Went running again over the weekend. Also had friends round for Friday nights opening game to the rugby world cup. So we had a few beers and Chinese again.

Watched the France vs Argentina game. Very interesting game in terms of strategy. Arg put France under constant pressure by doing up and unders and pinning them in their own half. The French as host, with the weight of expectation on them, found the pressure too much to handle and produce an number of un-forced errors. In the book Art of War it is said that you cannot force opportunities but must be ready to take them when they happen. This is exactly what Arg did and France didn't when they tried to force the game through the Arg defence and was intercepted.

England against the USA was a very dismal affair. Are they saving them selves and they to worried about Fridays game, I don't know but it was poor. The should have used the game to practice their running lines etc. In the Art of War he discusses ruthless destroy your opponents as a way of sending out a message of intent.

Talking to my Uncle this weekend and I noticed he looks the opposite way than you would expect for the eye accessing cues. Interestign I will have to remember that next time I see him and test it out again.
