I did think about staying up for it then I realised I can eat Doritos and not have a clue what’s going on any time I want so went to bed instead.
Americans were so **** at existing sports that they invented their own sports, that no one else plays, just so they can say they are the best. American football is rugby but you can pass forward and wear 30lbs of armour And all their other major sports are bastardisations of games that girls played at school Basketball = Netball Baseball = Rounders Canadians know whats up, because ice hockey is brutal, thats a sport!
I didn't stay up for it, partly because I didn't want to see the Patriots win another Superbowl, partly because I have loads on today, but it sounded like a good game from what I have read? I much prefer the low scoring defensive games to the 50-50 shootouts you get far more of now due to the rule changes in recent years.
The problem was, the Rams were **** and never adapted. The Pats probably should have won by a lot more.
Their offense was, the defence just got too tired. they actually looked like they had figured it out by the 4th, but then Goff decided to throw it deep rather than just make the 1st down and that ended badly. I thought it was okay, the game stayed alive until the last few minutes, even though it was one-sided. Brady and Gronk, has there been a better partnership? Probably the 2 best players in their positions ever.
Back in the 80s when they used to show a lot of it on C4 I sat up to watch more than one Super-Bowl ,,, not got the same enthusiasm for it now I have to admit ...
Got some free tickets to see a game at Twickenham last year. What a complete load of ****. Must have been about 50 "hanger ons" in the technical area pitchside and that's without the players. Even had some fella who used to run on with a door mat, so the players could wipe their feet between plays. Move forward 10 years and this will be premier league football if ever VAR gets going
It is probably the best sport in the world, but that is only once you understand the complexities of it. Judging by most football fans "knowledge" of their own sport it doesn't surprise me that it passes most people by in the UK
