Going to the Finals!

I could talk about being at the Coliseum, yesterday, and watching Arizona surrender to USC in the 4th quarter -- entertaining (for me) until about eight minutes to play. But why would I do that when there are MUCH BIGGER THINGS HAPPENING IN THE SPORTS WORLD?

South Africa 37 - 13 Argentina

I'm riding cloud nine for the rest of the day before going back into panic mode ahead of Saturday's final. Seriously, I thought I was going to have a heart attack moments before the Argies match, today, but then du Preez intercepted in the 5th minute and I could breathe again. Great display from the Boks, today, capitalizing on all of the Pumas mistakes. It's tough being a rugby fan in America, but fortunately, I found an ex-pat pub that was showing the match and full of rabid like-minded folks. It was lekker!

I think if we've learned anything over the past month, in this tournament, it's that anything can happen. Certainly, this is a different England side than what we saw during the group phase. Just ask the Aussies and the French. What a difference Johnny Wilkinson makes in that side.

Bryan Habana for president.

Go the BOKS!
