england: outplayed on the field

australia: out witted off the field

and thus the on-the-pitch / off-the-pitch dichotomy has never been more evident.

as i type this on the hill of the adelaide oval to the sounds of dickhead aussie supporters yelling "dot com hahahh", "W-W-W - ooh" good one. i'm then noticed by the surrounding barmy army who tell them to leave me alone ... "he's doing his homework"

and it's not like i'm contributing to the solution, surrounded by the problem, typing away at my friend's PDA... the wittiest thing we' the aussie supporters have come up with so far is hurling a beach ball across the crowd and then booing when a security guard inevitably confiscated it.

i'm beginning to wonder if that's the reason jetstar can do this in australia. have we lost our collective imagination? are we no longer (where we ever?) capable of voicing... oh fuck it... the barmy army just started chanting "4-1, 4-1, we're gonna win 4-1" and what was our response? "1-0, 1-0, 1-0"

best we can hope now is warney takes a bag...
