Maybe I do love work...

Just in case the prospect of cheering Australia into the final eight wasn't enough motivation for me to get behind the Socceroos, a tempting cross has been delivered to me. This afternoon there's a social soccer match for my work, during work hours! This place really has gone football crazy. My manager rescheduled our team meeting tomorrow to have a 2pm kickoff instead of the 10am start so we can watch the Aussies tonight (and get a good sleep in).
I truly picked the right day to go back to work! One more Australian win and I can envisage a scratch match later this week. A good game of "foodball" is just the preparation I need for Saturday's impending clash of the titans down at Norwood/Mullum. Meso happy.
Does this mean I'm a soccer professional, considering I am being paid to play? Or at least more of a pro than you guys?

Watched the game at an outdoor arena in Tübingen yesterday...and it was a steaming pile of horseshit!
Na ja, it must be said that we had our chances and didn't convert them, and I don't really think the red card on Italy was deserved, but neither was the penalty.
It pisses me off that the refs in this comp make on bad call (eg. the red card), and then look to fix it by making another later on (eg. penalty).
Oh well, there's always 2010, when we have to do it without Guus. :(
Tschüß,

I can't help feeling a little bitter as well. I'd much rather feel a lager, to be honest.
Shame I didn't get to use the awesome chant you posted: "Who let the Roos out? Guus! Guus! Guu-Guu-Guus!"
