Uruguay 1 - Australia 0

Jimmy Weasel - Sunday, November 13, 2005 - 09:10:18 - print it raw

Frustrating. This was the nature of today's game. Once again facing Uruguay in a World Cup Qualifier, the Socceroos were lucky to escape only one goal down. Not as good as a draw or even a win, but it could have been far worse. Despite appearing to dominate in the first half, Australia's control slipped later on, with possession frequently stripped due to passing flaws and what seemed like a complacent attitude towards the game. The Uruguayans did play as the feisty bunch of hot-heads as predicted in the buildup - spending a lot of time on the ground rolling around in the pseudo-agony encouraged by their crowd. With any luck science can one day find a cure for the myotonia they seem to suffer when confronted by the Australian defence.

Wednesday 7pm Sydney time, we shall see who progresses.

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park: Monstrously, and seemingly neverending, sitting under the home ground of Colonel Sanders, the world's largest cave system. Yucatan comes nowhere close. Not even Cocklebiddy poses a threat. No comparison. Small holes looking up at a big fat long one. Sadly, with possible age and lack of food, no minotaurs to be found within the lime walls.
Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery: If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.
Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops: It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...
