well I was born in Argentina so I suppose you could say it's in my blood. It is difficult to call it football here since most people assume I am talking about aussie rules =(

anyway, Australia did better than Austria and just as good as Switzerland in the last World Cup, despite some terrible refereeing in our matches (how often do you see someone get three yellow cards?). So we're practically a football nation now =)


The penalty kick Italy got was a joke. If things ran good back then we would have had a quarter final Australia vs. Switzerland.

Btw, Austria boycotted the world cup. We don't waste our time to participate in unimportant tournaments like this.

Austria's world domination in football starts two months from now.

That was a joke. Even the italians here (there is a very large Italian community) thought it was disgusting. We got the short end of the refereeing stick throughout the entire World Cup, and also in the Asia cup (Grella getting straight sent off for touching a Japanese player in the face while going for a header) and it really pissed me off that we could have easily made the semis (sif Ukraine).

The fact that Italy went on and won the world cup after only beating us through a crap decision made the whole thing worse. I got so pissed off at all the diving that went on in that World Cup that I got turned off football for a long time.
