Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

yesterday was amazing!!
yesterday one of my dreams came true...i went to foreign soccer game. but it wasn't just any foreign soccer game, it was an AUSSIE soccer game. the australian soccerroos! these guys do NOT mess around.
MY DAY:
neille and i left around 2 and arrived at sydney around 4. we wandered around a little bit and then got on a train to go to the stadium. and like i thought this was THE olympic stadium-the place i saw on tv and said i want to go there and i was there! it was so exciting! (by the way, pictures will be up soon-our connections to the wi fi are not the best for uploading pics) so we got there and we bought a jersey and a scarf-colors are green and gold for the record. jersey because we wanted one and we realized that the sweatshirts we had were the other teams colors. the scarfs because in australia, when they sing the national anthem, they hold the scarfs up and sing. it's actually a pretty awesome thing to see. so we got our stuff and we sat in our seats which were pretty far up, but we could still see everything pretty well on the field. oh and it was POURING rain on our way over and it stopped for a little while and then through out the game, it sprinkled, but we were covered by the roof :)
anyway, the game started and australia was getting so many close calls on scoring a goal! it was crazy! every time they would go for a goal the stadium stood up and when they missed they all yelled AWWWW and it was awesome! plus the other team, a team from Asia, were a bunch of babies! EVERY time they fell on the ground, they would hold their leg or arm and roll around on the ground and yell and act like they are in pain and then 2 minutes later get up and run around the field-and every time they did that the aussie would BOOOOOO-it was AWESOME.
long story short aussies won 2 to 0. and each time they scored te stadium would obviously go completely nuts! it was so cool to see so much spirit for a country's soccer team.
oh-also this game was a have to win. if they had won this game and a few others, they will qualify to be in the qualification round for the world cup in south africa in 2010. the final home game is june 10 and neille and i are planning on going to that one-we aren't sure-but that would be the FINAL game and THE game that would make them go into the qualifications.
basically this day was awesome and i'm so glad i had the opportunity to go to this game! again, pictures will come soon!
oh and yes-they did the aussie! aussie! aussie! oi! oi! oi! chant and it was AWESOME!
