Australia’s going to South Africa, and so is FGOC!
Following a circle jerk, 0-0 tie in Qatar, Australia became the second team to secure a ticket to South Africa.
It was a ho-hum game and pretty uneventful here in Australia, mostly because it happened in the middle of the night our time and it didn’t have the same suspense as 2006 – but that’s a good thing.
The Boys From Oz played a 2-0 victory over Bahrain to a pathetic 39,000 “strong” crowd in Sydney last night to further strengthen the #1 Asia position as many second teamers trying to gain coach Pim Verbeek’s affection.
Let’s just say that next week’s Australia – Japan match at The G should be a more exciting game. It’s a chance to shore up that top ranking, to beat a world class team, and to play before the best sports crowd in Australia.
I’ll be there wearing the green and gold and getting in some practice for South Africa. Plus, I’d love to see some Japanese ass getting kicked.
Speaking of – I received a full package (mark that) of stuff from Tourism South Africa to start planning our trip. It was great. Three random posters in a shipping sleeve – some random waterfall and two safari pictures, a hotel guide from 2004, and a general “Welcome to South Africa” brochure from a few years ago. Thought it was great that they sent so much stuff and I can’t wait to get more.
Maybe we can put up one of those Tourism South Africa posters at the new Bonza Bike shop in Melbourne with a big countdown calendar – 364 days to go!

Can I get a second?
Pretty dissapointing crowd in Sydney, but the Home End fans had a good time in any case. I will fly down to Melbourne for next weeks match as well. Should be heaps more enjoyable than last Wednesday
