What a night for the Aussie football team (surely it's time to move past the name "soccer" and in particular the name the Socceroos? C'mon, that's worse than the Kiwis with the All Blacks, All Whites, White Sticks, and, yes the Tall Blacks basketball team). But I digress.

Nice to see the Aussies have made the World Cup finals in Germany next year. I tried to watch it on the SBS website but the video wasn't working so I had to settle for the audio only. Needless to say it was quite tense but being at work I was trying to keep a lid on it. The Aussie girl here gave me a football (we're sponsoring the World Cup so have a Deutsche Postbank World Cup ball each) and I used it to bounce my head against during the penalties. As you can see, I wasn't the only one who got a ball!


Anyway, go you good things. Hopefully we can now look forward to an appearance by Roy & HG doing a World Cup thing. The mind boggles to think of what mascot they would invent. I'm hoping that either through work or through the lottery that they call "ticket allocation" I can get some tickets as we may well be in continental Europe by then.

Amongst the funnier things I've seen to illustrate the win was this: http://www.theage.com.au/flash/soccer_kickoff/soccerKickoff.html?from=rss. However, my true favourite is found on the Postbank website: http://fussball.postbank.de/elfmeter.jsc . Hey, we're only a bank, it's not bad....
