Unfresh from missing Englands red-eye encounter with Ecquador, I decided to get up at 00.20 and wander down to the Coogee Beach Hotel to see the Aussies take on Italy. I wanted to experience the Yellow and Green armies support at least once and this would, if the bookmakers had their way, be the final chance to.
They nearly provided an upset too, until deep into stoppage time, they gave away a penalty and lost it with the final kick of the game. I left a very packed but very silent pub and returned home for the better part of 4hours sleep.
