How are people's weekends going?

@HDE226868 watching England out of their world cup for me

@bilbo_pingouin Ooh, nice. I didn't know they were playing today.

@HDE226868 against Australia

3-20 so far

52d min

@bilbo_pingouin I've never fully understood rugby.

@HDE226868 the basics are simple enough

some details are horrible to grasp

In gym, we watched a short video of a British commentator explaining American football to a British audience. I can only imagine how confusing that would have seemed.

the best comments I've heard about American Football was from Monty Python's John Cleese

not really in favour of the sport :D

@bilbo_pingouin Haha. I think I've found some.

@HDE226868 otherwise I watched part of the game once in a pub in Canada... I can't say I enjoyed it much. But that was a random match between unknown two teams. I should try a better one.

and that's it. England's out of their own world cup. First time ever that the host is out in the first round...

@bilbo_pingouin Or you could do something more productive, like go bang two buckets together to try to make it rain.

@bilbo_pingouin Aw. . .

@HDE226868 I can't say I have tried very hard.

I just didn't want to add to the far too many american football vs rugby wars

I knew that fans of American football were pretty crazy.

well there are crazy guys everywhere... and there are some similarities between rugby and American football...

though more with Rugby League than Rugby Union
