On a dark November night in Tokyo, an Irishman slinks sneakily out of work and relocates to the pub. His goal? To support Australia in their attempt to overturn a one-goal deficit against the Uruguayans and qualify for the 2006 World Cup.
And whether they win or lose, there's always Japan to support, although I wish Mr. Zico wasn't at the helm.
Speaking of the decay of Irish football, I don't know what the opinion is in the four green fields on the possible hiring of El Tel to replace Brian Kerr, but from over here he seems like a good, realistic option. Dodgy cockney wide boy though he most definitely is, he's also arguably the best English national team manager of the modern era (him or Mad Sir Bobby).

Don't like Venebles at all and for me his wide-boy persona will always overshadow anything he has done or will do - which is little.
Finally we did it!!
I thought we deserved it. Although our defence was dodgy at times and set pieces were shit, there was great spirit and committment. Kewell played a blinder, that must really piss Liverpool fans off. But maybe he will hit form for them now, who knows?
