Well it's been a bad weekend in the history of English sport.... first the brave efforts of England's rugby team just not make it in the Rugby World Cup final with South Africa.... and then Lewis Hamilton's dire performance in Brazil at the F1 World Championships.
But it was so English. They always get their hopes up, without trying to show it. Everyone was so surprised that England even made it to the World Cup final... everyone said that South Africa was going to win (heaven forbid the English actually show some confidence in themselves). And then when South Africa won... oh... the disappointment. But nevermind. We still applaud their "bravery" and "hard work".
If this was the US, we would have been shouting them on all the way - never doubting that they would win. Maybe that little bit of confidence is what those rugby players needed - not just bravery and a stiff upper lip - but actually the "we are the best in the world and no one is going to beat us" attitude that we grow up with in the US.
In any case, it would have been more interesting to watch.

That's right...have a little faith people! :) But that's still awesome they made it that far. You should be proud!!
I learned a Rugby tidbit the other day. Crowe owns a team. That's about all I know about rugby too.
Well better luck next year.
