But the Aussies - great stuff! But my goodness what a match
Ah, yes, we Australians are quite proud of our Socceroos. And by quite proud I mean we pretend that we like soccer despite the fact that over 80% of our population doesn't know when the World Cup is until the News tells us our team has made it in. Then, of course, we're behind them 110% and have been for years, real soccer fans each and every one.
I assume our fervent support of the Socceroos is because they're doing well this time. We love winners down here but only if they're ours. It's why we love cricket and rugby and AFL, because we win all the time. Soccer is just one of those, "Well, we're winning this week so of course the sport is interesting" things.
Which, of course, I'm entirely behind. 110%. Have been for years. I'm a real soccer fan. And will have been until we get kicked out, in which case I go back to my usual indifference.
