We did it! We won the World Cup! And by we I hope you understand I mean me personally. Can't believe it, up at 7.30 this morning to watch it. SO put his lucky rugby shirt on, and I did my duty by running into the kitchen every time Johnny Wilkinson went for a kick (I put him off with my incessant chanting of, 'oh, no, he's going to miss, he's going to miss, no, oh no') Can't believe we won! That's not what England are supposed to do. Ha Ha, we won! So glad it was raining, so glad Johnny was okay after that rough tackle. So glad the Wallabies took out the All Blacks. So glad.

Well, I'm confused. He puts his lucky rugby shirt on and then Jackie asks whether this is soccer...and Faldage on another thread asks a question tongue-in-cheek that I took to be a fun thread, but still one to develop, but it was just Faldage's being tongue-in-cheek...
All that said:
It sounds like rugby to me, but then there's Jackie and her soccer question, and she knew Fadage's tongue was in his cheek...so I'm confused. Still sounds like rugby to me, so if it isn't, please show me what Jackie saw that I didn't...
Edit PS: Oh, Dody, congratulations on your rubgy World Cup or soccer World Cup. I wait to be enlightened.

I had serious motives.

Yes, Jonny did his country proud. Well done, and I am certain that the Wallabies gave your lot a much tougher time than the ABs would have.

OK, now I got a question. (I mean, I have a question). Dody expresses her joy at England's win with the title "SWEET CHARIOTS." On Another Board, someone expressed his joy with the post title "Coming For To Carry Me Home." What's the connection between the gospel hymn and England's national team?

No so fast, that man. The ABs may well have given a good account of themselves, although I'm not saying that they would have won.
As it was, I watched the game at the Old Grammarians club wearing my ABs jersey anyway. I was indifferent as to the outcome, being an alien in the home country of one team and with the other team coming from an alien country. May, I thought, the least hopeless team win ... which wish was granted.
Good game, though.

"Swing Low" is the England RFU's "official" anthem.
