World Cup fever

... or perhaps World Cup Malaise would have been a better title.

Watched Australia get thrashed 4-0 by Germany last night.  Football being what it is, there was some luck involved in that outcome.  If we'd been luckier it might have been only 4-1.  But the Germans could easily have scored 5 or 6 times so there's not much to complain about.  Except for Tim Cahill's red card, which looked pretty soft to me.  But again, the Australian team should have known that the ref likes to hand out reds and shouldn't have been making silly challenges like that.

Still, I'm looking forward to the next few matches.  If if if Australia can beat Ghana and Serbia we'll be okay. But it doesn't look good.  In light of all that, why not take some time to answer the new poll to the right of my blog page concerning who will win the tournament?
