Eng-a-land, Eng-a-land, Eng-a-land!

England vs. Australia. Conqueror vs. Colony. Standing World Cup Champion vs. one of the favorites. The quarter finals of the World Cup kicked off today, and it featured the biggest upset of the tournament, England vs. Australia. Australia was favored to win easily by pretty much everyone and glide into the semi-finals.. Little Jonny Wilkinson however, was not about to let that happen. He nailed 3 penalties and a drop goal and England won, 12-10.

We watched it in a pub with a few of our friends, the crowd was split 50/50 England and Australia fans. It was an awesome atmosphere. If I can't watch the baseball playoffs, this is not a bad substitute.
