I'm not really into footbal in a big way (any of its codes), but I did enjoy watching the end of a game last night. Got out of bed for a drink, and watched the last 8 minutes of the Australia-Japan game go from 0-1 to 3-1. Well, that was fun.
I do get extremely tired of all the jingoism though (not just in sport, either). At least the football broadcaster here is the station with a lot of international employees: they're a lot lighter with the xenophobia.
