There's a dull roar around the neighbourhood...

It may be not yet 7am, but there's been a light in most houses since four. And when Harry Kewell kicked that second goal, it was audible... we're through to the Knockouts.

Australia 2, Croatia 2.

We're through boys, we're through!

football, soccer, world cup

So, glad I'm not actually Australian because I don't think I'd have survived the match if I were. I on the edge of my seat for the last fifteen minutes or so.

So glad the Socceroos are throuhg, they deserve it.

Come on, we all managed to live through the Australia-Japan match, this was slightly different in the tense.

*commence bitching about certain referees and three yellow cards*

There's parties on all over the place. And Melbourne, the lucky sods *cough* now get the excitement of playing three of their biggest minorities. The Australia-Greece friendly, the Australia-Croatia today, and we're now up for Australia-Italy.

Considering we have biggest Greek and Italian expat communities in Australia (kay, I'll be honest, in the WORLD) in Melbourne...

Yeah, trust it to be a British ref to screw up so bad. It's not like it's our national game or anything *rolls eyes*

Ha, the best thing about watching Australia ... it's like watching an English Premier league game, most of the players are the same anyway ...

...only they're all on the same team!

Kennedy plays for one of the German teams, but otherwise... hello, first line up!
