LONDON -- The official attendance has been announced as 84,254 but, contrary to the way it may appear on television, Wembley Stadium is not filled with Tampa Bay fans.

Because the Bucs are officially the "home" team, white flags with the team logo were placed underneath every seat. The fans have enjoyed waving them to the music coming over the loudspeaker system.

Speaking of "the wave," it's apparently still in vogue in England. There was an enthusiastic rendition in the third quarter to the sounds of that old classic from the '60s, "Wipeout," by the Ventures.
