Australia FIFA World Cup Blog

Australia has finally qualified for the World Cup after 32 long and agonising years! We are off to Germany, and I cannot believe it. I am a fan of all Australian sport and write for the Victorian Amateur Football Association, and the President of one of Australia's largest cricket clubs, and had my best man at my wedding play for the Socceroos. And now I am off to Germany for the trip of a lifetime. This is my story.

Berlin and Frankfurt


Well here we are in Berlin. Our last day in Frankfurt was spent at the Fanfest on the river. You can see some of the photos there. We watched the Korea versus Togo match which was good as the Koreans were really getting into it.

We then headed home, and Bernie, Gavan and another Aussie we met on the tram decided to stop into this quiet milkbar-like bar for a quiet ale. 1 Euro for their premium beer made us think that this could be a place to settle in. But when the locals started buying us beer, schnapps and everything else you could think of, it just went nuts. Gav played darts with the locals and won, while Bernie and Gav exchanged shirts and caps to top off a huge day.

The next day was spent in transit to Berlin. It was really a debacle, and the less said on this day the better. We did finish off the day in the hotel watching the games that night with Germany winning 1-0.

We then spent yesterday on a city tour. Walked about 20kms, so we were buggered!! Finished off the day at the fanfest which was good then off to an Irish Bar to watch England make it through as well as Sweden.

We are now here for our last day in Berlin before heading off to Munich for the match of the century. Might check out the zoo today, and then there is a pub crawl afterwards which should be good.

Okay, we will catch you all later!
