Yesterday we went to a pub to watch a great English Premier League matchup- Liverpool v. Chelsea. Watching the "football" game at an English pub was vastly different from watching it back in the States. Liverpool and Chelsea both claim they are from London, but apparently Chelsea is the New York Yankees of the EPL and are thus hated. Liverpool prevailed 2-0 and it was an exciting finish...
The Super Bowl started at 11:30 here and man what a game! It's too bad Kurt Warner and Co. did not prevail, but wow I think it was a very exciting finish. The Boss rocked at halftime as well. It was interesting watching the game here. It sounds funny to have British broadcasters doing the pregame show...it just does not sound right having someone with a British accent analyzing the game. Luckily, John Madden and Al Michaels were used during the game. We did not get to see any U.S. commercials, which was really disappointing. The game also ended at around 3 AM here
Today, it snowed in London and it is apparently the most snow in the UK in 18 years. Though only 4 inches, I don't think that London can handle even the smallest amount of snow- Tube lines are closed, the bus routes are not working and one of our classes was canceled. I must say that Regent's Park in the snow is extra special.
Cheers,
Paul
