BEIJING -- Canadas Kevin Koe will have to settle for playing for bronze at the world mens curling championship. The Calgary skip fell 10-8 to Swedens Oskar Eriksson in semifinal action Saturday and will face Switzerlands Peter de Cruz for the bronze medal (Saturday at 10pm et/7pm pt on TSN2). Earlier, Koe lost 3-2 to Norways Thomas Ulsrud in the Page 1-2 playoff game. "It was a bad day," said Koe. "We played pretty decent for the most part, I thought we were throwing them good. "But big misses at the wrong time, and those will obviously kill you in the big games." The Canadian team -- including third Pat Simmons, second Carter Rycroft and lead Nolan Thiessen -- took an early lead by opening with a deuce. But Sweden rallied with four in the second after a freeze attempt by Koe came up short. "Just one bad miss -- thats all it took," said Koe. "If I made my last one, we probably only give up one or two. "Just a bad miss at the wrong time." The teams traded singles the next two ends. Canada missed a chance to tie it with two in the fifth and Sweden took complete control with three in the sixth after Koes last-rock freeze attempt was heavy. The Canadians scored two in the seventh and stole one in the eighth but thats as close as theyd get. "Im a little devastated right now," said Rycroft. "I dont know what it was, if it was a lack of confidence on our part or still not trusting the ice. "But we missed way too many shots on the wrong side. Good curlers missing easy shots is not going to win you many games." Canada has won 49 world curling championship medals, including 34 gold. Nine times Canadians have settle for silver and bronze on six occasions. "Well show up and try our hardest to win," said Koe. "I mean, itll be hard, were disappointed -- we came here thinking wed be in that gold-medal game . . . but well be trying to win a medal." Canada also lost 6-2 to Sweden in the round-robin portion of the tournament. Sweden will face Ulsrud in the final (Saturday night at 3am et/Midnight pt on TSN). Ulsrud, who finished second to Koe at the 2010 world championship, will be seeking his first title in 10 appearances at the event.

Spurs have not finished ahead of Arsenal in the league since 1995, but they will bring that run to an end should they secure a point against Newcastle next weekend.Arsene Wenger has had the upper hand in every year of his Arsenal reign against a stream of Tottenham managers. Pochettino says Spurs have improvements to make But Pochettino is determined not to obsess about local bragging rights and has urged all at White Hart Lane to adopt a similar approach.And after falling just short of new English champions Leicester this season, Pochettino is determined to secure the title at the next attempt.Following Tottenhams 2-1 reverse to Southampton, Pochettino said: I think that I dont care about Arsenal, I want to win the league, I want to be on top but Arsenal I do not care about. When Spurs last pipped Arsenal We recall the last time Spurs finished above their rivals Sure I want to be above them, but this I think is normal.dddddddddddd But to try to improve, to try and be bigger, we need to concentrate on us and not look what is happening with our neighbours.We feel disappointed, I think that our last game at home we want to win but we are disappointed.As for what his team need to improve on for next season, Pochettino said: I think we need to put our energy in trying to win games like today. Toby Alderweireld scores in Tottenhams 2-2 draw with Arsenal in March It does not matter if it is Southampton, Arsenal or Chelsea, we want to win, we want to be above them and now we are the same next season too.Two shots on target for them and they scored twice and we scored only once with 70 per cent possession but in football you never know.It has been a good experience for us to learn from this season. We improved from last season but we need to still improve and try to improve and try to be better. Also See: Davis double downs Spurs Pochettino: We lacked solidity Pochs five year plan?
