In the last two Grey Cups one of the two teams was also the events host, and that team came out victorious in both contests. Nacho Fernandez Spain Jersey . Can the Saskatchewan Roughriders be the third consecutive team to play for the Championship in their own stadium, or will the Calgary Stampeders punch a ticket to their second straight Grey Cup? The Stamps won all but one of their contests at home in McMahon Stadium (a Week 13 loss to the Toronto Argonauts). In their three matchups against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Calgary won both of their home games. As challenging as it may seem, can the Riders overcome the odds and pull off the road upset? To win this game on the road Saskatchewan must limit the opportunities of Jon Cornish, the Western Division nominee for the CFLs Most Outstanding Player for the second time in as many years. The Riders need to dominate the ball-control game. They come to battle with a quality ground game of their own with Kory Sheets who comes into the game with as many 100-yard games as Cornish (12) impressive, considering that he played in two less games. Sheets (1598) finished second to Cornish (1813) in regular season rushing yardage. Saskatchewan displayed an efficient running performance last Sunday against the B.C. Lions, with the bulk of the team rushing yards (170) coming from quarterback Darian Durant (97). His effort included scampering for a clutch 35-yard run in the fourth quarter that brought the team into scoring range and converted into a 10-yard touchdown pass to Weston Dressler two plays later. A dual-threat at quarterback, Durant can not only pick apart a defence through the air (4,154 yards) but he also gained 369 yards on 8.8 yards per rush this season. Along with Sheets, who totaled 133 yards on 26 carries in Saskatchewans lone victory over Calgary (Week 2, 36-21), the pairing should be able to chew up yards and keep the clock moving. This strategy can keep Cornish on the sideline and away from producing evident from his 42 yards on eight carries in that Week 2 game.That task is easier said than done however. For Cornish, playing in front of the Calgary faithful has been somewhat of a motivating tool in his last three home appearances, gaining a total 447 yards, including a bruising 109 against the Riders in the Week 18s thrilling 29-25 victory. Coming off a weeks rest Can Cornish keep up the solid work?The quarterback situation in Calgary has been somewhat adverse with Kevin Glenn, Bo Levi Mitchell, and Drew Tate all doing quality jobs with their opportunities, but like last seasons playoff run Glenn will start and look to play well enough to keep the young promising pivots Tate and/or Mitchell on the sideline. Calgarys key is to allow Cornish to take the pressure off of the passers, who will be without standout receiver Marquay McDaniel, who they lost to an ankle injury. It is unknown if Stamps star receiver Nik Lewis will play, but he surprised many by returning to practice on Thursday. In the case that the Stamps are without Lewis, Joe West, Brad Sinopoli and Maurice Price could be expected return from injuries, joining Jeff Fuller, the teams late sensation and Jabari Arthur providing the interesting passing platoon a few more able pairs of mitts. If the Argos and Lions have proved anything in 2011 and 2012, its that one shouldnt bet against a team playing before their fans in the Grey Cup. Its the getting there however that will be the biggest challenge for Rider Nation to sit through in 2013. Who is going to win the Western Division Final to get to the 101st Grey Cup? Can Calgary make it there for their second time in a row, or can Saskatchewan continue the hometown championship trend?As always, Its Your! Call. Kieran Gibbs England Jersey . Brignac hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-0 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night. Kevin De Bruyne Jersey . -- Cleanthony Early scored 19 points and Tekele Cotton added 14 as No.It was quite a week for Canadian international Simeon Jackson. It started in front of 75,000 people at the world famous Old Trafford when he came off the bench for Norwich City in the English Premier League against Manchester United, and ended in a rural area of St. Lucia at a small venue better known as a home for cricket. The contrast couldnt have been bigger for Jackson, going from the Theatre of Dreams to a backwater at the foot of the Beausejour Hills, but both experiences were equally as rewarding. The appearance for his club side was only his second in the Premier League this season, and his first since August. The 24-year-old followed that up by making history with the Mens National Team, becoming only the second player to score a hat-trick for Canada in a World Cup Qualifying match when he found the net three times in the 7-0 rout of St. Lucia on Friday. The hat-trick doubled Jacksons tally of goals for his country, and helped put his side in a commanding position at the top of the group in the first stage of qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Canada has three wins from its first three matches and is now preparing to face Puerto Rico in Toronto on Tuesday night. "The main objective was to get out of the group and we are in a good position right now," said Jackson after a training session at BMO Field. "We went to St. Lucia with a game plan and we managed to execute it very well. It was good that a number of players got on the score-sheet and we can take a lot of positives from the game. "Our performance at the Gold Cup earlier this year was very disappointing so it was very important for us to bounce back in the early stages of World Cup Qualification and we have managed to do that very well. Now we have three wins and have the points on the board so the spirit in the camp is really good." In a group that includes St. Kitts and Nevis, as well as St. Lucia, Puerto Rico represents the most difficult challenge, but Canada produced a disciplined performance to win when the teams met on the Island last month and Jackson scored one of the goals. "We know what we are up against. We did well against them when we played them away so now we have a good idea of how they are going to play. Hopefully we can continue our good form and take the points again. We are in a good position but we still have to play the remaining games and make sure we finish the job. So far we have done well." Performinng well for Canada could help Jackson when he returns to his club in England later this week. Thomas Muller Jersey. After finishing last year by scoring the goal that secured promotion for Norwich, the 2009 Canadian Player of the Year has found playing time limited. A six minute cameo against Stoke City at Carrow Road in August is his only other top flight appearance, but rather than get frustrated about his lack of minutes on the pitch, Jackson is determined to play his way into the team. "Its all part of football," he said. "Ever since I have come to the club there has been competition for places. It is a good club with a strong squad. I just have to keep working hard and take my chance when it comes along. We have had some big fixtures already this season and I am enjoying every minute of it." Jacksons performances for Canada could have a positive impact when he heads back across the Atlantic, but for now he is firmly focussed on the task in hand at BMO Field on Tuesday as his country looks to take another step forward on a journey that could lead to the Worlds biggest stage. Morgan Debut It was great to see a national team debut for Toronto FCs young left back Ashtone Morgan in Canadas win over St. Lucia. The TFC Acadmey product came off the bench to earn his first cap. Morgan has been gaining plenty of experience in his rookie season in Major League Soccer this year, but the opportunity to travel with Canadas Senior Team is yet another great learning experience for a player with lots of potential for a big future in the game. Galaxy Crowned Seattle Sounders defeat to Philadelphia Union in the Pacific North West on Saturday night was enough to ensure Los Angeles Galaxy would be lifting the Major League Soccer Supporters Shield for the second successive season. The Galaxys title has been well earned and Head Coach Bruce Arena deserves much credit for building a deep squad that mixes star names such as David Beckham, Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan, along with top quality MLS talent like left back Todd Dunivant and Omar Gonzalez. The Galaxy are the best team over the course of the regular season, but the job is not finished yet. Last year they fell to a shock home defeat against FC Dallas in the Western Conference Final, and the pressure is really on to ensure they dont slip up in the playoffs this time around with the MLS Cup being played at the Galaxys Home Depot Center next month (Sunday, November 20, live on TSN2).
