Brief summary of games watched today

Here we go.

Despite our best efforts not to, Australia managed to defeat England 10-8 in extra time.

Latvia, in a game that reminded so much of the joys of club level games - mud, average passing, unforced errors and 20 big guys with big sticks going the biff - put away France by 'lots' to one.

Wales, looking reasonably sharp and probably pushing for Blue division in the mid future, shut out Austria 19 nil.

Which brings us to Canada, who, in an attempt to make my earlier 'expert tips' seem really stupid, held out just long enough to defeat USA 10 to 9. Two VERY skilled teams going very hard to the complete joy of the packed stadium.

I still regard the USA as the slightly better team but had definitely upset some karma kart in the recent past and didn't have much of tonight's luck. However in a very recent earlier post I *DID* claim that USA would go through undefeated and also that I expect that Australia would be about to win over Canada. To protect my ego I will now go and retcon my earlier posts to show that Han shot second. What is good for Lucus is good for the Crab :)

More game details later.
