soccer madness!!!!!
those of us who live in oz already know. for those of you not living here and are just waking up to the reality of the fact, australia has qualified for the world cup. the first time in nearly 32 years. we were at the game last night, and oh what a glorious match it was. the result after full time was 1-0 australia. which basically meant an overtime play due to uruguay winning by the exact same score earlier in the week in south america. at the end of overtime there was no score. so then the game went to the inevitable penalty shoot out. australia wins that 4-2 and the nation goes crazy.
i came home last night after the game and could not sleep due to the ringing in my ears from the screaming crowd, and the drums from the only guy to bring his whole drum kit to the game sitting 3 rows behind. i also have no voice due to all the yelling, but i couldn't hear myself anyhow. so for the next few days (or even months maybe) the country goes wild for soccer madness. it was an incredible game. and a small note to the uruguayan team- better luck next time.
