Not caught much of this world Cup, but watching France destroy the Aussies in the first semi final on BBC2.

Mad sport - the French captain is apparently 60, and looks a bit Cantona-esque to me.

We also have a stereotypical horrendous Aussie mullet on show, and the French have a player with a proper Poirot moustache

Great sporting entertainment

Absolutely, fantastically, fast, frenetic and fabulous. Humbling and inspiring.

That's the best bit.

Yes I am a rugby league fan and the wheelchair stuff is insane, the skill is immense and the control and finesse just outstanding.

I did enjoy some of the close matches, but when the scores are like 87 - 10 I kind of lose interest. Not a fan of mismatches in any sport. Semi-final stage now though isn't it? Should be a lot closer, I guess.
