They were exponents of Bossa Nova music and creators of the famous song The Girl from Ipanema.The Rio organizing committee offered three choices for the mascot pairs, and it said Vinicius and Tom were chosen in a vote in which about 320,000 people participated.Vinicius is a yellow cat-like creature that represents Brazils fauna, and Tom is a bushy-headed figure reminiscent of the countrys diverse flora.The mascots will head a merchandising effort to sell about $400 million in Olympic-branded products.

England face Malta on Saturday at Wembley in their first fixture since the departure of Sam Allardyce last week and the subsequent appointment of Southgate. Rooneys best position has divided opinion following his spell as a midfielder under Roy Hodgson during Euro 2016, with Allardyce even claiming it was not for me to say where the 30-year-old played following his one, and only, victory in charge against Slovakia in September. But when asked about his potential position against Malta, Rooney said: I dont know, thats a question for Gareth. Its getting a bit tiring, the question of whether I am going to play as a striker, midfielder or number 10. I have answered that question many times, its the same answer. Ill play where the manager wants me to play, I dont pick myself and I have never picked myself for England. Sam Allardyce was non-commital over Rooneys position in the England team I play to instructions and I am sure the instructions Gareth gives me, whether to play or not to play, are instructions I will try to do to the best of my ability.Rooney has endured a difficult start to the new Premier League season for Manchester United and has been left on the substitutes bench for the previous three matches by Jose Mourinho.

Its a shame, everyone could see how excited Sam was for the job. He had come in and showed that enthusiasm to the players, its a shame that it has happened and I am sure he deeply regrets it, Rooney said.
