Freak! This is turning into a soccer blog :)

Friday, June 23rd, 2006

Eh, you’d think we won :) But Australia has actually drawn which puts us through to the next round. Great, more stress. Are Italy any good?

Anyway, some non-soccer posts will make it up here soon after we are knocked out.

What do you think the likelihood is of someone stumbling upon a blog that is not indexed many places and is not yet linked to? What would it take to increase that likelihood? I don’t think submitting to Search Engines will cut it.

I’ll keep you posted…

Halftime and we are nil all with Brazil (Oops not anymore!)

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

I am impressed and stressed. Everytime Kaka gets near the box my heartrate rockets! We look good in offense so I am hoping we can put a score on the board (Even if there is an equaliser).

We need to maintain the excellent level of pressure from the first half - as long as we can keep Brazil moving into the mode of play they are familiar with we remain a good chance. That’s assuming Brazil’s manager doesn’t find the combo that switches Brazil into ‘Ginga’ mode… (A computer game that features a ‘Ginga’ mode could be popular - hmm maybe it could be called Joga Bonito).

Crap. Well, while I wrote that bracketted thought, I missed Adrianho score against us. Damn my whimsical tangent!

Australia beat Japan in their first World Cup final win

I wish I had some commentary to add against this fact but I don’t. But I may have some difficulty sleeping - Socceroos please score earlier so I don’t stress for 82 minutes before you power home for your 3-1 win.
