But can he save The World Cup? Unlikely...
-
Saturday night will feature the most anticipated World Cup match yet — Australia vs Ghana.
Can the Koala Kissers from Down Under beat the Black Stars? Given that Ghana’s best player is out, I suppose a slight possibility now exists that those prawn-barbecuing, Tim Tam-munching, vegemite-spreading oi oi oi-ers could win this one.
That makes it a good time for Aussie fans to head to Nanluoguxiang and patronize the Beijing Billabong / Vegemite Triangle. Both Ned’s and 12SQM will show the match, while at Mao Mao Chong they can eat Cherry Ripe to their Les Patterson-loving, platypus-poking, Bundaberg-guzzling hearts’ content. (I could add something about dingos, but I think my point has been made.)*
In case it isn’t obvious, I will be cheering for Ghana. And I will be wearing a GongTees shirt with the crest of that nation, a shirt I bought on Wednesday night at Paddy O’Shea’s with a 100-kuai note that looked like I blew my nose into but in reality only suffered from pocket sweat. Memorable moment. Anyway, click here for info about how to get your own shirt…

* For the record, I like prawns, Les Patterson, and Tim Tam, have never seen let alone touched a platypus, think Bundaberg Rum would be useful for unclogging toilets, and believe the best use of Vegemite is to plug that oil-gushing hole in the Gulf of Mexico.
Boyce,
you should go fishing more often – you are clearly out of practice…. you think you can get a bite with that bait?
We Aussies have already moved on to a much more important game coming up. Australia is all set to send the Poms packing in Rugby Saturday night.
After the game against Germany, we know when to switch codes….
8 Songs,
I will have you know that post is approved of by a real living breathing twitching Aussie. Sitting at a table nearby. He giggled, he guffawed, he called it among the best reads of his life.
A Brit also approved it. I’m not sure what that means.
Cheers, Boyce
