But people- let's get some perspective here. The Socceroos are not going to win the World Cup. This is only Round 1. One newspaper called this victory the 'greatest sporting moment in Australian history'. Wait a minute- what about Phar Lap? What about Makaby Deva? What about Cathy Freeman? Or the America's Cup? Stephen Bradford? My latest trip to the gym (my mother would be proud anyway...)
I went to bed in the last 10 mintues too!!! Then I heard all these cheers from the common room so I switched it back on AFTER the second goal. I felt so ripped off!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can get some gym time together this hols?

Mate, whenever people ask me what the greatest sporting moment in history was, I will tell them it was when the Schnitzel went to the gym.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I'll try & work it into conversation at morning tea today!
TCG.><>.
typical Aussie sports fans - give up on the team before the end! I've noticed it happen at every rugby game we've been to in Australia...
ReplyDeleteUs "kiwis" have learnt to stick it out to the VERY END - I saw the last 8mins ;-P
Anyway, your visits to the gym definitely count as great sporting achievements! :-)
And what about Todd Woodbridge and his record breaking 83 doubles titles???
ReplyDeleteJT- lets DEFINITELY go to the gym dude! I'm in!
ReplyDeleteWhat about when Australia beat America in the 1999 Baseball Intercontinental Cup! We beat them at their own game man!
ReplyDeleteIs that true SHannyn?? That is actually pretty impressive!
ReplyDeleteWho is Todd Woodbridge?
ReplyDeleteAm I a bad person for not knowing most of those names at the end?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the game tonight! --it'll be fun watching brazil... i mean aussie 'kick' some butt! i mean balls... i mean... wait-a-minute...
