Come on England!

My last post about rugby was titled "Eng-a-land, Eng-a-land!" I now stand corrected. That is the wrong chant when cheering on your rugby team. It should be "Come on England!" To clarify:
Rugby World Cup: Come on England!
Football World Cup (or Eurocup): Eng-a-land, Eng-a-land!

And in exciting news, we English get to use that chant for one more weekend. Improbably, impossibly, the man with the Golden Boot, Little Jonny Wilkinson blew multiple kicks again. And yet, he came through when it counted most and England is going to The World Cup Finals! As a bonus, not only did the English make the finals, they beat the hated French, which adds to the satisfaction. I get the sense that at this point, with victories over Australia and the French, in the minds of most of us English, they've already won the World Cup, no matter what happens next weekend.
