< Australia 3 Japan 1 >
Australia v Japan – Pre-match thoughts:
AHHHH!!! I’M SO EXCITED!!! IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE A LIVERPOOL CUP FINAL!! Hahaha. Almost. Almost. It’s half an hour before the kickoff, and so far my room has 2 people, my brother and I. My mother and father are also expected to come in later… my mother sort of promised she’ll watch this match. It’ll be her first football match! Hahahaa. Expect some amount of explaining to her throughout the match.
Hahaha. I kept screaming “AHHHH… SO CUTE!!” just now. First it was because of the kangaroo inflatable the fans were carrying, then later when I saw a kangaroo flag, and when I saw the real cutie… HARRYYYYY!!!!!!
My brother is going crazy over “HUUS HIDDINK? (Guus Hiddink’s first name apparently is pronounced as ‘huus’ – as in ‘whose’) He kept repeating “HUUS HIDDINK? HUUS HIDDINK?” I told him about it when I heard it over the radio. The funny guy kept asking the soccer pundit who’s Hiddink. Get it?
AHHH!! ANOTHER CUTIE!!Hahahaha. There was this fan dressed as a kangaroo, with a “kangaroo crossing” sign hung round his neck. Funny guy.

AHHH!!!!! THEY’RE SOOOO CUTEEEEE!!!!!!
I LOVE KANGAROOS!!!!
Okok, calm down calm down. I’m sounding girly. Hahaha.
Ummm… but today I’m so mad! I wanna beat the Japanese! WIN THEM! GO AUSSIES! WHACK THE JAPS!!!! I know… Japanese are Asians, so I’m suppose to be on their side in a way… but I can’t stand them! I remember they were soo arrogant when they played Singapore in a WC qualifying match. Nakata looks sooooo arrogant. And I’m not really a fan of those J-fashion style sort of thing. Their girls… the ‘kawaii’ (cute) look turns me off. I saw the TNP DVD section on Japan today… and their girls with their “kawaii” impersonation just got on my nerves. Bloody hell, it’s a football match, not Sailor Moon anime. Well, I guess the same can be said about those Samba women who turn up wearing nothing but bras, but never mind… the kawaii thing just gets to me more.
And then.. that Nakamura… idiot guy. I read he said something alone the lines of how they can “play a quick one-two through midfield, or dribble towards the box” to lure a foul from the Aussies and then they’d get a goal. Understand why? Because he’s the set-piece taker for the Japanese. Grrr.
-_-
Just saw some Japanese fans on TV. They predicted a 5-0 win for the Japs, and at the end of it, started waving and going “YAYYY!!” That kawaii thing again. Bloody hell. I just can’t stand that.
Act cute.
Grr.. Lala is the queen of acting cute. I can’t stand others doing the same.
The stats are against Australia. They just showed the embarrassing statistic of Australia having not won a single match in the WC before. And also, they haven’t scored a WC goal before too. Oh well. And also, the Japanese have won most of their games against Australia in the past. In fact I was looking through like almost 10 of the past matches, and the Aussies only won one out of those.
Also, Australia are ranked 42nd in the FIFA rankings, while the Japs are like… 18th?
One more reason why I don’t like the Japs?
They’re BLUE.
Of course, I don’t like South Korea either. Even though they’re in red. Know why? Their nickname is the “RED DEVILS”. Go figure that out. Red Devils.
Oh shit. I feel such a stupid fan. I can’t even recognize half of the Aussie squad. I know their names, but hardly anything beyond just names. SOB! I can’t even recognize their faces!!! How embarrassing. I promise I’ll learn though. I started being a Liverpool fan only knowing Owen too anyway.
COME ON SOCCEROOOOOOOOOOOSSSS!!
Fantasy watch:
Two Aussies. Namely Harry my captain and Bresciano.
And one Jap. Nakamura.
Half-time thoughts:
I’M SO ANGRYYY!!!!!
GRRRR
GRRRR
GRRRR
WHO ARE THE DIRTY PLAYERS MAN!!!!!
TAKAHARA…
THE JAPS ARE SO DIRTY!!!!
I’m so angry… I almost cried just now. So infuriating.
My brother is going to get his ‘lucky sweet’. He says he doesn’t know whether it’ll work on Australia (like it does for Liverpool) though, but that’s a nice thought anyway.
My whole family is behind the Aussies… and that’s encouraging to know. My mother’s debut match, and she had very very interesting opinions and views. She spoke mainly in a mixture of Hokkien and English, and I’ll just translate what are some of the comments she made.
Firstly, she said that the Japs are very “fierce”, keep making the Aussies fall down. She also said that the Japaneses are very ugly… (hahaha oops) and that they are stronger (I was like, “HUH?”) because they eat more fish. Ummm… yeah, the fish comment was quite refreshing, but she still stuck to it. The only horrible comment she made was when she said she think Japan can win 1-0 (‘cause they eat more fish) even before the Japs scored.
OMG… thinking about that goal makes me fume. I can’t remember when was the last time I was left fuming over an “illegal” goal. So infuriating. The part about it being my player Nakamura who scored did not comfort me, but made it worse actually. I’m so bloody angry. That Takahara… any person could see he slammed Schwarzer down as Schwarzer was reaching to catch the ball!
Takahara…
Grr… rooster head.
Yeah, he has a rooster hairstyle.
I can’t stand the Japs, I can’t stand the Japs!!
My kangaroo is cuter, more kawaii than them!!
Sob…
The Japs aren’t even good. They’re just shite! (although Aussies aren’t exactly Brazil quality either) Grr… I’m just so mad…
So unfair…
I’m really willing to give up my Nakamura goal… (also happens to be my first goal in fantasy but I don’t care about that now!)

Full-time thoughts:
OMG!!!
OMG!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THINK I’VE NEVER LOVED TIMMY CAHILL MORE THAN NOW IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!TIMMY CAHILLLLLLLLL!!!!
Hehehe. I know he’s an Evertonian… but I always had a soft spot for him too…
Wow… do you know how many passes Australia made? 498!!! Almost 500!!
Hehehe. Let the Aussie fans get a taste of what it’s like to have a Liverpool-style comeback… When Timmy got his 2nd goal… my brother just muttered, “Cahill just did an Owen.” It took me a while to understand what he was referring too. Yeah…
Oh man. Now you know why I’m an Aussie fan? THIS IS WHY!!!!!!
Australia just has this uncanny similarity with Liverpool. Yeah, I guess Liverpool has more quality on our side, but the Aussie never-say-die spirit is like the “Liverpool spirit”. Awww… I’m soo soo happy!!!!!
Hehehe. More than 80 minutes into the match, I was left feeling rather despondent and I had already resigned to the fate of defeat. The Aussies look tired, and no matter how they tried, they were getting no closer to scoring. To be honest, while I really thought Japan was totally shite, the Aussies were really not much better…
And then… Cahill popped up with the goal…
The equalizer wasn’t the prettiest. Sort of a goalmouth scramble. I remember seeing Harry and the Jap guy going for the ball and both tumbling over… then the Jap guy was like almost covering the ball with his body, and Cahill just went to kick at it. Hehehe. That sent all of us screaming though.
Cahill’s 2nd goal though… was soooo… OMG!!
Hehehe. I know he’s an Evertonian… but I always had a soft spot for him too…

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
What a beauty…
What a beauty…
I knocked over the chair when that goal went in. Haha
Aww… I just wished he wasn’t an Evertonian so I can fall in love with him openly! It’s hard when we come from rival teams… :(
Yeah, I don’t know how many people actually know it, but I had a soft spot for Timmy. Not as soft as the one for Harry, but I think ever since the day I saw Harry ruffle Timmy’s hair (when the Liverpool team went round to shake the Everton players’ hands at the start of a derby match at Goodison Park), I sort of started liking Timmy. I can’t remember who started calling Cahill Timmy first… must be either the commentator for that game or the one against Uruguay… And I just found the name Timmy kinda cute. (Sounds like the kind of name you’d give your pet dog, that’s a compliment!) HH says Timmy looks like a Bangla worker (no racism intended), and I do admit he looks a little weird around the mouth area, but he still has a certain cuteness to him!
And I tell you something… I don’t like Viduka!!
YEAH!!
He can’t score!! Well, this time he very nearly did on a couple of occasions. But he still didn’t! There’s just something between me and Viduka… Don’t know why he always seem to look shit to me. And I don’t understand why is he penalty-taker and captain either. Boo. He can’t score penalties at least.
My brother though, had something against Josh Kennedy. I just know he recently scored his first goal for Aussies, so I was nicer to him. But my brother reckoned he was useless and kept missing chances.
Going on to other Aussie players… Harry looked… tired. Yeah, I really thought he’d get subbed off sooner or later, but he wasn’t. He wasn’t bad, quite good in fact, but he was marked really tightly by at least 2 Japanese players each time he got the ball, so it was hard for him to do any sort of dribbling stuff. Most of the time he just got rid of the ball as quickly as he could. There was once when he came close to scoring after dribbling his way through though… And I can’t tell you how irritated I was everytime a Japanese player brought Harry down and no foul was given. Grr… the Japs…
Strange. I never knew my brother was an Aussie fan you know. I mean, he doesn’t even like Harry. He said he thought Harry was a sissy, so why was he cursing the Japs along with me, and cheering crazily when the Aussies scored? My brother sounded every inch as infuriated as me with the Japs… he kept repeating how the Japs were dirty players, and said he never saw a more cheating goal than theirs… Aw.. he even sacrificed a “lucky sweet” for Australia… but like it was against West Ham, when he only ate it at half time, by 80+ mins, I was coming to terms with how it might not work this time…
My father and mother know nuts about football. My father just bets blindly, and talks rubbish most of the time. But some of those stuff these clueless people say can be quite funny at times. Like how my father said this was a match between the sumos and the kangaroos. For my mother, she was more interested in speculating the stuff they eat. Remember how she said the Japanese had more strength ‘cause they eat more fish? Well she also said the Aussies no strength ‘cause they were all drunk. -.-
So you Aussies and those who drink, don’t drink too much! Or else my mummy will say you all have no strength…
My mother left at around 60 minutes because she was sleepy though. Oh well. She missed the great stuff. The remaining 3 of us went crazy when the Aussies scored.
Guus Hiddink is like Rafa huh? All 3 goals were scored by his subs… Cahill and Aloisi. And I love his reaction to the Aussie goals… That’s one area where he’s not like Rafa! Aw… Hiddink just looked like an Australian then. But I do wonder if he feels any form of attachment to the national teams he coaches, seeing how often he changes teams… He was with South Korea… now with Australia… next Russia… does he feel any form of “patriotism” to these countries?
Seeing him then did make me feel like he did though, at least for Australia.
Hee.
He was also so mad when the Jap goal was allowed… he was so scary! Rushing over to the fourth official’s monitor I think… trying to see the replay.
:)
So happy.
I’ll be going to Australia tomorrow night… and now I can go there happily!
I’m really wondering what it’s like in Australia… are they as crazy as the English, South Koreans, or Japanese? With those flag hanging and all that… or is it like how it’s like when there’s a badminton or table-tennis or whatever sport competition involving Singaporeans… no one just gives a damn, and everyone is oblivious to it? I sure hope it’s like what I saw in the stadium tonight! ‘Cause for one thing…
I want to buy the inflatable kangaroo!!!!!
It’s a long shot, but I hope they sell it there.
The Aussie girl at the end of the match jumping and dancing in front of the camera with her kangaroo looked so cute... I just kept whining about how I wanted that kangaroo too. My brother and father told me to go and buy it in Australia… and I asked a very stupid question as to how we were suppose to bring it back (check it in with the luggage or hand-carrier) ‘cause it was so big. Figured it out why it’s a stupid question?
If you don’t get it… here’s the answer…
It’s inflatable.
!!!!!
Sigh.
I’m kinda tired now. Hehe. It was really like watching a Liverpool cup final tonight! Can’t remember the last time I felt this amount of passion supporting a team other than Liverpool!
Go socceroooooooos!!!!
I’ll catch you guys again on Aussie TV (I never asked my brother… but I assumed the motel we’ll be staying in that night has a tv with the WC on…)!
Thanks for the great night!

Love ya socceroos!
Love ya Harry!
Love ya Timmy!
Heh.
I want my inflatable kangaroo…
p/s I didn’t ‘stalk’ harry with the player cam channel like I wanted to.. the match was too absorbing for me to even try! ‘cause you see, if you switch to the player cam channel… you’ll only be able to see the player and none of the action that isn’t near him.. maybe if there’s a repeat telecast tomorrow, I’ll go stalk harry in the player cam channel. I promise not to drool or do funny things to the tv. (what were u thinking! I just want to observe and see if he has any pimples.)
Love ya Timmy!
