Bronze final

Today I decided to take another route on the hop/hopoff bus. The commentary on the buses is so good that you get new insights of London every time you sit on the bus. It was the last day of the school holidays yesterday so the queues outside places like Madam Tussaud, the Eye, the Tower etc went for blocks down the street so it was a good idea just to sit on the bus and enjoy the sights. The route I chose took almost three hours from beginning to end so by that time it was tine to get sorted for the Bronze Final. I was looking forward to the match as I remember in 2007 the Bronze Final between Argentina and France was the best match of the tournament. The game was at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Stadium a stadium built for the last Olympics. Great stadium in the middle of a major rebuild of an area of East London. The stadium seated 50,000 which was smaller than the other stadiums I have been in on this trip. The game was disappointment. It seems the South Africans weren't excited to be there and the Argentinians just ran out of ideas of how to win. I don't think it help Argentina when they made 7 changes to the team. This was an 8 pm match and it took until almost 1:45 am to get back to the hotel, The anticipation around the supporters group here is growing really fast from expectation to maybe we will win. Plenty of mind games being played out in the media which we hope the All Blacks are immune to. Go the All Blacks!
