Football

Football was played in Wembley today, american football. Err.... most of the ticket holders were expat living in London. In short I do not think that American football will catch on outside the US, due to the competition from the other sports, the flambouyancy with the players and in some areas the cheerleaders are not welcomed. For example cheerleaders have been taken out of the rugby league in Australia.

Anyway that is little interest as the energy is all building up for the game of the year, the superbowl match before the superbowl, the clash of the titans, if you may have it.

For all the weeks there are 2 teams shining as the example of teamwork, experience and pure skill. I have a mental post it note for November 4th. All the other games have fallen to the wayside, like the road kill on the highway. Little matters anymore as most the games are predictable, at least I have been calling them right, if only I had put some money down.

Alas the game of the month - The Colts and The Patriots.

This is one game with a difficult call, the Patriots have the best teamwork. The best. The Colts have good leadership, Manning, with a good arm.

There will be alot of touchdowns and field goals. There will alot of screaming and cheering while the dogs run for cover as this crazy football fan jumps and begs the tv.

What else can top this game?
Hmm ... how about Joe Montana and Jerry "Fifi" Rice on the couch with us!! Just dreaming.
