Rugby World Cup 2007
In 2003, I was at Amy's house at something like 4 in the morning to watch the final of the Rugby World Cup live. England beat Australia, in Australia, at the end of extra time (drop goal from Johnny Wilkinson) [watch the last few minutes on YouTube]. England have been playing poorly this past year, and I really don't think they're likely to go too far this time especially with New Zealand even stronger than usual and France dominating the northern hemisphere.
2007's RWC is being hosted by France, and I hope to be able to watch a few of the matches live, despite working on a conference during the first week of the tournament, and being a few weeks into the semester by that point. The matches will be shown on Setanta, which has a venue finder by which you can find bars and pubs that will be showing matches. The list for the Bay Area is here. Looks like I'll be traveling over to the city again, just like during the Football World Cup.
