England required a series of brilliant saves from Joe Hart to salvage a 0-0 draw at Slovenia in World Cup qualifying, with the dropping of captain Wayne Rooney failing to have the desired effect on Tuesday.The goalkeeper tipped Jasmin Kurtics header onto the bar off a corner early in the second half with the best of his saves, and rushed from his line to keep out two one-on-one chances after sloppy England back-passes were intercepted.I was asked to do quite a bit, said Hart, who clattered into the goal frame when acrobatically denying Kurtic. My body is in absolute pieces; Im going to struggle to get up tomorrow.Englands 100 percent start to Group F, after wins over Slovakia and Malta, ended on a night that saw Rooney begin on the bench in a big call from interim manager Gareth Southgate. Rooney, who has been struggling for form for club and country this season, came on in the 73rd minute when Slovenia was controlling the game and curled a shot wide with his only chance.It was the first time England had failed to win a qualifier for a major tournament in 15 games.Like Rooney -- who has also been dropped by Manchester United -- Hart has had a tough season, losing his place at Manchester City and getting loaned out to Italian side Torino. He was also criticized for some displays during the European Championship, which England exited embarrassingly at the last-16 stage at the hands of Iceland.But he produced probably his best display in an England jersey in Ljubljana, saving his team which struggled to create chances or keep possession against high-energy, well-drilled opposition.It was Southgates second game in charge, after a tedious home 2-0 win over Malta on Saturday, since replacing Sam Allardyce as coach. He has made a brave decision to drop Rooney, Englands record scorer, but theres been little change in the level of performances under Southgate.The overall objective is to qualify, so long term its a point towards that, Southgate said.We owe our goalkeeper for getting a point.England stayed in first place in the group, two points above Slovenia and Lithuania. Heres a look at the other games in the group:---SLOVAKIA 3, SCOTLAND 0Robert Mak scored two goals and set up the third for Adam Nemec as Slovakia earned its first points in qualifying.Maks goals came in the 18th and 56th minutes in Trnava, before he whipped in a corner that was headed home by Nemec.It was Scotlands first loss, coming three days after a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Lithuania.---LITHUANIA 2, MALTA 0Lithuania collected its first win thanks to goals by Fiodor Cernych and Arvydas Novikovas, from the penalty spot, in the final 14 minutes.Malta has lost all three of its games.Leon Goretzka Bayern Munich Jersey . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that.

Teams from the country also won the under-17 European title and nearly won the under-21 title last year, too.Ronaldo could have played in Rio de Janeiro, with three players over the age of 23 allowed.

Portugals reputation is going to get evven higher, Paciencia said through a translator.ddddddddddddIt was a night to forget for Argentina, the Olympic soccer champion in 2004 and 2008.

Its the risk of being a goalkeeper, Argentina coach Julio Olarticoachea said through a translator. Its not his fault we have lost.Paciencia put Portugal ahead in the 66th minute. Gifted space on the edge of the penalty area, Paciencia met Bruno Fernandes cross and took a couple of touches before shooting past Rulli.Earlier at the Olympic Stadium in Group D, Honduras beat Algeria 3-2 ' ' '
