OTTAWA - The Ottawa Redblacks playoff hopes were dashed a long time ago, but that doesnt mean they wouldnt like to make someone elses life a little more difficult. Sam Mills Jersey .The Redblacks (2-13) host Montreal (7- Friday night at TD Place and would love to make the Alouettes road to an East Division title a lot tougher.Montreal is currently tied with Hamilton (7- for the lead in the East.The Redblacks, losers of their last two, will have their work cut out for them as the Alouettes have won their last four games and have defeated Ottawa twice this season.I enjoy playing the Alouettes and beating the Alouettes and hopefully thats what we do tomorrow, said linebacker Jason Pottinger. Weve let them beat us twice this season and its not a good feeling. Its a not good feeling losing to anybody, but I really hate losing to Montreal.Earlier this season both the Redblacks and Alouettes were struggling to find any success, but Montreal has turned its season around while the Redblacks continue to struggle.They started off slow just like we did, but found a way to start pulling off the wins, Pottinger said. Its something we couldnt figure out, but weve got three games left and weve got a chance to prove that well be a team to be reckoned with next season.Much of the Alouettes success coincides with quarterback Jonathan Crompton taking over. Crompton comes to Ottawa with a 6-1 record to his credit, although he hasnt posted great numbers against the Redblacks.In the two victories against the Ottawa, hes 29-for-54 (53.7 per cent) for 426 yards with three interceptions and no touchdown passes.The previous two games between these teams were anything but pretty, and Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris anticipates much of the same for Friday.Its been two tight battles against Montreal, Burris said. Its a game Im definitely looking forward to. It was a physical game last time and there were some knick-knack things that happened here and there and those guys have a hot streak going on right now.The Redblacks are expected to give rookie backup quarterback Danny OBrien some playing time during Fridays game as they would like to get a better look at the 24-year-old.Notes: Jonathan Williams will replace Jeremiah Johnson at RB for Fridays game, John Delahunt will replace James Green and DL Moton Hopkins will be a game time decision. The Redblacks will post their eighth straight sellout this season on Friday. Fans are asked to arrive early to the game to ensure everyone is in their seat for a pre-game tribute.

The Heat reached that mark Saturday night when they ruined the Philadelphia 76ers home opener.SYDNEY - Australias victory over South Korea in the Asian Cup final on Saturday capped a remarkable period for a nation which is only just awakening to the possibilities that membership of Asia provides — on and off the field.Inside three months Australia has catapulted itself to the forefront of the Asian football confederation, the worlds largest.Watched by a 76,385-strong crowd, Australias 2-1 defeat of two-time champion South Korea in extra time at Sydneys Olympic stadium was the countrys first Asian Cup title since moving to the Asian zone from Oceania in 2006.It continued a run of strong performances at the quadrennial continental championships for Australia, which includes a final appearance in 2011 where it eventually lost to Japan 1-0 in extra time.The goal should be for this confederation to break the European and South American monopoly on the World Cup, said Australia coach Ange Postecoglou after guiding the Socceroos to its breakthrough victory. This tournament here, its a great achievement but its not the end of the journey. It is the beginning for us.Im not going to put any limits on this group of players. Whatever we do, weve set the standard here today.The Asian Cup was the first major football tournament to be hosted by Australia and provided some much-needed positive news after the controversial 2022 World Cup bidding process that saw Australia lose out to Qatar.FIFA President Sepp Blatters arrival at the official medal presentation after the final triggered boos from home fans, eager to voice their displeasure at the tainted governing body.The tournament, though, was well supported by the general Australian public, with over 640,000 people attending the 32 gamess in five cities — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra and Newcastle — a 50 per cent increase on attendances at the previous edition in Qatar in 2011.

The organizers also boasted of record television audiences across the continent.In China, Asias biggest market, the cumulative average viewership for the event was 182 million by the end of the semifinal stage and the cumulative reach totalled 950 million. The AFC cited its data from CSM Media Research - KantarSport Asia.Television viewership in the host nation exceeded one million for its semifinal victory over the United Arab Emirates, making it one of the most widely watched football matches in the countrys history.I think its going to do a lot of things, said Australia winger Mathew Leckie, who plays for second-tier German club FC Ingolstadt. Its incredible the amount of people that came tonight. For me I think its the biggest Australian success in sport.Champions of Asia, its quite incredible and you know you could see how much everyone loved tonight.At club level, Australia has also had a breakthrough year in Asian competition.In November, Australia club side Western Sydney Wanderers, coached by former Socceroo Tony Popovic, claimed the countrys first Asian club-competition silverware by beating the more-fancied Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia 1-0 on aggregate in the Asian Champions League.We came into this confederation knowing it would be a huge challenge, the Matildas won the (womens) Asian Cup (in 2010), then the Wanderers in the Champions League and now weve won, Postecoglou said.I said from day one we wont take a backward step from anyone. We dont do it in another sport and we dont do it in football. ' ' '
