    Canadians just sitting there politely, finishing off their 7th pint, are pulled into the brawl. They are tethered at the wrists to the British.

    Having never thrown a punch before, they arrange themselves in an unusual formation and fight in as unpredictable a style as any drunkard.

    They are injured and maimed. Wounds that would give them special privileges from their mother.

    They mercilessly swing from all directions, knocking Germany out of France’s personal space, and sending their twirly moustaches in a tizzy.
