Oh there is.
Watching the final of the world cup when a young chap from England kicked a drop goal in the dying seconds of extra time to win the tournament and then collecting £200 off your arrogant Aussie mate who bet against England.
Sadly I don't think this will be happeneing again this year!
Oh and J-Dog, we are lucky with international rugby, but getting somestic games on TV here requires satellite or cable and then you don't even get all the games even for the big teams. Anything out of the top league of rugby....forget it!
You can however watch Accrington Stanley play Poole Town FC at kiss chase (or soccer as some people call it) on sixteen different channels for free day or night.
Oh and just to delineate the differene between soccer and rugby a little further: during the recent floods we've had in the UK (Steve have you been affected? We've escaped) two members of the England Rugby team were stranded returning to the Midlands. Ben Kay and former England captain Martin Corry helped locals where they were stranded by carrying old people to safety through the flood waters, helping build barricades and then slept in their car. Had it been one of those over paid ponces that plays footballs they would have whined until they were airlifted to the nearest hairdressing salon and carefully coiffured. Wankers to a man!
Not that I'm at all biased.
