It will be interesting if the Argies get into the final as they play a similar spoiling, drop kicking, offside brand of rugby that England play so it could turn out to be the worlds most boring final ever

So the runs from Jason Robinson were boring? We've heard it all before.. we can only win by drop kicks, we're boring, we cheat.. we only have 1 good player in johnnie and he only kicks..yaddie yaaah yaaah.

That doesnt matter, England won the semi! Where I was watching from that ''one good player'' seemed pretty handy at both kicking and managing his side. And he didnt score all of Englands points.
All you English knockers out there forget that England invented the game, and a great more besides that we comfortably take for granted.
Rule Brittania.
I lived there for 5 years and met some pretty good people, yes they have some bas....s, but so do we.

If Its an England / Argentina final then its going to be a re-run of the Falklands War, to that end I hope the English once again give them a good kicking!

And bizarrely on the 25th anniversary of Goose Green..

Sorry Boomer, mentioning JT as the man for WSB was going too far, everything else was agreeable.

That then being the case it is both imperative and appropriate that England would win against Argentina.

It seems tome that seen as there are lots of dollars spent on sponsorship and heaps paid for TV rights they want entertaining Footy thats what the AB's try to do, but isnt it the idea to win the game, don't care how it's the World cup the best team doesn't always win. It's the team that apply's themselfs to the conditions and play unfairly at times. If you get away with it who cares.England

Engaland

Whats unfair about kicking? Has that not always been in the rules? Its not like Spear Tackling a player and almost ending their career just to get them out of the tournament....
