It was an amazing two games with the finale stretching as far as it could. Tonight Australia beat Uruguay 1-0, and since Uruguay won 1-0 in Montevideo, after 90 minutes of normal time and another 30 minutes of extra time, Australia qualified for our first World Cup since 1974 by winning the resulting penalty shoot-out 4-2.
Mark Schwarzer was the hero, saving two of the penalties, after Marco Bresciano had levelled the aggregate score with a first half strike.
I can't wait to next year to cheer them on with the usual countries I support: France and Sweden.
france sucks ass!!! the only reason they won the world cup a few years ago was because it was rigged!!!!
GO AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!
Go Australia! Show the rest of the world that were aren't really that crap at soccer like everyone else thinks we are. =/ That was a tense game!
At least we made it in! GO AUSTRALIA!
