And we're off! Smashing win with a healthy points difference.
Good stuff Emerald

Wow, really wasn't expecting that! Not sure what happened to Canada but wont complain! Role on the Swiss

From Cormag001's 'World Cup Coverage' thread in the National Team section. Looks like that result didn't go unnoticed Emerald.

Qualifying Group G
Canada 28 - Ireland 56
Switzerland 21 - Finland 0

This one has to get some attention. The 8th ranked Canadians not only lost, but were blown out of the water by the Irish. The heavy under-dog Irish team put up over 600 yards of offense on the way to a stunning 56-28 win. The Irish players were surprisingly calm after the game, as if they expected to win. "We're pleased with the performance, but we've got a long way to go yet." Irish QB Fergus Burke said. Switzerland won as expected, showing that great defense still exists and shutting out the Finnish team.

That was a nice write up overall by Cormag.

That win will count for nothing though unless we back it up with another victory on Friday. A win against the Swiss and we will never have a better opportunity of qualifying for the WC.
