Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-? ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

World Cup - Aus v Italy

Viduka takes a moment before kick-off to appreciate the crowd, which is already at fever-pitch in their cheering and on their feet. Actually, I don't think anyone sat down for any second of the game.

On the way from the town up the hill towards the stadium. An exciting and festive pilgrimage. Actually, I don't remember walking there; more swept along by the atmosphere and good wishes by the locals.

The Socceroos come out onto the pitch, to the raucous cheers of the Aussie fans and, possibly, 95% of the stadium - and millions more at home in Aus!
