Some of you may have heard that there is a World Cup about to kick-off in South Africa. I thought some people might be interested in a bit of discussion. Due to time zone differences and the fact that I am a lazy bastard but still short on time ... I will probably only be a casual observer. But if you lot are interested/excited (and considering some of your lineage there is a fair chance) you can all talk about it here so then all I have to do to catch up is read a few posts  |

Australia won't win the World Cup.
Some other team will.

Top 5? You know how this finals thing works right? Semi-finalists maybe  Sorry, sometimes (most times) I can't suppress my internal shit-stirrer. I'm afraid I am not brave enough or well enough informed to have a guess beyond the media favourites. But the beauty of football and a finals series is that the teams as a whole only need to be competitive to get close enough. Then it could come down to a single moment of brilliance, cheating or a complete make the beast with two backs-up by one individual to determine the team's tournament ... all egos, reputations, silky passes, pointless step-overs and experience aside. |

Dodgy win against the Kiwis.
Somewhat lucky win against the Danes.
Soundly beaten by the footballing superpower that is the US.
As far as preparation for the tournament proper I wouldn't have thought that was too much out of the ordinary. But the Captain's response in saying we are on track after the US defeat has not inspired much confidence.
