[QUOTE="STARP_Social_Officer, post: 2886286, member: 41202"] As an Australian, I have mixed feelings about our sudden victory. Yes, we finally won a World Cup match - OK, yes, we finally scored a World Cup goal, that's fine, OK, now SHUT UP. Australia are such bad winners when it comes to sport, and now it's going to be "in your face" type behaviour from the media for the next ten or eleven years. We'll DEMAND admittance to South Africa 2010 sinply for winning a match. Basically, we haven't won anything. We still have to beat Brazil and Croatia. We MIGHT be able to squeeze a narrow win or a draw out of the Croats, but Brazil will plough through the Socceroos like corn stalks, so at most we'll get six points, enough to go to the second round, in which we'll probably have to play Italy, who will again act as a sort of eleven-man combine harvester. So it's not really much of a victory, though I'm happy we finally did it. I just wish we'd stop crowing about it already. I'm also pleased the United States lost to the Czech Republic. I think it's nice that there's one sport the Americans aren't that good at. No offence, Americans...oh, well, yeah, offence. Who cares? I'm 5,000 miles away and we won last night and you didn't! :p :p :p [/QUOTE]
