TORONTO -- Ricky Ray will have plenty of time to savour the first 500-yard passing performance of his CFL career. Vans Shoes Outlet . Ray completed 39-of-45 passes -- including a club-record 21 straight -- for 505 yards and three TDs as the Toronto Argonauts clinched first in the East Division with a 36-21 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night. Toronto (11-6) will finish the regular season hosting the Montreal Alouettes next Friday night and head coach Scott Milanovich said Ray wont dress for that contest. That means Rays next game for the defending Grey Cup champions will be Nov. 17 in the East final at Rogers Centre. "I can tell you right now Ricky Ray will not be playing next week," Milanovich said emphatically. "Hell be standing beside me on the sidelines without gear on, we can end the speculation right now." Milanovichs decision also means Ray will finish the season with a 77.7 per cent completion average, breaking the CFL single-season mark of 73.98 per cent held by Calgary offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson. Predictably, the humble Ray downplayed the career performance. "It was just one of those nights we had a lot of opportunities to make plays and were able to finish most of them," Ray said. "But we left a lot out there, we had a couple of turnovers and I missed Chad Owens on an easy touchdown. "We still have a lot of things to clean up." Discipline is certainly one of them as Toronto was flagged 14 times for 139 yards. Winnipeg wasnt much better with 12 penalties for 95 yards in a very chippy affair that saw both teams penalized often for vicious hits on a night when players, coaches and officials all had pink-coloured apparel as part of the CFLs initiative to bring awareness to womens cancers. "Weve got to be more disciplined," Milanovich said. "To win a game with that many penalties just isnt going to happen very often. "If we keep having the penalties we had tonight we wont go far in November." Winnipeg coach Tim Burke wasnt pleased with all the penalties either, saying hell be addressing it with his team. "There is going to be some light pocketbooks this week," he said. "I chalk it up to being unable to control your emotions. "Football is an emotional game but you have to be able to control your emotions." Ray broke the Argos record of 19 straight completions in the third and finished one short of the CFL mark when he threw an incompletion to running back Chad Kackert, back after missing two games with a shoulder injury. But Argos receivers Jason Barnes and Andre Durie both lost fumbles deep in Winnipegs zone following big completions by Ray that helped the Bombers (3-14) hang around. But Ray cemented the win with a 69-yard TD pass to Dontrelle Inman at 12:16 of the fourth. On July 19, Ray set the CFL single-game passing accuracy record by completing 19-of-20 passes in a 35-19 win over Winnipeg before suffering a knee injury. Toronto finished atop the East Division for the first time since 07 and just the third time since 97. More importantly, the Argos cemented home-field advantage for the conference final by sweeping the home-and-home series with Winnipeg after dropping two straight games to Hamilton. "This was our goal at the start of the year to get that one playoff game at home and we were able to do it," Ray said. "There were stumbling blocks along the way but to rebound after the two losses to Hamilton and come back and get two big wins was big for this team." Rays brilliance before a Rogers Centre gathering of 18,478 overshadowed the nastiness of the contest. But there were some anxious moments in the first half when play was halted as Toronto defensive back Neiko Thorpe was treated for a head injury. Thorpe was hurt while tackling Winnipeg running back Will Ford. His head was immobilized and he was placed on a backboard, then a stretcher before being carted off the field. He was taken to hospital for examination and released after test results were negative. Winnipeg, 2-7 on the road this season, was eliminated from playoff contention with last weekends 26-20 home loss to Toronto. But Milanovich said his team fed off the criticism it received for not securing a more emphatic victory in Manitoba. "I dont think you can measure a teams will to win and the heart of a champion," Milanovich said. "Weve got a bunch of guys that are new but make no mistake theres a lot of champions still on that roster and these guys found a way to win. "You dont win 11 games by accident. Were young on defence, weve got eight new starters but I have faith were going to get this thing done. Ill stand shoulder to shoulder with this team anytime." Toronto boasted two 100-yard receivers in Inman (four catches, 152 yards) and Chad Owens (11 receptions, 105 yards). Kackert also had a solid return with 79 yards rushing on 11 carries and seven catches for 55 yards. "I thought Kack ran great, it was exactly what I was looking for," Milanovich said. "He was decisive, he was north and south, he picked a hole and he hit it, he sliced through the defence and brought that burst that we needed." Winnipeg quarterback Max Hall finished 17-of-32 passing for 257 yards and two TDs. Wallace Miles was the Bombers top receiver with six catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. "I thought our offence did a pretty good job," Burke said. "Defensively we didnt rush the passer very well and we didnt cover very well . . . thats why you give up 505 yards." For Miles, scoring his first-ever pro TD was a moral victory as it came with his mother, who made the trip from Georgia, in the stands. "Its very bittersweet," he said. "A milestone in my life but it came in a loss." Romby Bryant had the other two TDs for Toronto, which improved to 4-4 at home. Swayze Waters booted the converts, four field goals and a single. The other points came on a safety. Rory Kohlert had the other TD for Winnipeg. Sandro DeAngelis added the converts and two field goals while Mike Renaud kicked a single.

SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari announced his World Cup squad on Wednesday without any major surprises, choosing most of the players who won last years Confederations Cup. Scolaris 23-name list includes 16 players who were in the team that won last years warm-up tournament by beating world champion Spain in the final. It will be a squad inexperienced in World Cups, however, with only six players who featured in past tournaments. "We will have to pass our own experience to these players," said Scolari, who led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup title. The team will mix talented young stars such as Neymar and Oscar with more experienced players such as Julio Cesar, Dani Alves, David Luiz, Thiago Silva and Hulk. "We know that not everybody will agree with all the names, its normal," Scolari said. "But now that we have the 23 players, we would like to ask that our fans support all of them so together we can focus on our goal of winning the World Cup." The squad announcement was a high-profile event in Brazil, with television stations juggling their programing to broadcast it live. The Brazilian football federation said 870 journalists, many from overseas, were accredited for the event at a traditional concert house in Rio de Janeiro. The stage where Scolari spoke was set up in front of a Brazilian flag the size of a four-story building, according to the federation. "My childhood dream came true," Neymar said on social media site Instagram. "Today was one of the most anticipated days of my life. Its time to represent the entire country. Im completely moved, anxious and nervous. I want it to arrive soon." Five players from this years list were in the 2010 World Cup -- Cesar, Silva, Alves, Maicon and Ramires. Fred didnt make it to South Africa but was in the squad for the 2006 tournament in Germany. "I dont think this lack of World Cup experience will play a big part," Scolari said. "Our players have been gaining experience in their leagues in Europe and I dont think they will be affected by this too much, although in certain World Cup situations, having that experience would be important.

Veterans Kaka and Robinho -- the stars in the 2010 tournament -- still had hopes of playing in the tournament at home but were left off the list, as were former AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato and 34-year-old Ronaldinho, the 2002 world champion who missed out on his chance of making it to one last World Cup. Also missing were Atletico de Madrid defenders Miranda and Filipe Luis, as well as Liverpool midfielders Philippe Coutinho and Lucas Leiva. Paris Saint-Germain playmaker Lucas Moura, who played in the Confederations Cup, also was left out. Scolari had already confirmed nine players on the squad -- Luiz, Oscar, Ramires, Willian, Paulinho, Cesar, Silva, Fred and Neymar. He said there were only two spots remaining in the team, with the doubts related to the third goalkeeper and the fourth central defender, positions that were filled by Atletico Mineiro goalkeeper Victor and Napoli defender Henrique. "We know we have a big responsibility and we know that there are a lot of expectations," Fred said. "We have to turn that into motivation so we can go after this sixth world title." Seven alternates will be announced in the coming days. Brazils starting 11 in the World Cup will likely be the same that played in the Confederations Cup. Brazil has won 13 of its last 14 matches, the only loss coming in a friendly against Switzerland after the warm-up tournament. "Its important that today everybody can name most of the Brazilian starters," Scolari said. "We cant know for sure if we will use exactly the same team, it will depend on how these players will show up, but nine or 10 are certain to be in the starting lineup again." Brazil is in Group A with Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon. It will open against Croatia on June 12 in Sao Paulo.
