As Northern Ireland prepare to face Belarus in their final warm-up game before Euro 2016, Paul Gilmour pays tribute to four stalwarts.Four years ago an inexperienced Northern Ireland side were on the end of a 6-0 drubbing by the Netherlands, who were preparing for Euro 2012.It was early in Michael ONeills reign and the game had been arranged before he arrived. A sea of orange and carnival atmosphere greeted the players at the Amsterdam Arena as a rampant Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder and Robin van Persie gave their supporters a perfect send-off. Robin van Persie celebrates with teammate Ibrahim Afellay during the Netherlands 6-0 win over Northern Ireland in a 2012 friendly Who would have thought that in 2016 it would be Northern Ireland competing on Europes biggest stage with the Dutch nowhere in sight? As ONeills side prepare to play on home soil for the final time before a historic first European Championships, four players in particular may get more of an ovation that most. Roy Carroll (38), Gareth McAuley (36), Chris Baird (34), and Aaron Hughes (36) may decide that Euro 2016 is the perfect way to bring down the curtain on their international careers, and while none of them have publicly revealed if that is the case, McAuley has suggested he will speak to ONeill after the tournament. Should Friday be the night Windsor Park witnesses them in a Northern Ireland shirt for the last time, all four can bow out of Belfast knowing they played key roles in qualifying.Carroll, who was brought back into the international set-up by ONeill after a six-year hiatus, saved a penalty at home to the Faroe Islands at a time the visitors were threatening to get back into the game. Roy Carroll returned to the Northern Ireland set-up after a six-year hiatus In Budapest, after playing Romania on a Friday night, he played for Notts County at Coventry 18 hours later. He goes into Euro 2016 as a newly-signed Linfield player so wont be giving up on Windsor completely.West Brom defender McAuley won his 50th cap during qualifying. He scored vital goals and was an integral part of the defence. Having recently signed a contract extension to stay at the Hawthorns, he may see Euro 2016 as the perfect way to end his international career - and what a loss he will be.If Hughes plays against Belarus he will win his 99th cap and could reach 100 in Slovakia. Hughes is Northern Irelands most capped outfield player. Only Pat Jennings has played more. Aaron Hughes (L) holds off Pall Klettskard off the Faroe Islands during a Euro 2016 qualifier He retired from international football in 2011 but ONeill talked him round. The former Newcastle and Fulham centre-back was an influential figure in the early part of the campaign when NI won their first three games.Baird was a revelation in the qualifying campaign, providing excellent cover in front of the back four. His passion for the shirt has been evident over the years and at 34, he may yet feel he has one more campaign in him. At a sold-out Windsor Park on Friday, there will be flags, colour and noise on what will be a proud night for the second smallest populated Euro 2016 nation.McAuley, Hughes, Baird and Carroll can expect more - the adulation of an adoring crowd for years of dedicated service to Northern Irish football.

Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break.The Rocket League Championship Series Open qualifiers ended with the top eight teams from each region coming through to regional League play. With the RLCS coming back soon, we decided to order our global top-8. League play will begin Sept. 24 before moving into a regional qualifier next month.Heres how everyone stacks up.8. GenesisGenesis sits at the very bottom of our rankings. Despite making it through the losers bracket, the team still looks confident. Although itll need some work, a ticket to the International Finals come seasons end shouldnt be out of reach. Adam Espeon Barth will need to provide stability for Genesis if it hopes to have a deep run in the tournament.7. Take 3Continuing the theme of top North American teams in the Rocket League Championship Series, Take 3 made it into League play by taking down reigning world champs G2 Esports. But with G2s massive dip in form, this only places Take 3 seventh on our rankings. If Christopher Zanejackey Jacobs and Dillon Rizzo Rizzo can create a goal-scoring partnership, Take 3 could be primed to push further than expected.6. Precision ZPrecision Z is the first European team to enter the RLCS power rankings. It qualified for League play by taking down Supersonic Avengers. As one of the teams that look like its entering prime form, Precision Z might just be a top team this season and topple the rankings.5. Kings of UrbanKings of Urban qualified with a hard fought win over Selfless and could have slotted in higher had it not showed weakness in recent weeks. Expect Kings to make it deep in the tournament and to cause any team it faces trouble.dddddddddddd. If Kais SadJunior Zehri and Jayson Fireburner Nunez can continue their streak, you can expect Kings to make it through.4. Northern GamingNorthern Gaming took down Ohmydog and looked good doing so despite how close the set was. Northern were contenders last season and look to be top contenders this season, too. New member David Miztik Lawrie will have to work hard to gel with the team if it wants to advance past the simple title of contender. If Miztik can work his play around the old guards style, Northern could be primed as more than just a top four team.3. Mockit AcesMockit Aces are spearheaded by one of the most controversial brands in Rocket League and with one of the most controversial players on the team. If Philip Paschy90 Paschmeyer can continue his level of solo-play and bring that to this team, he will be a key figure for Mockit Aces from start to finish.2. ExodusThis may be a surprising pick but Exodus seems to show up for big events and should be able to come through and possibly fight for a spot at the top of Rocket League. If Exodus can push itself hard and stay focused, the team has the biggest potential cap.1. FlipSid3 TacticsFlipsid3 could easily be the favorites for the whole thing come season-end. With G2 seemingly falling off the pitch, Flipsid3 look to be in prime position to take the crown. Mark Markydooda Exton will look to do just that after the team lost Michael M1k3rules Costello. ' ' '
