Australia is in the world cup.

[bloodbob]

Came down to a penalty shoot-out but we made it after 31 years.

Tim Cahill might finally get a rest now and produce for his club. By the end of the World Cup he'll have played football for about 4 years without a break.

 

[Druga Runda]

WOW!

Finally

 

[thehulk]

Good. They deserve to be in Germany.

 

[TekkenMaster]

It was good to read that Kewell was on form.

Yup. Couldn't give a stuff about Cahill (the worse he plays the better) as long as Harry gets his act together.

Glad Australia qualified. Uruguay are a pretty cynical team - better to have the Aussies there I think.

 

[Gollum]

Congrats, I was hoping the Aussie's would turn it around! looking forward to having them here next year!

Darn.. I was hoping it was going to be Roy and H.G.

 

[K.I.L.E.R]

HAHAHAhA! Aussies kicked the butt of everyone else in the world.
Australia is better than America and every other country in the world.
Everyone sucks with the exception of Australia.

I give the world a big F-U.

Hmmm
Rugby World Cup. England
Ashes. England
World Cup (football). Brazil
Olympic No. 1 - USA

Funny I don't see Australia there, perhaps it is you that sucks?

Remind me. What was the score in the last football match between England and Australia?
How many times have England won the Rugby World cup? (Hmm... must look up Rugby League results)

How many times have England won the ashes in the past, oooh, 30 years?

As for the Olympics, surely the Bahamas are number 1?. Australia are #4, UK #36 and the USA are 46.

Stop living in the past

Not seent the Olympic rankings done like that before. Makes sense.
Also a good demonstration of how you can make statistics say what you like. Would be interesting to see them ranked by size of country, GDP etc.
