Friday

It's amazing how one one absolutely terrible decision can change a Friday night for a whole nation.

Instead of being able to stroll down the pub and cheer on Australia against Ukraine we now have to do the exact opposite, and actually barrack for the Ukraine.

The only consolation is they do wear yellow, and if you squint your eyes or have had a couple to many, you may just be able to imagine that's Viduka scoring that goal tonight, and celebrating with Luke "the cutter" Wilkshire and teammates taking Australia to its rightful place, the Semi-finals of Germany 2006.


O yes it would be wonderful if it were true, but alas, it's not.

At least we can take pleasure at hurling abuse at the Italians, as they are hopefully crushed by the World Cup debutants.

Come on Ukraine do it for the teams that wear yellow (except Brazil they need no help), and spank those Italians senseless, do whatever is necessary, just please beat them!
