The Associated Press RIODEJANEIRO Defending champion Spain, the domi- nant global football power for the past six years, was eliminated from World Cup contention Wednes- day with a 2-0 loss to Chile. Spain's famed pass- ing game failed against a high-tempo, tenacious Chile team, its era ending in the storied Maracana Stadium filled mostly with noisy Chilean supporters. Eduardo Vargas tricked goalkeeper Iker Casil- las into diving the wrong way, then shot into an un- guarded goal in the 20th minute. Charles Aranguiz scored in the 43rd when the ball landed at his feet after Casillas punched out a free kick. "I only ask fans for for- giveness, we did every- thing we could," said Casil- las, who lifted the World Cup trophy four years ago. Spain's second loss, af- ter a 5-1 rout by the Neth- erlands, ended any hope of advancing. NETHERLANDS3AUSTRALIA 2 Memphis Depay scored a late clincher as Nether- lands withstood Australia's unsettling challenge in a comeback win to move to the verge of qualifying for the knockout rounds of the World Cup. Netherlands followed up its 5-1 rout of defend- ing champion Spain with a closer-than-expected win against Australia, which is almost surely out of con- tention after two straight defeats. Arjen Robben and Robin Van Persie, who each scored twice against Spain, added to their tal- lies before and after Aus- tralia's goals. CROATIA 4 CAMEROON 0 Mario Mandzukic scored two goals to keep Croatia in the mix at the World Cup with a win over 10-man Cameroon, which will be going home after the group stage. Mandzukic, who re- turned to the team after sitting out the opening loss to Brazil through suspen- sion, headed in a corner, and then knocked in a re- bound in the 73rd.

ON THE AIR portunity.'" Healthy again, that chance has finally arrived. Carradine is getting ex- tra repetitions in practice this week because veteran defensive tackle Justin Smith is out with an un- specified injury. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Smith is ex- pected back for the start of training camp next month. The 49ers initially thought Carradine could contribute late last season when they drafted him as a defensive end in Florida State's 4-3 scheme. General manager Trent Baalke said he loved the versatility Car- radine could bring to San Francisco's 3-4 defense playing in several spots in various packages. Instead, coaches felt Carradine could not get the force he needed from his knee in practice and shut him down in November. That's when Carradine's concerns began to mount. "I was worried last year because I didn't feel like myself," he said. "I felt like my knee was strong, but I didn't feel like myself. I didn't really know if I was ever going to be the same again. I also heard stories of guys who tear knees, they come back and they're just not the same." Carradine said an MRI exam at the end of the year revealed a buildup of scar tissue, and in January he had a procedure to clean it out. He said he felt the difference almost immedi- ately. "I felt like I was 100 per- cent," he said. "I was able to get full range of motion on my knee, I was able to bend it and then also got my strength back on my leg. Now I feel like I'm back to normal again." Carradine is expected to take over the role most fig- ured he'd have last year: as a backup to Smith and Ray McDonald on the outside of the line. He will also com- pete against more experi- enced players such as De- marcus Dobbs and Tony Je- rod-Eddie. While Carradine said sit- ting out last year gave him an opportunity to learn as- signments and technique, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Carradine still has a lot of catching up to do on the field. "He's basically not much different than a rookie coming in right now," Fan- gio said. "So this is his first shot." At the very least, Car- radine's injury has given him a new perspective — one that he will carry with him on the field ev- ery down. "I learned that you never know when it's your last play," Carradine said. "You can go out there and everything can be going good and you can be hav- ing an amazing season and things like that and then all of the sudden you have a knee injury and it's out. I just learned to take advantage of every oppor- tunity." 49ers FROM PAGE 1 tion Jose Abreu and Adam Dunn — and the Chicago White Sox swept the brief two-game series with a 7-6 victory on Wednesday. Abreu reached 20 hom- ers in his 58th game, the third-fewest in ma- jor league history behind Wally Berger (51 games) and Mark McGwire (56 games). "I wasn't aware of this happening, but it's a good thing," Abreu said through a translator. "I welcome it and I want to continue to help the team win. That's what it's all about right now." White Sox ace Chris Sale (6-1) labored, giving up three runs on eight hits through six-plus innings for Chicago. Ronald Belisa- rio, pitched the final 1 2/3 innings to earn his seventh save. Chicago now has won two straight following a four-game skid. "Our guys, they're tough," manager Robin Ventura said. "They just keep grinding. We know we didn't play well against (Kansas City), but put it be- hind you and you keep go- ing. If you want to look in the rearview mirror and wallow on that, you're go- ing to get beat a lot more. These guys seem to stay with it and grind it out." Hudson (7-3) allowed seven runs and 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings, his short- est outing this season. He entered the game with an MLB-leading 1.81 ERA. Giants FROM PAGE 1 "I don't think there re- ally is a difference other than I was able to make pitches," he said. "That's probably it. People some- times forget that baseball is a pretty hard game and there's going to be some rough patches that you're going to go through." Gray (7-3) bounced back nicely from his recent rough stretch. The right- hander needed only 31 pitches to get through the first three innings, then struck out Brad Snyder on a high 95 mph fastball to end the fourth with run- ners at second and third. Gray also got help from left fielder Yoenis Ces- pedes, who made a leap- ing catch at the warning track to rob Adrian Beltre of extra bases two batters before Snyder struck out. His lone mistake came in the fifth when Texas loaded the bases with two outs. Gray walked two and gave up an infield single before Shin-Soo Choo's two-run single made it 2-2. "It's just balance for him," A's manager Bob Mel- vin said. "He knows his de- livery (and) his mechanics pretty well, and Curt's ter- rific at pointing out sub- tle things. There are a cou- ple things he's been work- ing on." Cespedes and Josh Don- aldson each had two hits for the A's. Oakland has won four of five and is a season-high 16 games over .500. Their record is one game better than cross-bay rival San Francisco. A's FROM PAGE 1 there. We're on to the next year." After spending seven seasons running Gary Ku- biak's offense in Houston, Schaub is learning a new system implemented by coordinator Greg Olson. Schaub likes that this of- fense gives the quarterback more freedom to make changes than he is used to and thinks it will suit his strengths. Schaub said there is never enough time to fully learn an offense but he is pleased with the progress he has made this offsea- son adjusting with his new teammates. "I'm pretty comfortable with all of it," he said. "The subtle nuisances within each play, which can hap- pen on the fly, I'm still working through those be- cause this time of year you very rarely get each play with every single look. It's all the mental reps you're watching on film, so we're still working through that. But I feel pretty comfort- able with everything." Part of Schaub's job this offseason as the leader of the offense has been bond- ing with his new team- mates off the field. He has organized dinners, bowling outings and trips to base- ball games in an effort for the offensive players to get to know each other better. He also sent a text mes- sage welcoming quarter- back Derek Carr to the team after he was drafted last month and is helping the rookie adjust to the NFL. Carr has been impres- sive so far, taking second- team snaps away from McGloin, who started six games last season as an undrafted rookie. "I'm not satisfied with being all right or just good," Carr said. "I want to push myself to be the best I can at everything. I try not to ever let myself get com- fortable."
