Hey, I’ll be liveblogging the Australia vs. Japan World Cup game on Deadspin this morning. Swing by if you can. I’ll get you a link there as soon as it exists.
And hey, if I don’t get to post again before then, enjoy the United States vs. Czech Republic game today at 11:55. It’s funny, I’m usually very quick to criticize our government and culture, and I do so freely and often… but hey, put the United States in any sort of international sporting event, and I turn into a flag-waving bastard. I can’t explain it, but it happens.
I really wish the United Nations would pass some kind of a resolution during every World Cup and/or Olympics that said it was OK to use any sort of cultural or national stereotypes that you like, during any game, completely guilt-free. For instance, from noon until about two o’clock today… fuck Ivana Trump and the rest of these dumpling-eating pricks. And then at the final whistle, I’ll go back to respecting everyone.

Well Australia won there game with Japan, winning 3-1. Tim Cahill scoring 2 goals in the 84 and 89 minute and John Aloisi scoring in the 92 minute.
Shame about the USA not scoring one goal at least but the Czechs were a better team.
Great site by the way.

As the resident Australian, let me say “YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!”
Totally worth sneaking out of work to watch, not to mention using my office phone to call everyone back home.
