Stand Up Socceroos...
Can I get a hell yeah? Hell yeah!!!
Josh Kennedy may resemble Jesus however the Australian football team performed one of the best impersonations of Lazarus the world stage has seen.
Australia’s fighting spirit was on show for the entire world to see as we staged a remarkable fight back to record a 3-1 victory over Japan after trailing 1-0 with only 15 minutes remaining. Was that a samba drum that just went quiet?
If we need to ignite football at grass roots level for Australia to blossom then this game was definitely the super seed.
Guus Hiddink’s influence cannot be doubted. This is a man who holds no fear. He is not afraid to throw caution to the wind or is he afraid to tackle a FIFA official out of the way so that he can view a replay of that dubious Japanese goal. Come on who did that FIFA worm think he was trying to out body Guus “I love FOUR ‘N TWENTY” Hiddink?
Hiddink surprised many by leaving Tim Cahill on the bench and starting Luke Wilkshire. Hindsight is a beautiful thing though and Hiddink now looks the genius as Cahill hit two goals in the final fifteen minutes when the heat had sapped the energy out of both teams.
Australia had dominated the match but were trailing by a goal after a dreadful refereeing blunder - with Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer clearly impeded by two Japanese players when trying to claim Shunsuke Nakamura's cross from the right wing.
It didn’t matter though. Hiddink sent on Cahill, Kennedy and John Aloisi and each substitute had a lasting effect on the opening Group F World Cup match. With Kennedy being the cat amongst the pigeons Cahill was able to find enough space to score two of the most satisfying goals this country has celebrated to. Aloisi, the penalty hero against Uruguay, displayed his love for the centre stage by knocking in the third to send Socceroo fans into ecstasy.
A bit of trivia for you. No other team has scored three goals in the last seven minutes in World Cup history. Pretty damn impressive.
Words will never do justice to the feelings felt by all Socceroo supporters as Cahill shot Australia into the lead. However Greg Horgan, the Soccer Squirrel World Cup correspondent, did have this to say after the match, “Un-fucking-believable”.
Australia now faces Brazil on Sunday and Cahill cannot wait. You can only love this man.
"It'll be 11 superstars against 11 ordinary Aussies," Cahill said.
Timmy you forgot to put in the extra. Come on Aussies!!!

Hi matey and blog buddies, enjoyed the blog most interesting. Not sure how well you are doing in driving more traffic to your blog but If you are interested in promoting your site and getting more visitors (aren't we all??) I would definitely recommend the free Link Referral Program.
I have a website featuring camping world.com amongst other stuff and after trying every seo software/program on the net I got tipped off by an IT techi mate that the Link Referral Program was the best - more importantly it's free!!
The signup process was quick and before long my hits increased dramatically. Consequently my affiliate sales commissions and business sales went through the roof PLUS my website increased in google ranking which was an added bonus!!
If you didn't need this advice then I am sorry but you did have anonymous posting enabled on your blog. If anyone else has any good ideas for driving more traffic to blogs/websites then please share with your online business blog buddies. Ta ;-)

Hi matey
I'm sure it was this blog I was reading a while back where someone was looking for an SEO tool for driving more traffic and get more hits for their website.
Anyway, I was speaking to a techi guy at work who gets to know all the latest stuff and he uses the free Link Referral Program.
His website on bmw jersey city new jersey amongst other stuff has seen traffic explode since he started using the Link Referral Program - consequently his affiliate sales commissions and business sales went through the roof PLUS his website increased in google ranking which was an added bonus!!
If anyone else has any good ideas for driving more traffic to blogs/websites then please share with your online business blog buddies. Ta ;-)
