JAPAN 3 DENMARK 1 LETS FIGHTING LOVE PARTY TIME

I got back from the work conference in Melbourne last night.  It was a great couple of days.  We managed to get a lot done during the day and we had an interesting poker night arranged by my boss at the British Crown Hotel in Collingwood.  We had booked for a night of Texas Hold ‘Em which was held in ...

Goddamit, my iPhone ran out of battery so my alarm didn’t go off and I slept through the game.  That thing was on like 20% charged and it wasn’t enough to see me through 🙁 So I checked up on the results this morning and: “Steve Gerrard “The whole team is behind Rob Green”.

For me it seems to be the World Cup sticker album from crafty Italian sticker moguls Panini. With my Masters degree entering the business end, and my finances allowing me a bite to eat every now and then there ...

I woke up this morning to check out the groups drawn for the World Cup in South Africa next year.  I got three teams I’m rooting for: Japan, New Zealand and Australia.  Here’s a quick breakdown of how we went. I was a bit disappointed about this grouping really.  I was hoping we would get Italy so we could crush ...
