Okay, I've watched a bunch of these this morning, and I have two things to say: 1) The Haka has got to be the most impressively intimidating ritual in history. Man, it makes my scalp tingle watching it. Dang! 2) Props to the non-Samoans for trying, but there is a marked, visible difference between people for whom it's a part of their heritage and anyone else. Still, fantastic stuff.

LOL, I love the look on Australians faces when they do this. Its too bad thy suck at rugby because they are too busy practicing dancing.

The US fought just as much as anyone else and you also have to remember that the US was fighting the Japanese with very little support from anybody.
|
*Sigh* back to this.
The Russians fought 75% of the German army for 5 years. The Brits fought 100% of the German forces for 2 years and then the other 25% for the next 5 years.
The Americans shared that 25% with the British after D-Day until the end of the war - so that's 9 months.
The Americans did actually have a lot of support. Japanese forces were deployed into three armies, one fought the Chinese, one fought the Brits in India and one fought the Americans, Australians, NZ in the Pacific.

Mmmm could hardly call Australian troops giving Japan their first defeat on land at Kokoda support, nor the clearing of Timor, Sumatra and Borneo by Australians. And esspecially not to mention the lack of support Britain showed fighting the Japs back from India through Burma. - Just a note I am being quite sarcastic.

im so glad nz won the first tri nations match they rule. i was there and it was awesome to watch. that game proved we are the best. better than the world champs any way
|
At least these teams have won a world cup.
I think you should run back to the NZ tour bus - I hear they are stuck in a world cup semi final with the CHOKE stuck on.
