Oh, boy. My nerves are shot to pieces. No, they didn't have to score 2 goals, they had to score five.

1-0 after full time.
1-0 after extra time.
4-2 on penalties.

Well, before the shoot-out, the commentators asked everyone in Australia who was religious to pray, and I did...

We're off to Germany, everybody!!!

Well done the Socceroos!

What is it about sport that it invokes such strong emotions?

maybe the fact that their the first Australian team in over 30 years to do it? that they've been through years of heartbreak, near misses, and lying officials? maybe that's got something to do with it?
sorry Sepp Blatter, all your lying still couldn't stop australia making the world cup.

the ref was woeful the whole way through, Uruguay shouldn't have even scored in the first game.
the reason i mentioned sepp blatter was that he promised if he was elected president of fifa he would give an oceania team direct entry to the world cup, then 'changed his mind' (i.e. lied). but no matter how much he lied, you can't stop the spirit of an aussie!
also, did anyone hear the president of the english football association saying how he hoped there would be an australia vs. england world cup final? wouldn't it just be the best!!!!!! some revenge for the ashes, oh how sweet! and, australia flogged england 5-0 in their last friendly, so, who knows??

I just love that this is the one sport we have tried to be good at and have really struggled on the world scene (well the one i can think of anyway), and now we are in the World Cup. Go you good thing!
