First You Get the Women, Then You Get the Power, Then You Get The *Tickets*


I get a lot of grief from my Aussie friends for being an American, stealing away Aussie women, and living the high life in this beautiful country.

Apparently, I also steal World Cup tickets to watch their team…

World Cup's ticket sell-out

FIFA says tickets are sold out for the opening and final matches of next year's World Cup, as well as all games involving England, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Ireland and The Netherlands.

In a statement yesterday, FIFA said the semi-finals and all Cape Town, Nelspruit and Pretoria matches were sold out as well.

Australia has not officially qualified but just one draw in its remaining three qualifiers will see it through.


I really had no idea how lucky we must have been to get these tickets. And, despite the bitching people might read here on “Four Guys, One Cup,” we really are appreciative that we scored these tickets and will root for Australia to go as far as possible.

But, it’s still pretty funny that four asshole Americans have these prized Australian World Cup tickets.

I know you are waiting for it Drew.

I have not read this yet and would like to know the source. It is testament to Australians for getting behind our "Socceroos" and following them everywhere. There was a contingent of 500 or so who went to Tashkent in Uzbekistan last year for a Qualifier.

Out of the thousands of people including myself who have tickets,I think the 4 of you will be welcome if you are "rooting" for the Aussies. Although some may agree with the asshole term.

I assume you know the connotation of Rooting in Australia.

Also I am married to the best Aussie Sheila we have have so I am not too worried how many Aussie sheilas you bag.

Well, I dunno about these guys, but my plan is certainly to root as many Sheilas as I can in S.A.
