didn't tony play well

Little time to write about the soccer, and in many ways it was too emotional an event to be able to analyse dispassionately. I was invited to watch the second leg at a nearby pub, and the atmosphere, comme on dit, was electric. On reflection, bringing Kewell on after half an hour was a master stroke. He was into everything, and quickened the pulse of the whole team with his advent. But particular thanks and congrats must go to Tony Vidmar, who managed to stand out in an outstanding Oz performance. Just hope he can hang in there for Germany – but my god it’s only a little over six months away.

A thoroughly deserved victory.
