Sporting Sensations

[Glennsallnighter]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't believe it!

Underdogs Ireland have beaten Australia 15 - 6!

Well done to Ireland and of course commiserations to a gallant Australian team.

[Troubadour]

I had a feeling they would pull something out of the bag. You could tell how fired up the Irish side were - especially Brian O'Driscoll. It's his last World Cup, so he wanted to leave a mark! I was on the edge of my seat, cheering them on. So, so happy that they won. A truly courageous performance. I hope England show the same intensity, grit and passion tomorrow.

[Glennsallnighter]

Well done to England too Troub!

I'm very happy for you.

[Troubadour]

Thanks, Lis - I'm relieved that we got a win today. It should have been a given against Georgia, but after England's last performance, I was a bit nervous! Anyway, we had some discipline issues, but overall, we did fairly well. I do worry about how we will compete with teams of a higher level if we don't improve, but for today, we secured a win with a big points margin. I'm not going to be too critical. :)

Switching to NFL, I would have loved to have seen the Colts and the Cardinals get wins today. Unfortunately that didn't happen, although the Cards only lost by a single point. I feel for the Colts at the moment - I really hope they can get a win to get some confidence back, but they're obviously having a difficult time. Got my fingers crossed that Peyton makes a good and full recovery after his neck surgery. It looks like he will be out for a while yet, though.

Well its been a great week for Sport if you're from Dublin (a Dub). The Dublin senior Gaelic football team made it into their first All Ireland final in years, against the old enemy Kerry. Dublin and Kerry between them have won more All Irelands than the other 32 county teams put together. Tickets for the event were retailing at over €1000 each coming up to Sunday's final.

The match was excellent, with the lead changing 5 times over the course, and with 6 minutes to go Kerry were starting to inch away. Suddenly Dublin got a goal (3 points) and another point to draw level. At fulltime the teams were level and remained so for a minute and a half of the injury 2 mins extra. The Dublin were awarded a free kick 'in'. They pushed all their men forward and got their keeper up to take the free. the whole city was silent as he kicked the ball.................................

............................... over the bar!!!!! The whistle blew just at the restart, and Dublin won the Sam Maguire cup for the first time in 16 years.

The city has been celebrating since, the kids have forgotten what homework is and there was a civic reception attended by 40,000 people (myself and Chris included) last night.

Here's a few pics of the revelry!

Dublin Captain Bryan Cullen lifts the cup.

My St. Louis Cardinals are in a battle for a spot in the National League Division baseball playoffs and during the game the other night this little guy made an appearance on the field. You've probably seen it already, but just in case:

Wish us luck. Tonight will decide who goes. :pray:

LET'S GO CARDS!

Cardinals Country is in party mode today after last night's clinch of the National League pennant.

St.Louis has issued a Freese Warning to the Texas Rangers! :wink:

Relief and celebration - after 24 years, the Rugby World Cup is finally ours again:

And a glimpse (from the victory parade) of the atmosphere we've had in New Zealand over the last seven weeks. So many supporters have travelled so far to see their teams; so many players have played their hearts out.

CONGRATS NEW ZEALAND!

[Glennsallnighter]

Fantastic! Congratulations to all New Zealanders! You can be justifyably proud of your All Blacks :thumbsup:

[Freypower]

Yes, I must add my congratulations too. The much hyped Wallabies failed to deliver & New Zealand are worthy winners.

While I'm at it although Liverpool's form is somewhat patchy, what a fantastic result this was:

Manchester United 1 MANCHESTER CITY 6!!!

I thought of you when I saw that in the paper, FP! There was a photo of Ferguson looking absolutely gutted...

Yeah, and for once he couldn't blame the referee or the weather or the financial crisis or the usual stuff he comes up with. I believe the German word for how I felt was schadenfreude (taking pleasure in the discomfort of others)..... :cheers:

I've seen the game in an summary and the result was great!:grin:

So, where are all the Border St.Louis Cardinals fans anyway? Surely I'm not the only one? :lol:

We must win tonight.

Yup, we rallied! :blueblob:

Now there is a Deep Freese Warning in St. Louis tonight!

[sodascouts]

I may have gotten my PhD at Purdue but I did my undergrad at Texas A&M University and I'll always be a Texas Aggie in my heart. A Thanksgiving tradition in our family has always been watching Texas A&M play their longstanding rival University of Texas on the football field.

Sadly, this year is the last time these two teams will face each other as members of the same conference. Texas A&M has changed conferences and any games played against UT would be essentially exhibition games. At this point, the next TAMU/UT game might not be until 2019!

So, tonight of all nights, I hope with all my heart that the Aggies will SAW VARSITY'S HORNS OFF and end this rivalry victorious!

GIG 'EM TEXAS AGGIES!!!

Guess how the game turned out?

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Bummer, Soda. For me, in the NFL games, not a single team I wanted to have win, did.

[Freypower]

How sweet it is. First Liverpool beat Chelsea in the Premiership. Then Liverpool knock Chelsea out of the Carling Cup 2 - 0. And now.. Crystal Palace, the London team I support:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/nov/30/manchester-united-crystal-palace-carling-cup

YES! GO EAGLES! (Yes, that is their nickname).

On a sad note though, the greatest player for my Rugby League team, the Sydney Roosters, Arthur Beetson, died of a heart attack. This is only of interest to me, but RIP Big Artie.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I finally finished out the birthday celebrations tonight (yes, it lasted a month). Some friends got us tickets to the Penguins/Capitals hockey game at the Verizon Center in DC for my birthday. And to make it better, my Pens won!! 2-1. Made for a very good night!

[Freypower]

The Euro 2012 draw has not been kind to Ireland:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2011/dec/02/ireland-euro-2012?intcmp=239

England have Sweden, France & Ukraine. The Group Of Death is Germany, Holland, Portugal, Denmark. Wow!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/interactive/2011/dec/02/euro-2012-complete-interactive-guide

[Glennsallnighter]

Yep! I've already come to that conclusion FP. However those travelling are pleased that all our group matches are based in Poland, as it will be easier to travel there than to Ukraine. Many intend going via Camper Van.

Our au pair is German and has the idea that Germany have an easy draw. I'm not so sure!

[Freypower]

I'm happy again because Liverpool knocked their great rivals Man Utd out of the FA Cup 2-1. They are also in the Carling Cup final after beating Man City. So it's possible that Liverpool could win two trophies while all Man Utd have left are the actual premiership & the Europa League (and I can't see them winning that).

It's been a pretty disappointing season overall but....

[Glennsallnighter]

The boys in Laurasia class support Liverpool. Therefore the girls all support Man U!

Tomorrow should be interesting...........

FP, glad your team are through

[Troubadour]

Congratulations to Liverpool!

I'm really excited about the Super Bowl on Sunday (I made sure I am off work so I can stay up all night to watch it!) Also, the Six Nations rugby tournament starts at the weekend. :yay:

[EaglesKiwi]

The 6 Nations should be interesting coming so soon after the World Cup (oh, did I ever mention that New Zealand won that? :spin: I'm still excited, it was a VERY long time between drinks for us!!). Performances in October were a bit mixed, so it would be good to see some consistent form this year.

[EaglesKiwi]

I saw that heading on the news site and thought of you!

[Glennsallnighter]

Well done to Liverpool FP.

I'm looking forward to the 6 nations too! Ireland play Wales on Sunday. As Wales knocked us out of the World Cup this should be interesting.

In GAA football Dublin play their old rivals Kerry on Saturday evening and I've managed to get 4 tickets for that game. Should be entertaining!n

Enjoy the Superbowl over the weekend those of you who get to watch it!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Congratulations, HH (and your DH) on the Giants big win! We had a houseful of people all cheering them on!

[Windeagle]

Congrats, NY Giants fans! This New Englander concedes that the Giants played a better game. You can't miss as many passes as the Patriots did and expect to win.

Now... on to baseball season. Go Red Sox!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Now... on to baseball season. Go Red Sox!

I'll agree with you on this one, WE. My favorite team is the Pirates, of course, but I also follow the Red Sox.

[Glennsallnighter]

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NY GIANTS!!!!!

[Henley Honey]

That was a nail-biter of a game! Nice work, gentlemen.

[Troubadour]

Yes, congrats to the Giants! I stayed up to watch the whole thing. The Pats just didn't play well. Too many drops! I was pleased to see New York do it. Credit to Indy (home of my third favourite team - the Colts!) for hosting a great Super Bowl. Lucas Oil is a gorgeous stadium.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - I want to add my congratulations to the New York Giant - the Super Bowl XLVI World Champions!

What a terrific game!

[Troubadour]

Congratulations to Ireland, who beat Italy today 42-10 in the Six Nations rugby tournament.

Unfortunately England lost to Wales, but it was extremely close - a real nailbiter of a game. Considering this current England team is very young and very new (many of them made their Twickenham debuts today), they played incredibly well. I am excited about what they might achieve.

[Freypower]

Also spare a thought for Liverpool who are in the Carling Cup final against Cardiff City 4pm February 26 England time.

[Freypower]

So it went to penalties (3-2). Who cares?!!!

YOU KNOW IT!!!!!!!! I've been dancing around the house for days now! On a lesser note, we get Paul Martin back tonight as well (illness) and Kris LeTang will return soon, if not tonight then probably Saturday.

Bring on the Rangers!

Yes... such an awful thing to happen. Twenty-three years old. My thoughts are with him.

That was a shocking incident. I hope he makes a full recovery.

Zelda, where are you? Your Sabres, my Pens! Let's go Penguins!!

ugh! I'm here... and not very happy. I blame my great neice for the loss. She will be 15 on Sun. Last week I was at her house and she told me her mother got her tickets for the Penguins game for her birthday present because she now loves Sidney Crosby!... can you imagine my shock? This girl has been well indoctrinated as a Sabre fan since she was a baby and now this? I said to her "Does this mean you're not a Sabre fan anymore?" She said No...I said to her "does this mean Thomas Vanek isn't your favorite any more?" She said No... but I think Sidney Crosby is sexy. I almost died!... So I blame her for the loss tonight. :hilarious:

The game was tied in the first period when I posted. It was very stressful to listen to (I listen on XM when they aren't nationally televised). Everyone here in Capitals-land is very happy, which actually makes me kinda nauseous. I'm glad to hear that your niece is on the right track!!! I imagine to a 15-yr old, Sid is sexy. Not to mention the best hockey player in the world...

[Henley Honey]

I've already checked VA, and there are two sports bars withing walking distance of our Atlanta hotel. You'll be all set for the playoffs. :thumbsup:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

'Walking distance' is key! Now I just need to hope the games aren't on May 2 and May 4. And if the sports bars won't cooperate, the playoffs are streamed live on Verizon Wireless smartphones!!

No; 2 -1. Congratulations to them on getting to the Final. They will be in the Europa League because they won the Carling Cup.

Darn those Rangers...:evil:
Zelda

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I know, that was a heck of a game. For them to score with 6 seconds left, then draw the penalty before the end of the game to get a power play in OT. The Caps had a bad few minutes there.

Zelda, are you watching this hockey game? What an insane game! I can't believe the Coyotes just blew a 5 on 3.

yeah I'm watching hockey...I've got one TV on hockey and one on Leno!

I can't believe the finals don't start til 5/30 and the earliest the cup can be won is 6/6...such a long playoff season...I'm ready to see my Sabres...Oct. seems so far off.:sigh:

Well, the Rangers and Devils still have at least two games to go yet, right? So the 30th makes sense. Kinda bummed that the Coyotes lost. Wonder who I can jinx next?

I wasn't...it's storming AGAIN and the power kept flickering AGAIN. But I checked the score and it's looking good!

[Troubadour]

My rugby union team, Harlequins, won the Aviva Premiership today for the very first time. The club is 140 years old. It was a fantastic game and I am just ecstatic. They played incredibly well all season and totally deserve this victory! LOVE THE QUINS! A special mention to Chris Robshaw. He is my age (26) and he has captained both Harlequins and England to recent victory. He has a great head on his shoulders.
