It’s going to be a good day to play England. Also fun fact about the day. When England left NYC, they greased the flagpole so it would be difficult putting up our American flag and take down their Union Jack. The British also fired a cannonball at Americans standing on the docks but it missed, landed in the water, and soaked the protesters.
