The dream is over

The Pumas lost to an unstoppable South Africa tonight in what was the first time the Argentinean team reached the world cup semi-finals. The final score was 37 - 13.
We're just so sad that the dream is over... My son couldn't even watch the whole game and just went into his room well before it ended. We were not in tears but I can totally understand why the Argentine's captain was crying at the end as you can see in the picture here.

However, I'm very proud of "our" guys.For us a third of fourth place in the world cup is an achievement. First: rugby is not played professionally in Argentina, most of the players played most of their life as amateurs. 2- Argentina doesn't play either in the south hemisphere Tri-Nations nor in Europe Six-nations and is in fact the very first country to reach that position without being in one group or the other.

The only down side was a bad tempered finish which saw yellow cards shown to and Juan Smith and Felipe Contepomi, but it could not spoil either South Africa's party nor the Pumas achievement.

Now, if you thought of England as the underdog in this rugby world cup... spare a though for the brave Pumas!

And now: GO ENGLAND!!!!
