The Quadrennial Global Round-Ball Extravaganza
McTaggart:
I think disaster is pretty accurate. There was a lot of hope for the Socceroos and it was a huge blow to Our* pride. It's killed a lot of hype for the World Cup and generally everyone I've seen today has been glum or grumpy. Sure it's not a tsunami but there are degrees of disaster.
*I feel I'll need to explain this but exactly what I mean is kinda hard to pin down and I should really be studying.
Jimmy the Squid:
Who the fuck thought we would beat Germany? Seriously people, how deluded do you have to be?

I dunno man it's partly that horrible watering down of the word disaster but I'm used to news programs doing that shit by now. Really it is more that I am surprised everyone is so surprised, or something?
Like, I do not know much about soccer at all but Germany are really good, right? As in, may actually win. I think maybe I was always quite prepared to write 2006 off as an anomaly and that Australia should consider every World Cup we actually make it to as a blessing, let alone making it past the group stage.
Inlander:
And while we're at it, does anyone else feel that it's kind of anticlimactic now that we're qualifying through Asia? Instead of playing a whole bunch of ridiculously easy games against island nations and then having to travel half-way around the world to play a South American team which was several leagues in class above us and all the teams we'd been recently playing against? Being in the World Cup this time doesn't really feel special.
