For a side whose players play in Europe, who don’t really get any financial benefits for playing for their country due to the stubborn amateur union, and who have field several amateur players this World Cup, Argentina were simply the stars of the show. Every game was passionate and entertaining, so Bravo Los Pumas!

And unfortunately England did not win the final, but full credit to the South Africans, they were the better side on the day by far, and what a gracious team as well. Of all the southern hemisphere giants that were in contention for the trophy, I’m glad SA succeeded, as opposed to the Aussies, who don’t really like us English anyway, or the All Blacks and their supporters, who seemed to think turning up would suffice. But previous cups have showed us, the team who can win close games most consistently usually go all the way, and NZ do not meet that criteria. But good job to SA, see you in four years!

In the World Cup Final!!! Yeah come on England!
