Bizarre decision IMHO, but I don't think the result would have been any different.

Totally mate, as world champs we had the opportunity to defend the title to the bitter end.
Well done England. Good game, just not strong enough.

Yeah, it was a good game. We had some chances that we did not make count, but then so did they. They deserved to win (did I really just say that?)

Im running for president of the USA in 2016, watch for my name
lol sod it, if a Scot can rule England, I can have a go at the USA
Annoys me seeing people like that just getting their face out in public.
2 of the highest royals from the UK were there in their England shirts etc. THATS spirit, they had cause to be there!

You know what, without sounding like a "second place will do" kinda person. Just like England getting to the finals, for Lewis to be racing for the F1 drivers championship on his FIRST year in F1..... win or lose, he has done something amazing.

That is good enough for me

I can accept losing the final to a bad decision...mostly beacuse of
a) The look on the aussie player's faces when we sent them packing
b) The look on the kiwi player's faces when france sent them home
c) The look on the French Player's face when we beat them on home soil
d) The look on the French Player's face when they were humiliated by the Pumas

the game was pretty poor as games go, very defensive and constant kicking away posession for both sides, yesterdays argie game was much better. 2nd place is a good result though overall.
