Well, well, well. What an intense match. I'm sure the SBS would be happy with the ratings they get for tonight's match. Summary: 1 - 0 victory at home for the Aussies and a 4 - 2 penalty shootout to the Aussies to decide who goes into the world cup. Uruguay had their turn last time, now it's ours - w00t!
That was a real top effort by the Aussies. Getting that crucial first goal and holding off Uruguay for the rest of the match - truly a dream run. Makybe Diva, Coalition Senate Control, and World Cup qualification truly makes for a spectacular year. The penalty shootout was the tensest part of the match for me (and probably many others) - Mark Schwarzer and 2 saves, omg! What a hero - he almost saved 3. When he saved that second goal, I was out of my seat in a flash. Stacks of congratulations are in order for coach Guus and the Aussie team. Well done and good luck in Deutschland '06.
I would also like to make a pointer about the telecast. I might have been living under a rock or something like that, but since when has the "virtual spectator" been around? It looks like something out of Fifa 2006, LOL. The virtual spectator is fantastic, i'd even rate it more than any other analysis tool from any other sport. It should definately feature in more games in the future. (PS: Something that shouldn't feature in future telecasts is Ned Zelic, didn't look very professional slumped over the chair).
Anyways... congrats to Australia, bad luck Uruguay, and hello Germany 2006! (Both for me and the Socceroos, lol).
