Hup Australie hup!
1-1 eh? Who'd have thought it? I'm quite impressed with the socerroos effort. OK, almost the entire first half of the match they stank but I wouldn't blame them for folding in front of a crowd of almost exclusively Oranje supporters at de Kuip. Better teams have done the same. Makes you wonder just how far they'll go in Germany after all?
While the Dutch internationals are complaining vigorously in the press about the roughness of the Soceroos' play the Dutch coach didn't think that the Australians had gone too far, suggesting instead that some of his players needed to be better prepared for a physical game.
As the Dutch would say "Hup Australie hup hup hup!" [Or not!] Meanwhile the Orange Insanity continues.
