While watching the match (when I could take my eyes away) I was reading another thread about American sports vs that other kind of football, aka soccer. I couldn't help but reflect how much more exciting rugby is than the others. It would have been a better match if there were more tries, but this English-based American was on the edge of his seat.

audere,
what were they doing exactly that so offended you?
Drinking/not drinking?
Fratanising with the frogs/ not fratanising etc.?
tearing up the town/not...?
I even heard some french supporters saying that the best team won. Beats the behaviour and attitude of your average footie fan. [present company excepted of course].
I think you're just suffering from spurs deprivation syndrome. or not.
regards, ann

We were on the plane back from France, and I'm not sorry I missed it. Every nes bulletin since 10pm last night has started with that bloody drop goal! No wonder England is the team everyone loves to hate!
Now, how does it go? Dum de dum de dum de dum dum "in South Africa, our land!"
(and I've never supported THEM through two games in a row before)

For once I agree with you. BBC's sense of news priorities has been a disgrace for the past day - and the stories ("England fans celebrate: over now to our correspondsent in Paris Pete Mc Bathos: 'Yes it's Pete here, and the fans are celebrating. Listen to them', followed by the sound of two people singing "Swing Low" badly, slurringly and semi-audibly) have been amateur, pathetic and of zero news interest.
Still, at least it stops them further canonising Al Gore or going on ad even more nauseam about what a mess Brown's in.
Maybe there's just nothing happening in the real world.,

I don't know if you were watching that, but, if you were, Will Greenwood's performance is EXACTLY why I'm off to learn the words of Nkosi sikele Afrika.
PS, to the furriners, South Africa just thumped a spirited Argentina. The commentary from a former England international would have had you doubt that they weren't replaying last night's game.
