I was there, it was good So - yesterday we flew to Sydney, met Seth, went to the Stadium, and then we watched the game.

It was fantastic. 82,000 people all jammed into the Olympic Stadium, screaming ourselves hoarse for 120 minutes of game time, and a lifetime of penalties. In the end we won. Australia 1, Uruguay 0 (Australia qualified on penalties 4-2).

I was going to link to all manner of articles, but stuff it. All I will say is - the game was so enthralling and exciting I saw grown men running to and from the toilets so they missed as little as possible, and at half-time I saw fellow Australians leave the queues for the bar without actually buying any beer because they were afraid they would miss the start of the second half.
