around however it goes, whether one guy gets them first or the second guy gets them first," McFadden said. "It's just all about what you do with the ball when you get the chance." The Raiders are banking that the 1-2 combination of Jones-Drew and McFadden will help spark an offense that was erratic a year ago. Although the team traded for quarterback Matt Schaub and added James Jones to the re- ceiving corps, the empha- sis on building around the ground game has been Oakland's focal point. McKenzie targeted the offensive line for upgrade, bringing in beefy veter- ans Donald Penn and Aus- tin Howard and grabbing 335-pound guard Gabe Jackson with a third-round pick in the draft. All three are expected to start for Oakland this season. The focus, though, re- mains on 20 and 21 — Mc- Fadden and Jones-Drew. "When you watch them practice you see guys that still have explosion," Raid- ers coach Dennis Allen said. "(They are) guys that still have run skills, guys that can make people miss. I haven't paid a lot of at- tention to what the statis- tics may say. I just see what I see with my eyes and I see a couple of guys that if they can stay healthy, they still have the ability to per- form at a high level in this league." NOTES: Second-year cornerback D.J. Hayden is still wearing a walking boot and is unable to prac- tice. Hayden, the 12th over- all pick in 2013, is expected to recover.
