Socceroos



Everyone was so excited this morning. Tired, some of them, but in such good spirits and just chortling. The joy of winning after they thought it was lost. The pleasure of seeing the Socceroo coach behaving like a real Australian when the ref awarded the goal to Japan. Would he have claimed innocence had the Socceroos not scored 3 goals in the last 10 minutes? 32 years in the making and are we enjoying every minute of it!!! It has lit up the littlies and we are now looking for more soccer pitches and more trainers. Do we all love it along with our footie...you bet. Joy. The pure joy and cmeraderie of sport. Sport as a social adhesive...gluing us all together and on the set! Fun, jubilation and sheer letting your spirits flow. The crowd was certainly going off in Kaiserslautern and I am so glad. The Socceroos have the whole nation behind them in every spot we are. We love them, we love soccer, some are ready for the long haul of late nights. No one stayed home...they all ran in to work with their version of reality and so full of it. It was faaaaaaaaaaantastic!! Cahill will never be forgotten. He is now a legend and Aloisi is making Adelaide so excited!! We have our own World Cup star. This is really something.
