Why is Wednesday "Big Wednesday"?


For a number of reasons:

  • Emirates Team New Zealand is one win away from winning the Louis Vuitton Cup and challenging Alinghi for the America's Cup. No one in the history of the Louis Vuitton Cup has ever gone from 4-0 down to win 5-4. Those Kiwis should be ready to clinch this tomorrow.
  • The Anaheim Ducks, established in 1994, are one win away from getting their first Stanley Cup, and they can win it by defeating the Ottawa Senators at the Honda Center. The franchise is only 13 years old, and for a young franchise, this would make history. Oddly enough, the Angels will be facing the Twins at Angel Stadium, but it will be at 12:35 p.m. to allow the fans to head to the Honda Center afterwards.
  • Toronto FC has a chance to show the doubters that they are formidable, when they face off against Juan Pablo Angel and Red Bull New York.
  • Canada has a chance to show that the decision the Canadian Soccer Association made was warranted, as they open up their Gold Cup campaign against Costa Rica.
  • The Olyroos are one point away from advancing to the final round of the AFC qualification for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Crushing Jordan would be most preferred.
