Wow. The heavily favored New Zealand All Blacks were knocked out by the French underdogs. Jacques was scanning through BBC headlines and found "All Blacks Lose" as the main World headline for Asia. This was a big deal. Having spent a semester in New Zealand I understand how obsessed they are with this sport. It is really the most exceptional thing going for them. The article mentioned that 'children were inconsolable' and that adults were 'reduced to tears.' The article also mentioned that this was a national tragedy. A national tragedy? It is really awesome that the whole coun
try rallies around one sport and one team, but it is a serious bummer when they lose. Good thing no one in the US cared about the World Baseball Classic--there's not telling how we may have reacted to a similar 'national tragedy.' Ouch, New Zealand.Got to love that little smirk on the French guy's face. I bet he got punched by a pissed off Paul Bunyanesque Kiwi.

Haha. That is funny you wrote about this because my old teammate, from NZ, was freaking irate about this recently. Interesting.
Fucking KIWIS.
