1) Now you rugbyheads understand how we cricket fans feel every year.
2) Parents are saying that their children are inconsolable? Maybe we should look again at our culture which encourages this almost-compulsory vicarious identification with one single corporate brand, sorry, sports team so thoroughly. At least English soccer hooligans or AFL nuts (hi, Cal!) have a variety of teams to support.

4) Go Argentina!
