A game not known in Belgium. For quite a few years Belgium didn't even qualify, which is not a surprise since they they think rugby is American Football.
As my rugby supporting friends know, South Africa dropped out of the World Cup yesterday.
My family and I support both the Springboks and the All Blacks.
As a matter of fact, my mother asked me today to go with the to the embassy of New Zealand today to go get a New Zealand flag to show our support.
Of course the neighbors have absolutely no idea what's going on with all the flags we put on our flagpoles.
Unfortunately I did not see yesterday's matches between South Africa against Australia and New Zealand against Argentina.
Since Belgium doesn't know this (awesome) sport they don't show it on any of the 300+ TV channels they show.
The only place where we can (sometimes) watch rugby is on a french channel, and it's french... obviously...
As for now we are supporting New Zealand. The host nation who deserve to win. They have so far played well in every match and they should be the champions of this world cup.
