Watched the entire game, Eagle and what a great game it was. Hurrah for the Sox!
America and Canada eh? Let's see Russia plays hockey. Denmark plays hockey. Sweden plays hockey..........need I go on? Never mind.........you just wanted to rain on someone's parade didn't you.
Yeah Red Sox.....................!
Karrie my friend... you know I am so enjoying this.
I am hoping this will be a HUGE thread! Two pages thus far and going strong!
The only thing that can better this is a NY Yankee fan coming in here to talk trash. Do you know how many pics and articles there are on last nights game?
Grumpy brits and the geographically challenged can not rain on this...
Good on you, Eagle.........enjoy it for all it's worth. This was a HUGE win for your Sox - for their fans - for the city and I am really happy for you though from what I was hearing about this team there is a good chance we could see them back with the win again next year. David Ortiz man.............he so rocks! :smile:
Not a problem Petros...
Regular programming may continue as scheduled...
Dey got er dun'
Thanks Mowich.
Whew.... six games.
I'm still so jazzed for ya! Your hometown team wins the big one AND you get petty trolls to entertain you for the day.
It just doesn't get any better than that.
My happy dance in your honour.

Guess what the most popular sport is in each of those three countries.
I'll give you a clue. It isn't "hockey". Nor is it baseball.
In North American English, the name of that sport begins with "s", ends in "r" and has "cc" in the middle, and the sport is accurately dubbed The Beautiful Game.

It's North American hockey - Fact... Not that figure skating with a puck on the ice that you (h)anglos in Europe pretend is hockey
I prefer hockey the way is was supposed to be played when the British invented it - on a field.
A baseball bat is longer than a cricket bat.
That's the way it originally started.
Playing hockey on ice is probably even more silly than baseball.
As silly as this sport?
How about this manly-man that is clearly a prime representative?
Greatest sport in the world.
The huge global following it receives, and the fact that it's the national sport in most countries, even countries that most North Americans have never heard of, is testament to that.
The Beautiful Game is the greatest sport on the planet.
How delusional

As predicted...
1. Football
2.Baseball
3. Basketball
4. Hockey
and coming in at #5... Soccer
Why they call it The Beautiful Game (just ignore the Hand of God bit. Cheating doesn't count).

It is indeed fun!
I just got to thinking... It seems that you Brits are pretty good at inventing a variety of games but never excel at any.
Inside of a couple of years, every other culture adopts it and begins to make you look like rank amateurs.
Rugby, cricket, soccer and (apparently) hockey... Hell, even small nations beat you silly in the biggest sailing events in the world.
Does this give you a clue as to that reference:
A cricket bat isn't much of a "toddler bat" when you wrap it around the head of a burglar who breaks into your house at night.
As many readers rightly pointed out on the Daily Mail website, the victory was fixed.
The Yanks love their soppy, romanticised, tear-jerking moments so they thought it would be cool to ensure that Boston win the World Series in the aftermath of the bombings.
Not really.
The Summer Olympics are usually seen as the pinnacle of their respective sports, but for cricket that simply wouldn't be the case.
Most cricket fans the world over see the Cricket World Cup as the pinnacle of the sport, except if you are an Englishman and an Australian, in which case you'll probably see the Ashes as the pinnacle of cricket.
The passion that crickets fans show for their teams in competitions such as the World Cup, the Ashes and the Indian Premier League just wouldn't exist in an Olympics cricket tournament. Fans will just see it as a bit of a glorified, but still pointless, series of friendly matches whilst they wait for the cricket season to start again.
It's for the reasons above why football shouldn't be in the Olympics.
Only if you ignore the Football World Cup win; the Rugby Union World Cup Win; the three Rugby League World Cup wins; the fact that we've won the Ashes 31 times; and the fact that we did better at the London Olympics than both Canada (in total number of golds won and per capita number of golds won) and the USA (in terms of per capita number of golds won).
On the gold medals per capita table at London 2012, Great Britain finished 10th, with 0.46 golds per million people.
The USA finished a lowly 28th, with just 0.15 golds per million people.
Canada did even worse. It finished way down in 46th, with just 0.03 golds per million people.
The brits need a bigger bat to hit the ball just like a toddler does.[/quote]
Jealous...
Jealous of this!
We crushed the Brits on their home turf. LMAO
We OWNED your Olympics!
105 to 65... WE WIN!
What pain you must have had... was it so bitter? LOL@U!
