Keep fighting Northern Ireland.

Indeed. Go Northern Ireland!

(And Latvia. Go you too!)

Good luck at hockey shinan 8) or should i say good luck getting to the finals because that's where we always beat you

Pull an Israel? Croatia beat us 2 - 0 the first time round, so it's very much an uphill battle for England.

Well, if England win they could go top of the group.

GREY CUP 2007*

The Battle of the Underdogs

The Grey Cup is this Sunday, Nov. 25th, in Toronto this year, with an all-prairie matchup between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

TSN Matchup page

This game is already being labaled a "Classic", as Saskatchewan and Winnipeg have a great rivalry, have the most die-hard fans in the league, and split their games this season with 1 win apiece.  The QB for both teams were the Most Outstanding Player nominations for the West and East Divisions (Kerry Joseph for Saskatchewan and Kevin Glenn for Winnipeg).  Furthermore, both teams came in as the underdog in their respective West- and East-Finals and toppled the first place teams while on the road.

Saskatchewan has had an unexpected break out year this year, since it was pegged from the start as a "building year" with a rookie head coach and a new GM, and a significantly different roster than last year.  The team managed to get the second-best record in the league (12-6-0), secured a home playoff game for the first time since 1988 and the first time to the Grey Cup final since 1997.  The 'Riders last won the Grey Cup in 1989.  This season was said to be a "Win" before the playoffs even started.  To be in the Grey Cup is insane.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are in their first appearance in the Grey Cup since 1990, which was also the year they won the Grey Cup.  After starting the year strong, and holding first in the East for a time, they faltered a little in the end to wind up second in the East.  They have 3 receivers with over 1,000 yards receiving and the second best running back in the league.  Unfortunately, they lost their QB (and the East's MVP nominate) to a broken arm in the 4th quarter of the East final.

Both teams are hungry for a Grey Cup (Sask last won in '89, the Bombers in '90), and the fans for both teams are rabid.  This game is going to be nuts.

Early Line is Saskatchewan by 21.

GO RIDERS GO!

*Canadian Football League (CFL)

Easy win for the Riders, Bomber's QB broke his arm.

Well, if England win they could go top of the group.

FAILED

Being probably the least patriotic Englishman in a several mile radius, all I can say is the writing was on the wall from the moment they appointed such a tactically inept manager (I never liked him even at Middlesborough, though that was more because he looks like a smug git)

Carson is young and inexperienced, and tbh the whole team have been rubbish from the beginning

Sweden made it ​! We should've won with more than 2-1 vs Latvia though but who cares we're in the euro champs!

btw fuck you david healy how do you feel now back in n.ireland. bitch.

We don't have to groan through the flags on cars, the "World Beaters" messages everywhere or idiotic chumps boasting how we've got the best team in the world!

All teams have this kind of 'support' in some shape or form.

O'Neill should've gotten the job the first time round.

Also Inq, basically you're saying it's different because Scotland are underdogs and England arn't.

fffff fuck england they never win world cups they're so shit

Martin O'Neill has said no, as has Arsene Wenger. Lippi's distanced himself from it. Capello's expressed interest, while Harry Rednapp refuses to rule himself out.

UFC 79: Nemesis
December 29th, 2007

So, starting off. It seems Matt Serra is being pulled from the card due to a back injury. There's no word on whether Matt Hughes will still be on the card to face someone or not. So, that sort of kills some of the interest in this card. However..

The main event is still a dream match for anyone that's followed MMA for any amount of time and knows who the UFC is and PRIDE FC was.

Wanderlei Silva vs Chuck Liddell. Finally.

Either way, I'm seriously happy about this fight. They've teased it for almost 4 years now, and pretty much every MMA fan that I know of is going to be watching this fight one way or another. I'll be ordering it.
