Socceroos' final hop...

This will be one of the hundreds of blog posts on the Australia vs Italy World Cup Match. I am slightly disappointed that we lost, of course. There will be an incredible amount of debate and discussion over that final penalty. Despite my usual complete lack of interest in round-ball, I found myself tracking the Socceroos' progress through the World Cup with fresh interest, and lived every thrilling moment of tonight's match.

I thought that Australia dominated for most of the match, actually, and it was most unfortunate that a stupid referee dashed Australia's hopes to make it to the quarter finals. Distressed at the moment, I find myself, to see Iemma Dilemma getting his ugly mug on SBS's coverage of the chaos in Norton Street in Sydney.

So there you have it. A loss to Australia. Now we move on to the next great international sporting event, le Tour de France, which kicks off (no pun intended) on 1 July.

Bad luck fellas.

Back to regular blogging soon, hopefully.

Until next time...
