OK, now that I've gotten that out of my system, we're off to the World Cup for the second time ever and the first time in 32 years.

Thanks John Safran for getting that curse lifted... :-)

And just incidentally, I did find it funny that the goal keeper was wearing black with his name (Schwartzer) emblazoned across the back... heh.

Ah, I wondered if anybody was interested in this.

Yep. Me, my indoor soccer team and the couple of thousand others.

Not as many car horns going as when Greece won the European cup though. :-)

Weeee are the Chaaampionsss, weee are the chaaaaaaaaammmmmpions....

And my entire workplace watched it as well!

Bloody great stuff. I didn't get to watch it (not sure if it was even on over here), but from the web updates it looks as if it was a close and figer-nail biting game. Hopefully the last play-off Australia will be involved in.

I just know England are going to draw Australia (and probably Holland) in the group. Roll on 9th December.

And after all that we get Japan, Croatia and Brazil.

Man, if we get through to the G16 it'll be a bloody miracle!

Nice that Croatia "A" get to play Crotia "B" ;)

Woohoo! I jumped in the air! I punched the air! I Woohoo'd at the top of my lungs!

And while I was doing that, my Aussie friend Mick was missing out in Japan, so I set up my webcam to point at my monitor, got the SBS webcast going, then Mick connected to me through Yahoo to watch the game and Skype to listen to it. Worked a treat!

And yeah, it's all down to John Safran. Thanks John!

This means that a Canadian return to the World Cup can't be too far behind!

Wait, actually, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. We're currently ranked 86th overall.

Man, that was a very ingenious way of doing it! I'm not sure how my brother managed to find a live version of it, I must ask. Apparently he did though, cos there were texts flying back and forth all night.
