I joined a few other aussies at The Green Man in Putney for the Australia v Germany game tonight. Surprisingly, being Putney, there weren’t very many other aussies in the pub – we were surrounded by english, all of whom were hoping Germany would kick our butt! This was not because they didnt like the Aussies but I guess they don’t want to face Germany in the next round (that’s presuming that England do well!)

It was a nice evening and venue to watch the game with a giant TV screen outdoors in a lovely garden setting. I love the way The Green Man has giant jenga, giant connect four and giant chess set!

Unfortunately the match didn’t go Australia’s way with a 4-0 drubbing but I still maintain it was the awful refereeing. If only they hadn’t allowed that first off-side goal …
