MONTREAL -- Theyre armed with T-shirts, face paint and posters -- and theyre headed to Montreal. Founding members of the Genie Army, a group of Eugenie Bouchard supporters who cheered for the rising tennis star during the Australian Open in January, will be in the city for the Rogers Cup, beginning this weekend. The fan club is made up of about a dozen people and six of them are making the long journey to Canada for the tournament. "We thought it would be a great chance to support Genie in her hometown and have the home crowd cheer along with us," said Stephen Ganavas, a 17-year-old student living in Melbourne. Dressed in red and white and waving a banner with her name, the Genie Army emerged as Bouchards unofficial cheering section during an impressive run in January. She ended up losing to the eventual winner, Li Na, in the semifinal. The Australian devotees, mostly men in their early 20s, readily admit they have no ties to Canada and no connection with Bouchard. They acknowledge the tall blonds looks may have played a part in their decision to support her. Ganavas said he and his friends also wanted to back an "up-and-comer" in the tournament and Bouchard fit the bill to a T after showing her potential at Wimbledon in 2013. "Genie is great because she is so genuine and down-to-earth," he said in an email exchange. "For example, after she had just lost at the Australian Open to Li Na, she came out onto the grounds and just had a chat with us when she could have been relaxing and thinking about the match she had just lost." Its been a landmark year for Bouchard. After her success in Australia, the 20-year-old made it all the way to the semis in the French Open in June before playing in the Wimbledon final on July 5. She enters the Rogers Cup at No. 7 in the world rankings. In the process, Bouchard, who hails from the Montreal-area community of Westmount, has gained a whole new legion of fans. Other Genie Army clubs have sprouted up in Montreal, Quebec City and Trois-Rivieres. The hashtag .GenieArmy was a trending topic on Twitter during Wimbledon. And a special Genie Army ticket package to watch Bouchard at the Rogers Cup is already sold out. Meanwhile, the original fan club from Australia has also gained a following of its own. A Genie Army website is under construction and the group is planning to sell T-shirts inspired by those they wore at the Australian Open. One reads, "Eat, Sleep, Genie, Repeat." And, after having their faces splashed across newspapers, websites and highlight reels during the Australian Open, members of the Genie Army will become a sort of cause celebre in Montreal. The group will attend an official photo this Saturday and, according to a news release, fans will "have the chance to take their photo with the now famous group." Chris Wagner Bruins Jersey . Omar Rahou made the discriminatory gesture several times while celebrating scoring a goal against Romania at Antwerp in January, UEFA said. The sanction was double the five-match ban Nicolas Anelka received from an English Football Association independent tribunal last week for the same act. Derek Sanderson Jersey .

The roster changes have been constant and continuous since late last year, but even with their 46-man roster set for the start of the season, the banged-up Bombers will be kicking off Week 1 with a handful of fresh faces and back-ups in the starting lineup.

Rooney needs seven more goals to overhaul Englands leading scorer, Bobby Charlton.Estonia, ranked No. 81, had captain Ragnar Klavan sent off in the 48th minute for a second yellow card but did a good job in frustrating England in the Group E match.The pleasing thing is we have a young team, we knew it was going to tough but we hung in well, Rooney said. Nights like this are going to help us.Rooney, Englands captain, always looked the likely scorer for the visitors in a drab game in Tallinn. He had eight shots in all and wasted a one-on-one opportunity in second-half injury time by shooting straight at Pareiko.England had previously beaten Switzerlland and San Marino in qualifying and tops the group.ddddddddddddLithuania was looking to move level on points with England but lost 2-0 to Slovenia, which is tied on six points with its beaten opponent. Milivoje Novakovic scored both goals in the first half.San Marino hosts Switzerland on Tuesday, with both countries without a point after two games.Save for an early scare when Sergei Zenjov saw a low shot deflected narrowly wide, England was in control in A. Le Coq Arena but lacked any guile in the final third to finish off good approach play.Rooney volleyed over from a chipped pass from the lively Jack Wilshere midway through the first half and then failed to make connection from close range to a cross from Leighton Baines.Estonia defended stoutly but its task of sneaking the biggest win in its history got harder when Klavan cynically blocked Fabian Delph as the England midfielder ran through toward the area. The referee, who had booked the defender in the 29th for impeding Danny Welbeck, had no option but to show a red card.England struggled to open up Estonias defence in open play, so was thankful for the intervention from Rooney, who raised his arms and looked up to the sky after the ball nestled in the back of the net.It was a good free kick from Wayne, said Hodgson, but it was a frustrating night for him.
