My Giants play at Twickenham Stadium

on Sunday, so I'll experience the odd sensation of watching them at 9:30 in the morning. Maybe pancakes do go with American football :)

Strange, I've just been reading about that! They're expecting a sell out crowd (75,000)

it's very strange watching games like this early in the morning. A few years ago when the World Cup was held in Japan I remember going to the pub at 7:30 in the morning to watch an England game....then going to work afterwards! (we lost of course)

Hope you enjoy it, surreal though it may be!

Thanks. It is a nice looking stadium and seemed almost sold out. And the grass blend held up. The grass at Wembley looked destroyed after one of these games.

I lived in London in 2000 and watched the World Series on Tues, Wed, & Thurs. They started after midnight and were all long games that ended after 4 AM. It was not a good work week.
