Waiting for my new toy

I ordered a new toy, not last weekend but the weekend before, and I'm still waiting for it to arrive. More details when it finally gets here.

*C'mon, hurry up!!*

It's not soccer mate.... it's Football

Last night (Wednesday), I went to the Football (or soccer) at ANZ Stadium, Homebush, to see the Socceroo's play Bahrain in a World Cup qualifier match. The Aussie's had already qualified, but it was still great to go and see them play. I don't really follow the soccer... oops, Football, but I have enjoyed going to see the Socceroo's play a couple of times. I went with my girlfriend and some of her friends from work. We had good seats, in row 13, so fairly close to the action, and down beside the goal. Fortunately, the end of the field we were sitting at, was the end that the Aussie's were attacking in the 2nd half, which is also when they scored both their goals.

The first half was ended scoreless. The Socceroo's had more possession and a number of shots at goal, but hadn't been able to score. In the second half, they seemed to play a lot better and scored 2 unanswered goals to bring the final score in at 2-0. It was great to witness the win and it was a good game, but it was a damn cold night! It was freezing there.

Below is a picture that I took during the game. It is not very good quality, it was taken on my Nokia 6300.

Great Success

I went to a mates place last night to watch the State of Origin. Each year when I go there, I barrack for the team that I have picked in our work Footy Tipping competition, and follow the score closely (because we also pick the margin). Anyway, I picked QLD to win by 12 points (or so I thought), so I was disappointed when they won by only 10. When I got to work this morning though, I checked the results of the tipping, and I had actually picked QLD to win by ten! YAY!. Final score was 28-18.
