We can take some confidence from the result against Azerbaijan.

To me it was a foregone conclusion because the union and the company had already agreed to it.
booming forecasts raising sales start
We're off to a booming start and everybody's going to be raising their sales forecasts for the year.
admire compare ford gm north
You have to admire them. Even with $4,000 in incentives, they're still making money...You compare that with how GM and Ford are doing in North America, and you have to give them a medal.
