Because even the toughest Americans like to give hugs…
No Soup for YOU!
“SMOOTH shave, dude. Let me make this goal, and then we’ll talk about your grooming!”
Rugby at the White House!
America’s new pastime,
Yes we can!
Hey stop! We put our hand over our heart like this when our national anthem is played!
Have you heard of the all American sandwich? We be the buns and you will be the paddy!
Even at arm’s length USA Eagles have got a grip on rugby.
I said “Yes I can ” and this is How , away with you ….
Just like George W. Bush, the Eagles also have trouble bringing down their man!
Except the Eagels are in the blue and I belive that Argentina are in the red having trouble making tackles…..
Nah mate, in New Zealand they go for the throat, like this…
I said “give me the ball!”
Why won’t you hug me!
Hold still so I can plank you guys
In America, we eat chicken wings like you for appetizers!
Todd Clever showed me how to do this….
Heey BUDDY give me that ball,im going to pass it to the Ambassador so i get to meet the Eagles at the dinner !!!
Can’t touch this!
If you do that again I’m taking my dolls and dishes and going home.
“MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”
What did the five fingers say to the face?
SLAP
Look Mom, No Pads!
Run Forest Run!
Put me in, Coach – I’m ready to play, today. Look at me, I can be, Centerfield
‘Eagle preys for would be tackler’
‘Palm reader wanting to get closer to World Cup action’
‘No time for cuddles in Eagles World Cup build-up’
‘Eagle throws away all claims of being wooden spooners at the 2011 RWC’
‘Eagle fends off wooden spooners tag’
Man, this never happens in chess club.
The dealer’s claim that the picture was an early draft of Emanuel Leutze’s masterpiece, ‘Washington Crossing the Delaware’ was met with widespread skepticism in art community.
Oh Kiwi, you’re soo fine you don’t understand. I take you by the heart but you take me by the… throat
“Pooh! I can smell the uranium on your breath”
Shot putt’s are too small nowadays……… Step up… and we will grass ya…..
Trainer Dave’s heart sank when re realised the Vulcan throat pinch was no match for the South American “heart rip”.
“Tommy dear, can you text Joey Junior for me…? He forgot his helmet again…”
“Sure thing Granma… Whats he doin’ playin’ defense anyways…”
WHOA!! Dad! Checkout these guys? Full contact? No pads??
Full contact? No pads? Son… brings back memories… who are these guys?
Go figure son… These are my kinda Eagles!!
“Eagles? Rugby? World Cup? Olympics? Confused?
Don’t be. Just think Gold Medals”
Dude, listen, I didn’t even know you had a sister.
Upon reflection, the producers of Season 13 of ‘Dancing With the Stars’, regretted allowing defense play as part of the competition.
*defensive play
The boys are back in town.
Naaa… It’s my turn~!
No, you don’t understand; I left my car keys in the ball.
Although the superglue fight had been fun, as the day progressed both men became frustrated by the need to run up and down field attached to one another.
The wild Pumas surrounded him ,scratching and clawing ,but the American Eagle kept his eyes fixed firmly on his prey. He spread his wings and pushed off to soar to heights he had never reached before!
How are we supposed to tackle them without shoulder pads, a cup, knee pads, chest guard, and a helmet?
Talk to the hand cause this face don’t understand.
That ball is filled with oil – STOP HIM!!
It was never going to work. Checking each others carotid pulse and heart rate during the game was not a happening thing
And there is was; definitive proof that the Argentinean rugby players were lovers, not fighters.
All this because they had both shown up wearing the same shoes.
The defenders never had a chance; the man had dinner with the ambassador scheduled, and he meant to be there. On time.
USA Eagles show Argentina that the giant has awoke and is firmly focused on this year’s World Cup.
Kiwis vs Eagles? One can fly right?… Sounds like a mismatch…?
Not the hair! Not the hair!! Grrrrrr!!!
Grrr!!!! One small fend for me… one giant sidestep for me again?
