Matildas out of the group stage

Congratulations to the Matildas for beating Canada last night and progressing out of the group stage. It was a bit of a shock to be a goal down after 1 minute but they do say that being a goal up early can be a disadvantage and for Canada it ended up being so. The Matildas [...]

Queensland Roar Family Fun Day 2007

Since I’ve been sick all week and finally felt well enough to consider leaving the house, it was only fitting that I would leave to go see the Queensland Roar. Unfortunately by the time we got there it had started to spit rain which is great when you are in a drought, not so great [...]

I’m absolutely gutted and it has completely soured my feelings about football. A guy at work mentioned a few days ago about there being a conspiracy to get the big teams in [...]

Kalac’s howler [...]

Another reason why channel 9 pisses me off

Who else but channel 9 makes a World Cup Football Show without any soccer players. Lets even put on a cricketer like Shane Warne to talk about the game! Everybody’s an expert hey? Just to make it a truly Australian occasion we’ll include a well known scottish act like Simple Minds. I figure it was [...]
