No longer winners

by Claudia Sonea

The rugby World Cup ended on Saturday night with the victory of South Africa on Stade de France. It was a good match and the English fought bravely, but the adversary was stronger and more determined to do it. In sport, luck plays an important part and there is only one winner and another chance for the other players. Real sport fans understand that and enjoy a good match and a hard struggle from their favorites than the triumph itself. After the English won against France, everyone celebrated in England and Jonny Wilkinson was a hero. However, when the odds turned against them and did not manage to overcome the South Africans, all the media reflected fans disappointment, because their expectation of repeating the 2003 performance and take the Cup. Every newspaper had headlines like Heartbreak among which Observer, Sunday Times or Sunday Telegraph published breaking articles. They tried to smooth the criticism by talking about pride and the fact that the team has as many weaknesses as qualities. Coach Brian Ashton told the players to leave Paris with their heads high, because after the six-weeks tournament they managed to get to the final, although no one believed they could. Furthermore, from the pathetic lost against South Africa with a score of 36-0 in a pool game at the beginning, they no really did their best and not only that they get to the final, but also succeeded to represent a challenge and the match ended with a score of 15-6. This year England managed to get from nowhere in the rugby World Cup final. Both they and the supporters should be proud of the achievements. Next year will be better and they might even win. We can only hope and wish their best. Don't forget, it's not about winning or losing, it all gets down to the game.
