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...

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.

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.

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!

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.
