AUSTRALIA MAKES IT TO WORLD CUP

So that means durung the seventh inning stretch at ballparks all across America, when fans are singing "we'll root, root, root for the home team..."!!!!!!! :shock:

'fraid so... :oops:

There's a famous textbook definition of the diet of one of our native animals (I think it was the wombat) that goes "Eats roots shoots and leaves".

This has been widely quoted as also equating to the wooing habits of the average Australian male! :shock: Just add a couple of commas - "Eats, roots, shoots and leaves....." :P We're apparently not famous for our finesse....

Not me of course. I'm a gentleman....

Puts that old song, "Rootin' tootin' Cowboy Joe" in a whole new light doesn't it....

:D :D :D

Vic

The American context of the word root always gets a giggle from me ..

I love that Root Beer <-------- but how is my question

spectators rooting for their team <-------- lucky buggers

Oh, ofcourse Australia qualified. What did you all expect, they had a Dutch coach... :D

very true arjen :wink:

I have nothing to add but the truth is the truth ... mind you haveing a little bit of talent to work with like that man did might have had something to do with it

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sounds like we should all "Root" for the dutch coach :lol:

He'll be in hiding - or should that be Hiddink - after the group stages....

:D :D :D

PS nice to see Bolo Zenden on the scoresheet for Liverpool yesterday.....

PS nice to see Bolo Zenden on the scoresheet for Liverpool yesterday.....

He scored against the Hammers as well, it's only the fact that I am also a big Barcelona fan (Zenden is an ex Barca player) that I let him get away with it, otherwise I might have had to send the boys 'round

LOL....I guess as a Hammers fan, you'll be hoping chelsea get "hammered" this week?

That smug, arrogant "special one" has replaced Fergie at the top of most people's hate list....OK the lads went down 1-4 last time out, I just consoled myself by playing the video of the Champions League semi-final last year....

:D :D :D

Vic

I think hoping is all it will be, but you never know strange things do happen. I can console my self that both Chelsea and Spurs are only doing so well because of all the ex Hammers they picked up at bargain bucket prices.

Still at least we managed to snatch a draw at Spurs today, Barca beat Real Madrid 3 - 0 in Madrid yesterday and London Wasps beat Bath in the rugby so not a bad weekend really.

Good luck to Liverpool in the Champions league and hoping Anderlecht can do the business

Ill chuck another team into your little English game ( l o l )

GO THE GUNNERS

Now there's a man who should make a visit to Specsavers - every time a penalty award went against Arsenal, or an Arsenal player got sent off, his usual comment was "I did not see the incident from my position on the bench".....

What? You've got the best seat in the house...not as if someone's stood in front of you.....

:D :D :D

Vic

Hmm, Australia whupping the West Indies...England's bowlers getting carted all over the place...makes you long for the good old days....

July-September 2005......

:D :D :D

Vic

Well Vic

Sad to say those days ( July-September ) have long gone just be thankful you witnessed it because in years to come when your in that old persons home and all the great great grand kiddies are surrounding you , you can tell the story of when England won ashes back from those Aussies while your eating Vegemite on toast ......

Ohh Irememeber when back years and years years ago the English cricket team actually beat the Aussies and won the ashes ...... of course you do realise that no-one believe you as they will probably think your suffering from demiture ..................

L O L ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha .......................

We lost and I still can give the poms heaps ......ha ha ha ha ....... Geee it's good to be an Aussie

I also have fond memories of 87...Gatting's team down under...

and 85....

and especially Botham's Ashes in 81....

:D :D :D
