Great game, worth staying up to nearly 3:30am to watch*– thought the Seahawks had lost it when Wilson threw an interception with just a couple of minutes left, but to then get the ball back well inside the two minute warning and go 80 yards for the TD with no timeouts; awesome.
Christ do we...
The hip touching hasn’t been so much the issue over here, though it’s made a good story for the British press.
It’s the fact he raised his finger to the guy.
You might think ‘so what’, but the culture here considers direct personal insults like that not just disrespectful, but actually...
I thought they were shit. No way is Simba worth the kind of transfer fees people have been talking about. Plus the Pridelands is a crap ground with no atmosphere. Loads of the so-called ‘hyenas’ around us left well before the end.
I watched the game on telly, so didn't go, but the thing that struck me was that the areas behind the goals – traditionally where the most vocal support gathers – seemed to be given over to huge TV screens. Wouldn't like that at all.

Will try not to drink too much at a friend’s bbq beforehand, so can enjoy watching it on telly without feeling too tired.
Still, your clocks go back soon, which will make the time difference 4 hrs instead of the current 3, so best enjoy the fact that at least this one kicks off the right side...
Guaranteed that a group of local loyal Geordie businessmen will put together a consortium, with Alan Shearer as a figurehead.
There'll be lots of noise in the press about how they're trying to do a deal 'for the club and for the fans'.
It will all fall apart at the eleventh hour, amid mass...
Harry Kane will do his cruciate ligament two weeks before the tournament.
Called out of international retirement to fill the gap, Wayne Rooney is heralded by the media as the ultimate comeback king, a man reborn, who will surely seize this unexpected but surely 'meant to be' opportunity to...
I've become so disillusioned with international football I have to confess I'm not even sure what's at stake. Do the winners go into the playoffs or something?
