STORYLINE:

Devoted sports fan President George Bush attended the annual Army-Navy American football match on Saturday, but took time to address the players beforehand.

He told the teams that his thoughts were also with members of the armed services fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The annual match between the Army and Navy military training acadamies has become a traditional sports rivalry.

In a locker room pep talk with Navy players, the president said: "My mind is on the game today, but my mind is elsewhere, too. My mind is with the men and women who wear our uniform as we wage a noble cause. Know that our cause is just because it is right. Make no mistake about it - we will prevail."

To Army players, the president said: "The enemy made a mistake. We will win. Thanks for your commitment to your country. It is a fabulous country."

The players cheered after his brief speeches.
