The crazed ravings of Splinter (Tony Castley)
Ok so the Australian team have been knocked out of the world cup by Italy. What can I say, many of us think we were robbed.
We do have to remember however this is our first world cup 2nd round and we did really well.
Congratulations to the team you did us proud.
For the first time in history Australia is through to the 2nd round of the would cup. In an extremely tight and hard fought game Australia managed to get the draw with Croatia to secure the spot in the 2nd round.
With the large number of Croatian decent people on both teams, and three Australians on the Croatian team a lot of pride was at stake and it showed. It appeared that by the end of the game at least 3 players had been shown 3 yellow cards and really should not have been on the field.
