A record 2million viewers across Australia tuned into SBS's televised coverage of yesterday's emphatic Australian victory, cementing it as one of the highest rating telecasts ever. It was exactly what football in Australia needed, and it was what all Australians needed. Everyone forgot about the IR reforms, Telstra's woes, terrorism and the fact that our Johnny is out of the country to combine, breaking cultural, economic and social borders as one nation celebrating the successes of our football team. Remind me that I have to present some Uruguayian players with Oscars when they come back next. But a big thumbs down for the booing during their national anthem- we don't have to stoop as low as they did, and also to the incidents of throwing beer at their supporters. Nevertheless, I think the defeaning roar even on TV was unprecedented, though I may have turned it up too loud. But wow. Go Australia! Do us proud in Germany next year. It doesn't matter if we get knocked out early, coz we're THERE.
