We're in the next round......Go the Socceroos

The whole reason this Santa left Paris, and the biggest party of the year, was to lend what ever support was possible to the Socceroos who were playing Croatia in a do or die affair at the stadium in Stuttgart. Unfortunately, they had to do without their secret weapon....No. 8. Anyway, it was off to sit from the sidelines. Volker "Aussie for a day" Meyer and myself caught the train into Stuttgart central from the airport. As the train made it's way toward central, more and more golden tops could be seen getting on the train......however this was far and above out-numbered by the waves of red and white that got on as well.
Upon arrival at central, two things became plainly clear:
1. there was a hell of a lot more red and white than green and gold.....kid you not at least 20:1
2. the average size of the Croatians was about foot tall than most of the Aussies that were around.

Needless to say, as I searched for some green and gold to find support, it became obvious that if we won I needed some numbers. As i searched around the crowd...........where's wally?

at this point, i shall end and keep you in suspense......as i check to see that my photos are up loading as i want!!
