Either way it was going to be a grudge match depending on tonights score... but damn, it's played through with such poetry.
England, the uderdogs are beaten and bruised at the first meeting with an ememy, old and young members of the cadre are lost and old bruts brought in. The team slowly trains itself in a series of funky montage style Pool games showing glimpses of things they might be capable of when asked. Then come up against a side that had finished top of their group and were 200 points scored clear of the next best side in thier Pool, Australia, we beat them. Face the home side, France and knock them out, in a set beautiful set of quarter finals all laid out to see a northern vs southern hemesphere final. Not only that but the final test of our heros mettle, so they can drink from the prize and probably get the girls, is that they have to face the first side that beat them. The only one that beat them.... It's like Star Wars or something.
Rule Britainnia!!!

I also think from a girls perspective there is nothing attractive about cauliflower ears and looking like Sloth from The Goonies and while I agree these are more men than say footballers, they're actually too manly for me! I know some girls love a good scrap, but seeing them blokes with blood pissing out of their heads and ears falling off etc. turns me right off!
