Zeuk in Oz

For those of you not in Oz, I went to the second World Cup Qualifier between Australia and Uruguay last night.
First leg was Uruguay 1 : Australia 0 in Montevideo last Saturday.
Second leg : Australia won 4:2 last night on penalties after leading 1:0 after extra time (1:1 on aggregate).
82,600 people roaring their lungs out and seeing us qualify for the World Cup Finals (in Germany next year) for the first time since 1974 ( held in West Germany).
What an experience.
Worth the 300 km return trip. :D
( Yes, sad to say, I'm a football - soccer - tragic ! :( )
Were any other Aussies from this forum there ?
