Chelsea's Eden Hazard (L) challenges Schalke 04's goalkeeper Ralf Fahrmann during their Champions League soccer match at Stamford Bridge in London September 17 Women's Nike Shox OZ D Black Pink For Sale , 2014.
Chelsea wasted chance after chance and had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Schalke 04 in their opening Champions League Group G match at Stamford Bridge that made a mockery of both teams' early season form.

Cesc Fabregas scored his first goal for Chelsea to put them ahead after 11 minutes but the London side, who have won all four Premier League games, were pegged back when Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored a superb equaliser for Schalke Women's Nike Shox Avenue Black Pink For Sale , who are without a win in Germany this season.

Fabregas was fortunate Croatian referee Ivan Bebek allowed play to continue after he appeared to foul Max Meyer at the start of the move that led to his goal, which came when he fired past goalkeeper Ralf Fahrmann with a lofted angled drive.

Didier Drogba wasted a great chance to seal victory for Chelsea but justice appeared to be done when Fabregas lost the ball at the start of the move that led to Schalke's 62nd minute equaliser, which Huntelaar fired in from the edge of the box.

"We had more than a couple of fantastic chances to win the game but we got a point. It is not the best result but it is a result Women's Nike Shox NZ White Jade For Sale ," Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho told Sky Sports.

"In the second half they scored, we had a good reaction and I have nothing to complain about with my players.

"(Drogba) missed the goal by a few inches and that would have been 2-0 but football is like this. Didier Drogba is not crying because of that miss."

Chelsea dominated for much of the match and should have gone into the break with two goals on the board but, after scoring in the 11th minute Women's Nike Shox TLX Black Pink For Sale , Fabregas was guilty of a bad miss in the 37th when he skied the ball over the bar from 10 metres out.

Suddenly Schalke, who had been second-best, and understandably cautious after losing 3-0 home and away to Chelsea in the group stage last season Women's Nike Shox OZ D White Purple For Sale , came to life and had two good chances of their own in the last few minutes of the half.

Kevin-Prince Boateng forced Thibaut Courtois into a diving save with a swerving shot smashed with the outside of his right foot, before Julian Draxler fired wide with the goal gaping just before the half ended.

Drogba, making his first start since returning to Chelsea Men's Nike Shox NZ White Black For Sale , should have doubled their lead after 60 minutes but saw his angled drive go past the far post before Loic Remy, who had only replaced Drogba a few minutes earlier, saw a shot headed off the line by Roman Neustadter.

Eden Hazard then had two more opportunities to win it for Chelsea but even the introduction of Diego Costa Men's Nike Shox NZ White Blue For Sale , who had scored seven goals in his first four games, could not break the deadlock after coming on in the 73rd minute.

TOKYO, May 19 (Xinhua) -- Japan's civic groups held a rally here on Thursday, submitting 12 million signatures demanding repeal of a controversial security law to the Diet through opposition parties.

Last November, various civic groups launched a public campaign in a coordinated effort aiming to collect 20 million signatures to scrap the war legislation. They have collected 12 million signatures so far from all trades and professions through visiting people's homes and mailing.

Representatives from the Anti-War Committee of 1,000, the Scholars' Association of Anti-Security-Laws, the Association of Japan's Visually Handicapped People and participants of the rally submitted their signatures to the Diet members from the Democratic Party, the Communist Party, the Social Democratic Party and the People's Life Party during the rally.

Shingo Fukuyama, representative of the Anti-War Committee of 1,000, stressed at the gathering that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government put Japan's pacifism and constitutionalism in danger after WWII.

"It is unbearable and the 12 million signatures are refelctive of true opinion of the peace-loving Japanese people," Fukuyama said.

Scholars, lawyers and participants of the rally called on the opposition parties to strengthen their cooperation and the Japanese people to take an active part in the voting so as to overthrow the Abe administration in the up-coming Upper House election.
