Australia Qualifies for the World Cup!

It's a frustrating and annoying game I don't really like [despite a passing interest in West Ham and Liverpool over the years and a few memorable FA Cup Final parties with friends over the late teen and early twenties years!!] BUT I can certainly relate to Australia's desire to see us overcome the lack of respect and the cruel circumstances of some of our previous campaigns... At the end of the day it's sport and I'm an unapologetic sports fan... so this is great!!

Australia defeated Uraguay thru a penalty shootout after having clearly been the better side throughout the home and away play offs!! They held their nerve, Kewell actaully stood up AND they netted the winners when it counted... even Mark Viduka [the Phillpoussis of soccer] has been a good leader!!... A great turnaround result!! Well done Socceroos!!

Normal transmission will resume shortly!!
