It's time to go........Socceroo supporters!

Well it's about time. I have to be honest, if I go through one more check list it will be the end of me. What we don't have now we don't have! Although I am hoping more than anything in this world that we do, as the regular response of "we'll just get one over there if we need to" may come back to bite one in the proverbial.

The anticipation levels of course have been at their absolute optimum, and not at all been alleviated by the fact that the fanatics have placed our beloved camping ground on a live web cam over the last week. Every spare minute of the day has been spent watching a web cam of a cricket stadium filled with tents. There has been hardly a soul to be seen, not a bird in the air, no not even a tumbleweed to roll across the field. But for some bewildering reason, fanatics tourists have been drawn to the web cam like a moth to a flame.

The rehearsal over the weekend went reasonably well, however I am not 100 percent positive we have got ourselves close enough to tour fit??? I am sure that all the effort and sacrifice will be made to ensure that we hit the ground running. Actually the more I think about it the weekend didn't exactly ease the pain and depression of the wait. The mighty Capalaba Bulldogs had a slip up, the Lions lost at the death and Sam Stosur was beaten in the French Open final.

It can't all be that bad though can it? Put your hand up if you are off to the World Cup...Launch control let the countdown commence! T-Minus 19 hours and 8 minutes.
