Today, we have two big news in Australia or at least that are the news people are talking about now. First, the Socceroos are out of World Cup despite 2-1 victory over Serbia. Second, Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd is ousted from the office and Australia will get first ever female Prime Minister.
I believe the second news has more followers than the first one. It is expected because football (or soccer here) is not a number one and a famous sport in Australia. People are more into Australian rule football, rugby, cricket and tennis. That is the reason why we rarely find any live telecast of local football match in Aussie TV (is there any?).
But, at least Aussies can be proud of their team achievement to reach the World Cup and has a good world ranking although it is not a famous sport here and doesn't have many enthusiasts. Malaysians should learn something here and don't always too obsessed with the underperformed teams in Malaysian League.
The following is Socceroos 2010 World Cup Achievement:
a. Against Germany, Lost 0-4
b. Against Ghana, Draw 1-1
c. Against Serbia, Won 2-1
