World Cup

At least over here in the US, we get the World Cup soccer at a sensible time, like 3pm.  Thanks to wireless networks and web coverage of the game between Australia and Croatia, the Australians in our meeting today were all following the game.  The Poms with us did likewise a couple of days ago.  The Americans were vaguely interested in the main, but not on the bandwagon as much as us Aussies and the Europeans.

2-2 draw, a good enough result to get Australia through to the last 16 in the tournament.  This is completely new territory for the team.

We’ve done well to get out of gaol in our win over Japan and again today.  Hopefully we’ll get off to a better start against Italy next week.  I think they are quite beatable.
