Beaten but far from disgraced

Last Sunday Claudia, James, Luke and I were fortunate enough to see the Socceroos go up against the might of the #1 world ranked Brazilian soccer team. Though our unfancied band of journeymen and not yeard heard ofs were the outsiders, they performed with aplomb and were it not for a severe pounding from the officiating referee, we might have scraped through for a draw. As it was, the 2 to 1 penalty count and the class of the Brazilians won through in the end, 2-0.

It was a great weekend of drinking, eating as much pork as you could throw a stick at and of being proudly and overtly patriotic. It was a long drive for a weekend though well worth it. It's a shame we didn't manage to knock the world champs out, but we didn't make the world stand up and take notice of Australian football. Well done lads.
