The achievement, which would match the late Bob Paisley's European Cup feat with Liverpool in the 1970s, is not only a testimony to Ferguson's run of success since taking over at Old Trafford in 1986, but also continues the remarkable legacy that Scottish managers continue to have on football as a whole.

The reason? They happen to be born in the U.S. territory of American Samoa instead of somewhere else in the United States. Cevallos gets the basic unfairness of it all right: "The United States laid claim to these eastern islands of a South Pacific archipelago in 1900, and since that time, American Samoans have served in the U.S. military, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Additional @placeholder forces were called in several times as reinforcements as the firefight stretched on. | Washington (CNN) -- The Afghanistan battle that resulted in a rare fatality for a classified Army unit pitted U.S. troops against waves of insurgents who attacked from bunkers and caves, a U.S. military official said Wednesday. American forces had to be reinforced several times during the two-day firefight in southeast Afghanistan's Paktika province, said the official, who declined to be named because he was discussing the Army's Special Operations Command. The sole U.S. fatality in the attack was Army Master Sgt. Benjamin A. Stevenson, a highly decorated member of one of the Army's special mission units. The death in combat of a soldier from one of these highly trained units is rare, with the last occurring nearly a year ago, the official said. The classified units are sometimes publicly referred to as Delta Force, the Army equivalent of the Navy SEAL team that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in May.

At least 48 people died and at least 286 others were wounded in 13 cities. The locations included Baghdad, the capital, and large towns in the northern, western, and southern quadrants of the nation. The only region that appeared to be spared the onslaught was the three-province Kurdish autonomous region in the north. Investigators don't yet know whether these strikes were coordinated, but a similar series of strikes that occurred in May bore the hallmarks of al Qaeda in Iraq. On that day, 85 people died and more than 300 others were wounded in coordinated shootings and bombings across six provinces.

A blue gel helps @placeholder bounce, and an orange gel boosts her speed. | (CNN) -- "Portal 2" is an absolute joy. The much-anticipated sequel expands on and improves the original's dark humor and mind-bending puzzles while providing a story that twists, turns and answers questions previously unasked. A follow-up to the 2007 surprise smash hit "Portal," the game, released Tuesday by Valve, puts you back in the test chambers at Aperture Laboratories many years after the events of the first game end. You play again as Chell, a female test subject who has been in stasis for many centuries and once again finds herself trying to escape from the treacherous lab. This time, you're aided early on by a robot ball named Wheatley, who wants to get out as well.

Outraged: Mexico coach Miguel Herrera remonstrates with officials and @placeholder players at full time | By Craig Hope Follow @@CraigHope01 Arjen Robben could face disciplinary action following his admission that he dived during Holland’s 2-1 victory over Mexico in the World Cup second round. The Dutch winger confessed to simulation during the first half – when he flopped inside the penalty area - but insisted he had been fouled by Rafael Marquez in the incident which led to Klaas-Jan Huntelaar’s winning spot-kick in injury-time. 'I must apologise,' said Robben. 'The one [at the end] was a penalty, but the other one was a dive in the first half. I shouldn't be doing that. That’s awful.’

It's generation of players, woven together from the country's immigrant communities, has brought about a new sense of unity within @placeholder. | (CNN) -- Just when it looked like the World Cup "dark horses" were about to turn up lame, Belgium turned on the power in the final straight to overcome Algeria 2-1 in Belo Horizonte. Trailing to Sofiane Feghouli's first-half penalty, Belgium, tipped by many to reach the later stages of the tournament, hit back in impressive fashion. Marouane Fellaini, derided for much of the season following a nightmare year at Manchester United, headed home an equalizer with 20 minutes remaining after entering the fray as a substitute. And Belgium sealed victory with 10 minutes left when Dries Mertens rounded off a stylish counter-attack to snatch victory.

Enough is enough: Frustrated with Republicans' repeated use of filibusters to avoid confirming judicial nominees, @placeholder Senate majority leader Harry Reid took the 'nuclear option' and got rid of the procedural tool | By Daily Mail Reporter and Agence France-presse PUBLISHED: 14:20 EST, 21 November 2013 | UPDATED: 15:32 EST, 21 November 2013 The Senate has taken the dramatic step of trying to override the Republican’s ability to outrun the nomination approval process. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid invoked the move, known in Washington as the 'nuclear option,' to end what he considers long-standing abuses of blocking procedures that for more than two centuries have required a 60-vote threshold -- instead of a simple majority vote -- to overcome. For years, filibusters have been used by those in the minority party to push back the approval of measures that they do not like. Today, Reid put an end to the tactic and President Obama came out in support the move.
@highlight
Senators regularly stall nominations or votes by using filibusters to 'run out the clock' and stall the process
@highlight
Today the Democratic majority leader effectively banned the tactic
@highlight
The change means that they don't need 60 votes from the 100-person chamber, and now they only need a simple majority of 51 to pass measures
@highlight
Because there are 55 Democrats and 45 Republicans, that means that Democrats could possibly win every vote they put up
