THE SUPER BOWL (2)

What a great match! Close until the final three minutes, when an uncharacteristically poor pass from Peyton Manning gave an interception touchdown for the Saints and too much of a lead.

In the end, the better side won. Not because they had the better players, but because they had the more inventive tactics and belief in themselves. The onside kick at the beginning of the second half was great. So too the 2-point conversion.

So that's the end of that for the next six months. Roll on Vancouver ...
