Well, we’re out of the tournament but we went out in style. It was pretty shaky start in the first half but the performance in the second showed the world what the Soccerroos are capable of.  The two goals were both fantastic.  It seems a shame that Ghana of all teams go through with Germany.  They’re yet to score a ...

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDrq1SM9f_o[/youtube] What a disgraceful tournament France had.  They shouldn’t have been there to begin with, they spent all their time squabbling and bitching at one another and they produced three shitty performances on the field.  Good riddance.

Sadly we are coming to the final round of the Group Stages of the World Cup already.  Where has time gone?  On one hand, it feels sad to think we’re already half way through the tournament but on the other hand, I really am struggling to keep up with these ungodly kick-off times and with the end of the 9pm ...

0 min Didn’t watch Paraguay vs Slovakia.  Apparently Paraguay won 2-0 and there was much rejoicing. I don’t know about you but I’m predicting a bit of a hiding in this game.  Lets go Italy 3 New Zealand 0.  I mean lets be real here.  This match is The Best Italian Footballers in the World versus Wellington Phoenix FC. 90 ...

Man, when the World Cup is on, it completely wrecks my ability to get anything done at home.  I don’t get enough sleep, I don’t find time to read my books, I don’t have time to watch any movies and I have a ridiculous stack of laundry that is waiting to be done. Even catching up with all the various ...

Wow, that was a heartbreaking night. I was at the Pig & Whistle in the city with about seven friends.  The atmosphere was fantastic in there.  Everyone was pumped.  There were people wearing Soccerroos, Japan and the Netherland’s colours and everyone had a good feeling about the night ahead. Then, rather surprisingly, England beat Australia in the rugby 21-20.  A ...

This is it.  It’s Australia vs Ghana tonight in a must-win game for the Soccerroos. Pim Verbeek better get his shit together tactically with this squad otherwise he will have one of these to deal with after the 90 minutes is over: CARN STRAYA! The other match of the round features a clash between two undefeated footballing giants:  The Netherlands ...

I got back from the work conference in Melbourne last night.  It was a great couple of days.  We managed to get a lot done during the day and we had an interesting poker night arranged by my boss at the British Crown Hotel in Collingwood.  We had booked for a night of Texas Hold ‘Em which was held in ...

0 min I ended up skipping Netherlands vs Denmark as I was suffering a bit from World Cup fatigue.  So instead of a post-match recap, here’s a gratuitous photo of their supporters.  That way, everyone wins. More specifically however, the Netherlands did win 2-0. 45 min GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLL Somewhat surprisingly, Japan are actually winning at halftime, 1-0.  This helps make up ...

I’ve only really just started to have a look at the gaming side of the iPad in the past week.  Jen’s had Angry Birds on there from day one but the game doesn’t really interest me. To be honest, it looks like there’s not a lot of great unique gaming experiences on the iPad yet with the bestselling products generally ...
