Australia played a match against the Netherlands last night – a warm up game for each team before the tournament starts next week. I stayed up to watch it (starting at 10.30pm). It was a tightly marked game, and Australia did not seem as comfortable as they have appeared in their last couple of internationals – and rightly so as the Dutch team are ranked third in the world. Australia went one down in the first half, and tiredness caught up with me and I did not stay up for the second half. I woke expecting to hear of a 3-0 loss, but was pleasantly surprised to hear it ended up 1-1, with Australia playing one short for most of the second half. It is a good result leading up the the World Cup games – they have shown they deserve their place in the finals. Hopefully I can adjust my internal clock and be able to stay up and watch the games when they are on. Win or lose, I think most Australian just want to be a part of it and show the world we are good enough to be there.
