Jonny Evans has warned Northern Ireland another below-par performance against Azerbaijan will endanger their World Cup qualification bid.The team ranked 88th in the world are the visitors to Belfast on Friday night, as they were four years ago early in Michael ONeills reign, when his side had to rely on a stoppage-time David Healy goal to prevent a shock away victory.Worse was to follow later in that World Cup qualification process when Azerbaijan claimed a 2-0 success in Baku, one month after ONeills side had been beaten in Luxembourg during a period when Northern Ireland recorded just one victory in 22 games. Northern Ireland boss Michael ONeill says he couldnt ask for much more from his players Both nations have seen their fortunes improve in the intervening years and three points at Windsor Park would put Northern Ireland above Azerbaijan into second place in Group C as they aim to reach back-to-back finals of major competitions.I think weve come a long way, Evans said as he reflected back on the previous meetings with Azerbaijan.Michael spoke about that, how to deal with teams like that. I think they surprised us out there with how organised they were. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ?￡6.99. No contract. The expectations on us as a team have risen dramatically and I do think for Azerbaijan as well. Theyre sitting well in the group and Im sure they will be pleased with how theyve started.The last game against them at home, we equalised late on, [but] I think we were in control in that game. I know back then we were disappointed with the result. A car is believed to have developed a technical fault and caught fire outside Northern Irelands team hotel I think now it would be even more so and it would really derail our campaign if we were to perform like that again. It would be disappointing for us to perform like that.In terms of how we approach the game, were in a better mindset and weve got a much clearer plan going into the game of how were going to win.Watch Northern Ireland v Azerbaijan on Friday night.

LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string.RIO DE JANEIRO -- Two years ago Fiona Bigwood considered giving up riding. Today shes aiming for a medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Bigwood and her horse Orthilia posted a score of 77.157 percent on Wednesday to help the British dressage team into third place after the first half of the grand prix.I am so over the moon, Bigwood said. I just love that horse, I was very emotional after ... I have had many horses over the years but once you get a real friend like that its something special.Bigwood, who was third best on the day, has to ride with an eye patch because the 40-year-old suffers from double vision as a result of an accident during a warm-up in April 2014.I think its amazing how the body does adjust to these accidents, Bigwood said. I could get it operated on but Id probably need several operations.I might try after the Olympics now but I dont really notice it. I put the patch on and off I go ... you do adjust to it and life carries on.Bigwood, who admits she hasnt managed to get back on the horse she was riding when she had the accident, credits Orthilia with getting her through one of the darkest moments of her career and back in the saddle.When i had my accident, I wasnt allowed to ride anything that could be a little bit cheeky or naughty in case I fell again so I kept riding her because shee would never do anything to hurt you, she said.ddddddddddddAll through my accident she was the one that kept me going, I was going to stop riding and thats why I think I have got such a lovely relationship with her. She is a friend ... she really is a friend to me. I love her to bits.Bigwood can also count on the support of one of her dressage rivals -- husband Anders Dahl, who rides for Denmark.The couple have three children together.It was lovely to be at the opening ceremony both of us, she said.
