Australia Vs Denmark - Loftus Road

We met up after work at the Shebu Walkabout for a few predrinks, after that we walked down to the Loftus Road Stadium. The atmosphere was electric with thousands of Aussie's walking together down the street. There were a few Danish fans in Viking gear and flags who had to listen to the chant "We've all f*cked your Princess" which they seemed to take in their stride.

Our seats were pretty good, just behind the goal in the second tier. Australia got off to a shocking start, their defense was useless and let in two easy goals due to players being out of position. We scored half way through the first half but the referee disallowed it due to pushing in the goal box, it was a goal dammit! The Danes scored again soon after making it 3 - 0 at half time.

Emerton curled a brilliant free kick over the wall and into the back of the net with 5 minutes to go to make the scoresheet more respectable.

The next sporting fixture I will be heading to is the world club challenge in Bolton between my home team the Brisbane Broncos and St. Helens RFC. Hopefully I will see a win this time!

Australia V Ghana: Loftus Road London

The crew and me headed for some pre-drinks at the Sheperds Bush Walkabout then made our way to the game. It was a real effort getting into the stadium but it was great to see so many Aussies in one place.

The atmosphere was electric and it felt like a one day international with all the Aussie songs and chanting. There was also the constant drum beats from the Ghana fans.

John Aloisi's penalty gave the Socceroos the lead and they would have been further ahead at the break had it not been for the heroics of Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingston.

Ghana seemed to have the better of the second half and scored after a costly mistake by keeper Mark Schwarzer. The game ended in a 1 all draw, the second draw for me in a row, first the Wallabies now the Socceroos!
