***Super Bowl XLV1 New York Giants v New England Patriots - Official Match Thread***

Sorry all, I know my ignorance is probably ruining the fun for you (I am genuinely trying to learn this game), and I know this is a massive game, but as you're all 'soccer' fans, what is this like(what is the importance of this game)?

Would you compare it to a FA Cup final, a top division title, or a Champions League title? How big is this? I know there's 100m+ watching which is huge for American Sport.

There is no comparisons NFL is ultimately only really a USA game - bit like marmite either love it or hate it

 

[Woodchip]

JPP hurt. That could ruin the Giants defence.

Think World cup

Could be another who has the ball last game

 

[Beach Hut]

Eli sacked so only a FG attempt for the Giants and they score 17-15 Patriots

Close again could have a grandstand finish

Big Play...

Enjoying both BBC and Sky, both with NBC Micheals and Collins.

Good game, could go down to the wire, NYG blowing time outs early could be costly

3min53 left on the clock. How much longer do we think the game will last (not including any overtime)?

 

[Blackadder]

Think the Giants are probably going to nick this now.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Will just run down the clock and let Tynes go for a late field goal

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Eli for MVP

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Wow the Pats allow a TD to get time

 

[Blackadder]

Game over.

 

[Blackadder]

this is wierd.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

What makes it such a great game. Pats close on that play

 

[Woodchip]

In. always described this as chess with men as the playing pieces.
