Nice - have a great time! Should be an interesting tournament. I'm going to have to find a bar in Spain showing the England/Argentina game at the weekend...

Hahahahaha! That's our national sport mate! If you grew up in New Zealand (Like I did) you would be playing it!

Can't ask for a better start than 41-10...

American football isn't exactly sane either mind you, but we at least have pads and helmets. Not that do much when 340 lbs and pissed off defensive linemen hit you running full steam. Now why don't we have an Australian Rules Football thread. That shits crazy also.

Yeah AFL is like a big mosh pit of dudes in sleeveless shirts jumping on each other. :P It is pretty crazy hahaha

England just squeaked through - pretty unimpressive.

And talking of mental, I watched the All-Ireland hurling last weekend. That's a bunch of psychos armed with sticks hitting a small hard ball at head height and running into each other.

Yeah just, I think Argentina deserved that one but what the hell was wrong with Jonny??
Did you manage to find a bar showing it?

New Zealand vs France in the final!

Come on New Zealand...!

Paulie_Walnuts · Oct 20, 2011, 12:09 PM

Should have been a Wales v NZ final. Wales were stuffed by a shocking refereeing decision from a half-French ref!

Final will be a bit of a non-event........easy NZ victory!

youreveningcoat · Oct 22, 2011, 06:54 AM

I agree it should've been Wales. And that's what i'm praying for an easy NZ win, but those French can be unpredictable...

I didn't stay up to watch the World Cup feed with topnotch NZ announcers (3:30am is a tough start time), but the replay on NBC is fairly torturous thanks its brutal commentators.
