It was another sleepless night due to the wonders of the World Cup.
I’m in with the cool kids; I’ve been invited out with the group for every Australian match. I’m in the Fantasy Football League and kicking arse! I would be bouncing around today, if only I had the energy, the jubilation and excitement can only last so long without sleep.
We had a plan, concise agenda, meet at N’s place, dinner at Leichhardt, get to Universal Bar early and set ourselves up for the Czech v’s Italy match. N. was the buffer between A. and I, I wore my Czech Rosický jersey in a sea of Italiano’s. The Italy win was mildly disappointing, there was still the Aussie game and the Italians celebrating through Norton Street was priceless, I couldn’t wipe off my smile.
We had a car ‘planted’ in one of the nearby streets, naturally cab’s would’ve been difficult to find, we had a cab booked from Chippendale at 2.45am – Unbelievable, I never thought I would ever hear it! Off to the Casino for the next game… And what a game it was!
Australia has made it through to the next round!
Why Guus replaced Schwarzer we will never know? What an exciting game, adrenaline charged and the best news for Australian football! I can’t wait for the next match against Italy! A. and I will be rivals again.

Wooho!!!
How are you holding up this morning? Got enough Red Bulls?
must admit, even i got into the excitement this morning, cheering and yelling at the tv!
ergh, soccer fever is seeping thru my skin- damn osmosis!!!
It was a great game! Happy dance in the lounge chair. Strange though, we drew, yet still go through to the next round...go figure...nah, I'm rapt.
cBabe - only one coffee, I'm holding up pretty well - I'm dreading after lunch...
Vik - I'm so happy!
Nick - I can go into the intricacies of the elimination process for you if you want?
I am still getting over the horror that was replacing of schwarzer with that Kalac. My heart went into palpitations every time the ball went anywhere near him. I think at one stage one of our boys even got in front of the goal and made a save for him! disgraceful!
is it just me, or are the croatian players the worst for complaining and being rude to the officials?
I am surprised that Australia pulled out the tie, but it means more hysterical football action...
