Hope everyone is enjoying the World Cup as much as we are... wow how good was our comeback against Japan! We were in Kaiserslautern for it and the celebrations lasted 10 hours, Aussies absolutely everywhere... although we never want to hear Down Under, Thunderstruck, Khe Sanh or even Shaddapaya Face again...

In Berlin currently playing poker with Sven, recovering from the mad celebrations following watching Freddies late winner. As you all know Sven is clearly the most patriotic guy on planet earth and he has 500,000 Svenska companions here in Berlin, they were pumped. A selection of (non novelty, sorry) photos

As expected I beat the australian grinders in poker. We played a No Limit Hold 'em tournament and it didn't take long before Hengel and Morton were out. Kerr was at that stage a huge chip leader...but he went all in against my AA and he struggled after that. Melon tried to give me some trouble heads up, but he couldn't handle the swings and got outplayed by the undisputable master. If you want a rematch I'm ready...

For the record, I had pocket cowboys, so I was always going all in.

I've never been so pumped after a draw! Hope you kids are hitting the booze hard for all us poor folks back home who have to grind it out at work today. Bring on Azzurri!
