    It was a night full of many emotions, exhilaration as John Aloisi’s penalty shot beat Fabian Carini to give Australia a 4-2 win on penalties, was also mixed with a huge sigh of relief.



    The curse that has plagued Australian football for the last 32 years was finally broken and Australia will head back to Germany, where they played in the one and only World Cup finals to date in 1974.

    Would that be Australian Rules football? One of my favorite sports events to watch, after Sooner football.

    Go Socceroos..

    Soccer doesnt get a large slice of coverage here so maybe the world cup will change all that...

    Well any English person I've ever met seems to remember 1966 well enough; in fact they never miss a chance to mention it.
