KIEV, Ukraine—Irelands cheerful legions of singing fans have won a UEFA prize
after winning millions of admirers at the European Championship. Larry Fitzgerald Elite Jersey . UEFA says its
president Michel Platini will visit Ireland soon to present an award to thank
the “absolutely fantastic” fans. UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino said,
“everyone was very impressed with the fans of the Irish national team.” The
Irish fans singing of “The Fields of Athenry” filled stadiums in Poznan and
Gdansk with emotion despite the team being mostly outclassed in losing to
Croatia, Spain and Italy. “The Fields of Athenry” is a folk song set during the
19th century Irish Famine about a fictional man from near Athenry in County
Galway sentenced to be transported to Australia for stealing food for his
starving family. Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon said Irelands fans “should be
applauded.” Buffon said: “They are people full of pride and happiness who accept
defeat and victory in the same manner.” D Anthony Batiste Jersey . —Joey Logano had

—The New York Giants signed linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka to a three-year-year
contract extension that will keep him with the team through 2015 . The Super
Bowl champions announced the deal Friday, a day after they signed veteran
defensive tackle Shaun Rogers. Kiwanuka will earn more than $21 million,
including an $8.5 million signing bonus, under terms of the deal, which was
posted on the NFL Players Association website. He base salary will only be
$950,000 next season but his salaries over the final three years will be $2.95
million, $4.375 million and $4.775 million. The deal also includes incentives.
The signing further clouds whether the Giants will give defensive end
Osi Umenyiora a new contract. He said general manager Jerry Reese promised to
rework his contract after the 2010 season and that still has not been done.
Umenyiora, who is now in the final year of a deal that will pay him $3.975
million this season, refused to speculate on how the Kiwanuka deal will affect
his contract situation. “No idea what it means, but we will see,” Umenyiora said
inn an email to The Associated Press. Daryn Colledge Jersey. “I thought it was a
good, smart decision by the Giants.” The 29-year-old Kiwanuka appeared in all 20
games last season, playing strongside linebacker on first and second downs and
as a lineman in passing situations. The seven-year veteran finished fourth on
the team with 84 tackles, 3 1/2 sacks, 13 tackles for losses, nine quarterback
hits, an interception, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Kiwanuka missed
most of the 2010 season with a neck injury and did not get a big deal when
re-signed a two-year deal with the team in the off-season. His play convinced
the team he was worth a long-term contract. Kiwanuka was the Giants first-round
draft choice in 2006. He was originally drafted as a defensive end but was
switched to linebacker in 2007, a season in which he broke his leg. He played
end in 2008 and 2009 and returned to linebacker in 2010. The former Boston
College star has played in 76 regular-season games with 56 starts. He has 339
tackles, 17 sacks, three interceptions, nine forced fumbles and three fumble
recoveries. ’ ’ ’
