Well as you all are aware, (apart from perhaps my insular American cousins, even though the USA is competing) Australia is the greatest sporting nation in the free world.
Now although many of us here are still somewhat homo-phobic, we were pleased that the members of our tiny gay community have found enough like minded souls to play a sport that they can play with their pants on, and have actually qualified to play against all their effeminate little friends around the world in the heart of "Poop Chute Lovers Central", Europe.
Surprisingly, our "Footer-fags" have done very well so far, first qualifying against Uruguay, then beating the pants off our little yellow friends from Japan. We weren't at all concerned about Brazil's homo's beating our girlie-boys, because they're recognised as the "champions" amongst the limp-wristed "round-ball" set.
We're all cheering for them, ("Rooting" means something entirely different in Aussie slang) when they play Croatia, and are expecting at least a draw, and maybe even a win? We'll see of course, but the main thing for us of course, is that in this age of politcal correctness, even our minorities can participate in sporting activities against their own kind, without being summarily beaten, or even lynched by crowds of rednecks for their otherwise questionable sexual preferences.
Just remember that if you attend any of these matches, it's advisable to remain seated at all times, preferably until all the other "fans" have gone home......... Ha ha, Cheers, Terry.
