On Sunday, the Wallabies gave the English team a kicking in the rugby, 34-3.
This morning, I listened to the live-streamed radio broadcast on Melbourne thumping the 'Pies from the MCG whilst I had my breakfast and got the kids off to school.
Then in the afternoon , I enjoyed FREE BEER and a big screen at the Australian embassy here in Berlin to see a 3:1 win over the Japanese in the soccer! So, bring on the rest of the orWorld Cup, the sporting landscape looks pretty fine about now.
Here is how we sent the boys off to school today! The school is running a charity game. All the countries were posted on the notice board, and you could bid on the country of your choice. The group who offered the highest bid gets to own the country. One of our teachers was born in Australia, another lived in Adelaide for 4 years, and 2 other teachers and 1 grouped together and "bought" Australia for 35 Euros. The English team sold for 150 Euros, and the German team 140! James R bought Iran for 5 euros.
When Australia plays, the boys are allowed to wear something Australian to school. We asked our parents to send over a tshirt, and we have 3 different ones to choose from. Phil got some face painting crayons,and this is what we came up with.
It is a lot of fun in Berlin at the moment! Lots of flags hanging from peoples homes, we put our Aussie flag over the balcony today too.
