Australia 19.00
Argentina 1.15

Draw 7.00

The Saudis beat the Argies and we beat the Saudies, no?

The world cup -

Just heard on the radio 3AW -
one glass of beer costs $25 in Qatar.

I don't like being a tourist - you get ripped off.

Didn't you people see it?

Was I the only true blue, dinky die Aussie who stayed up to watch it?

I had trouble sleeping with the cold and the rain of last night. I checked in on the score at halftime. Then I played a mobile game for a while. Later, I checked the score again with Australia 1-nil up. I kept looking back every few minutes, whilst I facebook posted. A lot of commentary stating crosses at the 90 minute mark. So, I suppose that was injury time. Happy to see Australia get through. Now, they will have to up their game and do Argentina.

Soccer is a game like that. Australia are good enough to score a goal against almost any opposition. In the first half they deserved to have had 3 goals scored against them. The opposition choked a bit and expected to easily win a lot.

Be Proud.

Not Proud Boy.

When it was 1am I was very tempted but when it changed to 2am I didn't make it. Also concerned with disturbing a sick 5 yo who does not sleep the best.

Soccer is more important than anything else in the world.

It is about Australia's 14th highest profile sport and I have a relative who played for them almost in a world cup. (Who would not agree with me).

I agree - I thought Denmark would easily win after seeing the first 15 minutes.
