Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Congratulations Socceroos - you've got us through to the World Cup! I was there at the MCG when Iran stole qualification from us, I watched the TV from Montevideo 4 years ago when Harry Kewell so nearly got us through... I was beginning to think we'd never make it....
Congratulations Frank Lowy, John O'Neill, Mark Viduka, Guus Hiddink, Mark Schwarzer (whose 2nd penalty save is one of the best I've ever seen) and all the players - and let's not forget Frank Farina who led the team until just a few months ago.
It's going to be some late nights next year here in Australia as we watch the World Cup live from Germany!...

According to "David Lewis" of Fox Sports,
"Aloisi, shirt stripped off, sprinted the length of the pitch to celebrate with teammates and fans, as the enormity of what had just unfolded hit home like an shot of cocaine."
A shot of WHAT??? How exactly does a shot of cocaine "hit home", David Lewis?
Otherwise, top job by the Socceroos - Go Aussies!!

That is one of the most bizarre similes I've ever heard!
BTW, the only Australian-based player who played against Uruguay is Archie Thompson - and he's playing tomorrow night at Olympic Park in Melbourne (everyone else in the team plays club football overseas). If you're in Melbourne, come along - there's a great atmosphere at the Melbourne Victory games and a very high standard of play.
