The picture says it all. We are on our way to the World Cup in Germany!!!! We did it tough - beating U-R-Gay (sorry Urugay - can't spell, who cares) on penalties. So nerve wracking. We were up 1-0 but because they beat us last time 1-0, the game went into 30mins over time. No one scored so it was decided on penalty shootout. Mark Schwarzer take a bow.The first penalty taken by U-R-Gay was stopped by Schwarz. You could tell the shooter was going to stuff it up because he paused twice on his run up and changed his mind where he was going to kick it. The pressure was too much for him. But then Mark Viduka almost stuffed it as well. I was thinking he's taking it, it's in the bag for sure. He took a lil slow run up and MISSED the goal completely!!!!!!!
BTW i agree with TOny Vidmar's comments - the other side needs to get some humble pie, especially Recoba (leading striker for U-R-Gay) who said that we didn't consider us a chance and they had a divine right to be there. Well, in the nicest possible way screw you. Recoba's actually a very good player, so I dont understand why they took him off in the last 15 minutes. THey needed him badly, well because he's a great attacking player.
Now that we are in the world cup after 32 years, what are we actually going to do? I think we'll make some noise but honestly we are very slim chance of going all the way - at least we'll be in the FIFA World Cup computer game!
The Sport of Kings (well after basketball!).
Peace.
p.s. Did you know that Ashby (US), Tim (Canada, UK), Nam (Japan), Jaarden (Europe) are going overseas for a very loooong time? But Chris Lau (HK) is coming back for a week?!

dont get cocky now mr dj. lol congratulations.
let the games begin.
It's been 32 years since we last played in the world cup - it's a well deserved victory. You don't know what its like, every 4 years to miss out - very heart wrenching. And now we're in - and we can show the world what we are capable of.
And yeah, its bout that time!
