RWC 2007 - Game 2 (England)
Sunday, September 16th, 2007Well done lads !
Well done lads !
Even after 438, they still doubted, after last night, let them be afraid.
Well done gentleman, next on the menu, is England.
The day the Springboks crushed New Zealand.
No matter the outcome of this weekends final, we’ve got reason to smile again, the first cup, of the 2 major internationals, is coming home. Followed by the one we had in 1995. This weekend, the beast roared, and its enemies, trembled.
Why is it when the Proteas win, they’re heroes, when they lose, they’re chokers ? Last night we were beaten by a better team. But if memory serves, last year, we handed them the worst defeat they’ve ever suffered, and in so doing, broke about 20 world records. Without a doubt, the finest cricket match ever played. I was one of those that doubted we could get even within a sniffing distance of the score they posted, and remember the utter joy, when we chased down the score, and won. What I recall most, is the total absence of choking, and the fact that it was done, as a team effort. Even when I watched a re-broadcast of the game, I got gooseflesh and started cheering them on (this despite knowing the result). O ye of short memory, don’t make me come over there and kick your sorry ass. Thanks too Mr. C S for reminding me of why I am a supporter.
To the Bulls and The Stormers !!
