The Giants kicked off, and the Dolphins are at their own 25 yard line to start the drive.

Many said the same when the English Anthem was played at Croke Park (in Ireland), which was where hundreds of Englishmen killed the Irish who were revolting against the Union at the time.

It's broadcasted live on Sky... But then it always is. I'm watching on NFL.com. You have to pay more for Sky, it's not a mainstream channel. Highlights are on at 10pm tonight. The problem with those are that there's bound to be commentators explaining every last detail that I know about, but most people won't. So, I can't say who the commentators are, I'm afraid - although I will be able to tomorrow!

Usually for the Super Bowl, we get American commentators talking as though we have no idea what's going on. "That's a football, the players have to control that during the game" they said at one point in February... But Sky will have commentators that are pretty decent in terms of them not assuming we know nothing.

The weather here - darkness is just falling, it's blowing fairly strongly in London, and it's that fine rain that is almost worst than steady rain. It's what you associate with English weather.

The Dolphins will be the fans' favourites today for a few reasons:
  1. They are 0-7, and therefore the underdogs
  2. They have a British player in their training camp
  3. The odd person will know that Marino used to play for them

And it's half-time with the score at New York Giants 13, Miami Dolphins 0. Miami have given the Giants a good game, the numbers don't indicate a 13-0 scoreline. The turnovers, of which there have been three fumbles from Miami, have been their downfall. Oh, and a missed FG that could have put them ahead. The Dolphins have just made four silly mistakes, and it's costing them.

But Eli Manning continues his awful evening with a fumble! The Dolphins can finally get into the Giants half, and they do so at the NYG 49. Now, if only they could get on the scoreboard... Brandon Jacobs has been the key offensively for the Giants. Because Manning has been awful.
