The Conference Championships were won by the Philadelphia Eagles (who beat the 49ers, whose QB fell foul of a torn elbow ligament early on) and the Kansas City Chiefs, who beat the Bengals, avenging last year's result.
(Mahomes, the Chief's quarter back injured an ankle in that game and it remains to be seen if his renowned mobility is adversely affected in this - the big one, the SUPERBOWL, k.o. 11 30 pm today our time.)
The build up lasts a week as the Americans dont do things by halves and its worth reprising the NFL Show's coverage which went out last night, whether you are new to the game or not.
The presenters had a ball, as usual, and they are very entertaining (and informative).
The superbowl is one of the world's biggest (and best imo) sports events, whether you get it or not.
There are now several games in Europe which are extremely popular (2 of those I think were in the UK, 1 in Germany).
Looking forward to it.
The halftime show lasts 13 mins and features Rihanna, if that's your cup of tea.
I'll be having a drink, but it wont be tea..
I favour the Eagles but its a game to watch, not to invest in.
