“The old barriers are gone dude, it’s like back in the days you’d play Aussies vs Wogs handball at school and Asians would have their own group and the only time you’d mix with the Lebbos is in the footie team. Look at this crowd, all that shit has been shot to pieces. We’re one people now, no matter what your background. One country, one destiny.”
-Random pissed bloke talking to Darp at Circular Quay

Sadly, this Aussie is too gutted to write much more than that.

We played the Azzuri off the park, we smashed em only to lose by the cruelest of means. We’ve won global respect, no doubt but we did not deserve to get shafted the way we did.

Lucas Neil - stand up and take a bow. You were our best player for the whole tournament.
