MOSCOW -- World Cup ticket prices have broken the $1,000 barrier for the first time.FIFA said Tuesday the top price for the 2018 final in Moscow will be $1,100, up from $990 for the 2014 final in Rio de Janeiro. Other tickets for the final will cost $710 and $455, with additional category 4 tickets -- which are sold exclusively to Russian residents -- costing 7,040 rubles (currently $110).For international fans, tickets for first-round games range from $105-210, except for the opener, which costs from $220-$550. The first-round range for the 2014 tournament was $90-$175, meaning the cost of the least expensive seat has risen 16 percent.Prices are $115-$245 for the round of 16, $175-$365 for the quarterfinals and the third-place match and $285-$750 for the semifinals.Russian residents get sharply discounted rates, with their cheapest first-round tickets selling for 1,280 rubles ($20), an increase on equivalent prices for 2014 but roughly in line with prices for South African fans in 2010.FIFA secretary general Fatma Samoura says in a statement that we wanted to make sure that we priced tickets fairly to make the events accessible to as many people as possible.World Cup ticket sales wont start until after the Confederations Cup in Russia next summer.Basketball Shoes Sale . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring.

Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Bill Belichick isnt ready to rule out injured quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for Thursday nights game against the Texans.The Patriots coach also isnt interested in sharing any contingency plans he might have.Garoppolo was a limited participant in practice Tuesday as he continues to recover from the right shoulder injury he sustained late the first half of New Englands win over the Dolphins last week . The third-year quarterback sat out Mondays practice.The Patriots have yet to add another quarterback to the roster, increasing the possibility that rookie Jacoby Brissett could make his first career start against Houston (2-0) if Garoppolo cant go. In that situation, receiver Julian Edelman would be the emergency option.It didnt stop an onslaught of Garoppolo-related health questions on Tuesday. It drove Belichick to the point of agitation as he was pressed about Garoppolos status.He has been looked at. He has been treated, like every other player, Belichick said.As inquiries persisted, he made it clear that whatever is going on with Garoppolo, what was best for his health would take precedence.Im a football coach. Im not a doctor, Belichick said.But he does have a reputation of being a master of misdirection.Texans coach Bill OBrien has seen Belichick in action up close as a former Patriots assistant from 2007 to 2011.I think we have to be ready for their roster, OBrien said. We have to understand the skill sets on their roster.He also has memories of Edelman, a former college quarterback, showing off his skills during Patriots practices. OBrien was there when they initially drafted Edelman.He was a shotgun, wildcat quarterback at Kent State -- and really good at it, OBrien said. I can remember doing some of those things with him over the couple of years I was with him in practice there. So I know that he can do that stuff.There are also wild card players than can come into play as well, with OBrien noting that receiver Danny Amendola can also throw the ball.OBrien also has lots of respect for Brissett, a big load at 6-foot-4, 235 pounds, who he said looked very comfortable in the extended minutes he got during the preseason. It presents yet another preparation challenge for a Houston defense that has held its opponents under 15 points in each of their two victories over Chicago aand Kansas City.ddddddddddddTexans quarterback Brock Osweiler has respect for the position that both New England quarterbacks are navigating while trying to seize opportunities afforded to them because of the unavailability of a sure Hall of Fame quarterback.Osweiler, after all, just left a situation in Denver in which he found himself sharing time with former Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. Its a setup that required both patience and discipline.I do know what Jimmys going through right now. Ive been in those shoes, Osweiler said. I was in those shoes for three and half years before I really got my opportunity. I say patience because thats a long time to sit and not play.The approach always must be the same, he said.Every single day you need to earn your spot on the roster, Osweiler said. Just from the way Jimmys been playing, I can tell he hasnt wasted a single day. Whether I was the backup or I was playing last year, I wanted to show up and get better every single day...There was a coach that told me `If youre not getting better, youre getting replaced.Game notesTight end Rob Gronkowski was again a limited practice participant Tuesday as he works his way back from the hamstring injury that caused him to miss the first two games. He initially came out to Tuesday in full pads, but was sent back to the locker room to change his gear for helmets and sweatpants workout. I havent been in full pads for a while, so I kind of felt like I wanted to get used to it, he said. I wasnt allowed to wear them, so I had to take them off. He said he wants to play this week. Its not just up to me... and its not Thursday yet. ... Linebacker Donta Hightower was upgraded to a limited participant on Tuesday, his first practice since sitting all of last week and Monday with a knee injury. Fellow linebacker Jonathan Freeny was an addition to the injury list, limited by a shoulder injury. Defensive lineman Trey Flowers (shoulder) was also a limited participant, along with guard Jonathan Cooper (foot).
