No Socceroos in Japan and South Korea.


(Sun 25/11/01) I knew Australia were making it hard for themselves in their home game last week, only winning by one goal. I thought the fans I heard on the radio were surprisingly pleased with themselves, given the difficulty they would face in Uruguay. Sure enough they’ve blown it tonight, losing 3-0 in Uruguay. Another play-off agony for the Socceroos, and no Aussies at the World Cup, which will be a damn shame. The rivalry between Australia and England would have been great. I would have been constantly e-mailing M&N in Sydney, sympathising or taking the piss (or being embarrassed!) We’ll have to make do with England and Ireland instead (hoping we don’t get drawn in the same group again!)
