Full marks to the Socceroos for their gutsy draw with Croatia, despite a chotic second-half stopage time. We were watching in a pub that didn’t play the audio for that game, so when the final whistle blew nobody knew why red cards were being handed out like candy, why 2 yellows didn’t warrant being sent off the pitch or even if Australia won the game in the dying seconds. And congrats to Kwejibo - a big, dumb, balding North American ape with no chin and a short temper- for leading this pool for most of the Group stage.

The Socceroos notched a whole bunch of historic firsts in their final 10 minutes of fury, exacting a small measure of revenge for the bombing of Darwin. The Americans seemed to have history on their minds as well, trying to replicate their disastrous showing in France ’98 and force me to curl up in the fetal position in a darkened corner. Next, giants Brazil and Italy.

June 8, 2006 at 21:23,   Andy said: Rugby is known of, in the broadest sense, but is only played by a few college club teams and is watched live or on TV by no one. The name “All Blacks” sounds vaguely familiar to American sports fans. Beyond that, hoping for an awareness of such nuiances as the fact that there exists both a game called Rugby League and Rugby Union is asking far too much of us.
