SEATTLE -- Hundreds of thousands of notoriously loud
Seahawks fans cranked up the volume Wednesday, cheering,
chanting and going berserk during a parade and ceremony
to celebrate the first Super Bowl victory in the history
of the franchise. The mood in Seattle was electrified as
the parade featuring the NFL champions began near the
Space Needle and made its way to CenturyLink Field, the
home of the team. At a ceremony inside the stadium, the
team thanked its loyal followers -- the 12th Man --
capping a day of boisterous celebration that drew an
estimated 700,000 revelers to Seattle. Players were
introduced by the order of their jersey numbers and ended
with No. 3, quarterback Russell Wilson, who walked onto
the field pumping the Lombardi Trophy in the air to
thunderous applause. "Our plan is to win another one for
you next year," Wilson said later. Coach Pete Carroll led
the crowd in a "Seahawks! Seahawks!" chant and said the
team will be back. "Were just getting warmed up, if you
know what Im talking about," he said. Nick Sutton watched
the parade from Westlake Center and considered it a
highlight when he threw a football to one of the players
who threw it back to him. "Its surreal. Its hard to
believe. Seeing this now, its finally sinking in," he
said. Hundreds of thousands of fan lined the streets of
downtown Seattle early in the day and cheered as the
players rolled by. Thousands of students apparently
skipped school to attend. Seattle Public Schools said
more than 25 per cent of the districts 51,000 students
were absent in the morning. By comparison, about 5 per
cent were absent the day before. The school district also
said 565 teachers were absent, far more than usual. "This
is a historical event, once in a lifetime. To not show up
would be blasphemy," said Jesse Lake, 36, a carpenter
from Port Orchard, who stood in the packed parking lot
outside CenturyLink Field to greet the team as they
arrived. Shawn Cooper and Marlana Studebaker of Covington
staked out a spot hours before the parade started and
displayed supersized photo cutouts of Wilson and
cornerback Richard Sherman, prompting many fans to stop
and take photos. "This was a long-awaited win. Its well
worth the wait," Cooper said. "Theyre years ahead of
their time, which makes me believe theres another one
coming." Dakota Heaphy, 20, and friend Ellie Hergert, 20,
drove all night from Cheyenne, Wyo. -- more than 1,400
miles away. "My boss is a Broncos fan and said we kicked
their butts and deserved to go," Hergert said. Revelers
packed the 2-mile route, wearing blue and green wigs,
waving flags, scarves and signs, and breaking out into
song and dance. The Washington National Guard chauffeured
many of the players in Humvees and other military
vehicles under blue, sunny skies in cold temperatures.
Elected officials rode along in amphibious vehicles used
to take tourists around the city. Players enjoyed the
celebration as much as the fans. Running back Marshawn
Lynch sat on the hood of a vehicle carrying the Sea Gals
cheerleaders. He tossed Skittles -- his favourite treat -
- into the crowd. Other Seahawks players threw jerseys
and T-shirts to fans while waving blue "12" flags as a
sign of gratitude. Boisterous fans observed a "moment of
loudness" at 12:12 p.m. Crowds also gathered in Spokane,
Olympia and elsewhere in the state to celebrate the first
championship in the 38-year history of the franchise.
Many fans had camped out overnight to reserve front-row
seats along the route, braving freezing temperatures.
Others perched on window sills and balconies, climbed
trees and pillars, or sat on sturdier shoulders to get a
better view. At Westlake Center, smartphones and cameras
were thrust into the air whenever players rolled by.
Seattle city officials asked the public to keep cellphone
use to a minimum to keep lines free for emergency use.
There were some reported difficulties with 911 calls
getting through, said Jeff Reading, a spokesman for the
mayor. Chris Hoops, a sales worker from Everett, and his
school-aged daughters left home at 7 a.m. to get a good
spot. The girls, 11-year-old Emily and 8-year-old Bella,
were bundled in sleeping bags at his feet. They warmed up
when they were asked whether they were sorry about
missing school. They shouted "No!" in unison. "I like the
Seahawks," Emily said. "They were really good this
season."

the Magic Box tennis centre. The ninth-ranked Russian
looked to be cruising before McHale broke late in the
second set to tie the match and then took her commanding
lead in the final set after breaking Sharapova.

The defending champions’ roller coaster season included
trading offensive star Percy Harvin in the midst of the
team’s 3-3 start. That move that reportedly irked
several Seahawk players, but one management saw necessary
to save the team’s chemistry.AMMAN, Jordan - Uruguay
looks almost certain to qualify for the 2014 World Cup
after crushing Jordan 5-0 in Ammian on Wednesday in the
first leg of their intercontinental playoff. Goals from
Maxi Pereira, Cristian Stuani, Nicolas Lodeiro, Cristian
Rodriguez and Edinson Cavani have put Uruguay firmly in
control ahead of the second leg in Montevideo next week.
Luis Suarez set up Pereiras 22nd minute opener, and
Stuani made it 2-0 just before halftime. Jordan had long
spells of possession in the second half but was
vulnerable on the counter-attack. Lodeiro slotted in from
the edge of the box in the 69th minute and an unmarked
Rodriguez hit a crisp volley from close range in the
78th. Cavani steered a free kick into the top right
corner of the net in stoppage time as victory turned into
a rout. "This result will put us in a good position for
the second leg," Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez said. "We
will play with the same formation to honour the Uruguayan
fans who will fill the stadium next Wednesday, as I heard
that 60,000 tickets were sold." Jordans Egyptian coach
Hossam Hassan said he was "fully responsible for this
result" and "satisfied with the performance of my
players." "I wished the Jordanian fans had seen their
team win, but this is what happened," Hassan added. He
said the squad would leave for Uruguay on Thursday.
Pereira pounced to open the scoring after a header by
Cavani was parried by Jordan gooalkeeper Mohammad
Shatnawi and Stuani made it 2-0 after collecting a pass
from Lodeiro.dddddddddddd Jordan showed more
determination in the second half, with its best chance
falling to Adnan Hasan, whose effort flew past the post.
But Jordans defence proved helpless as Lodeiro increased
Uruguays lead, Rodriguez fired in the fourth and Cavani
completed the rout with a free kick that left Shatnawi
rooted to the spot. Jordans King Abdullah II and members
of his royal family were among the 25,000 spectators at
the Amman International Stadium. Their national team has
never reached the World Cup and struggled on Wednesday to
compete against Uruguay, a semifinalist at the 2010 World
Cup in South Africa that finished fifth in South American
qualifying. The defeat followed extensive preparations in
Jordan for the game. The king donated $500,000 toward the
cost of the teams preparations, while Jordan Television
held a one-day telethon that raised $2.8 million. The
fever also spread to the UAE where Sheikh Mohammed Bin
Rashid Al Maktoum and Princess Haya offered a private
plane to fly the Jordan team to Uruguay for the second
leg. Security was tightened for the match in Amman, where
traffic was diverted away from the stadium, causing
suffocating jams. Cars honking horns, despite the heavy
defeat, were draped with the Jordanian flag and portraits
of their players. Tickets for the match were sold at five
times their face value on the black market.
