aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, we, australia, just lost to italy in the last 10 seconds of the game!!
the game was ours, we had it! majority posession when an italian striker takes a dive in front of our goal.
10 seconds, the ball was in there half for 80% of the 2nd half. I was there shouting "FUCK OFF!!" 8 times in front of 10,000 people in circular quay just beneath our sydney harbour bridge.
this was history, this was the first time we've ever qualified, the first time we've ever made it this far. You would not beleive the frenzy people have been in over the last few weeks, we're a nation normally devoted to rugby and other sports like cricket.
One bad decision by a referee will stop a major cultural and sporting shift in the australian psyche,
it's 5 am and im still reeling in anger.
soccer is not boring, not from what i saw tonight. the police feared us winning, it would have been total anarchy on the streets.
