Well if you see.. Rugby in Motion Forums let me know, aniway its seems that England's perfomance doesnt makes any of them..to comment about the rugby wC:)
the Pumas ended up first in their group beating everybody, sending France away from Paris to play with the All Blacks and sending Ireland home! now Scotland is on the way, let´s see what we can do. it´d be amazing to get to the semifinals for the first time!

Whoh, whoh whoh whohh!! Easy tiger. Can't go pasting that in ere..
Was the best player in the world though
Apart from the fella in the top left hand corner next to my name.
I'm really enjoying this World Cup
(even tho Ireland went home early & never really looked like a decent team)
Argentina have been a pleasure to watch (even to be beaten by!) & were my dark horse to make it to the final, since they whipped Ireland in the two test matches in Argentina a few months ago.
France are getting better with each game & still have that ability to run the ball past ANYBODY.
England too are getting better & better - played very well to beat the Aussies.
South Africa - still playing in fits & starts - but in those ten minute periods when they do play, they are brilliant!
I said at the start that I wouldn't be surprised at a France / Argentina final (this would make Ireland's performance seem a bit better too) but I'm making no more predictions - any one of these 4 can beat the other 3 on a good day.
Looking forward to the semis. 
& I'll be shouting for Argentina - after all Felipe Contepomi
does play for (my local) Leinster!
cares to be honest.
game against Estonia on Saturday in football. then playing the Russians on astro turf next week in Moscow. then its back to the real business of the ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP.
this Rugby thing seems to have been going on for months now.

Except this time you are allowed to handle the fucker!
Should be a good hard final, England vs Argentina. Two big packs giving it everything, none of this flowing rugby the antipodes seem to want. I personally think the packs should be put in a tank rather than allowed to run around the pitch. Then Germany might start playing the game as well!
There's a song of The Stone Roses called.. "Bye, Bye Badman".. Here's another one:
BYE BYE FRANCIAAAAA BYEEEEEE BYEEEEE
Proud of been Argentinean, and VERY PROUD with the outstanding permormance of the PUMAS in RWC'07.
Congrats to the next world champion:
SOUTH AFRICA.

So, what are we up now ?
Support the English because they are Europeans ? Support the South Africans because of all the anger the English left us through the ages ?
PS : On the first day of the football world cup in Paris, the opening match was Brazil vs Scotland. I met a lot of Scots this day. And one told me : "We, the Scots, have two National teams even if sometimes we only have one. The first National team is the one which is the Scottish one. The second one is any team that plays against England."
