overcoming tough odds is what Australian football does best
Which sort of football, as SS just asked. If he means soccer then it makes sense: we never make it into the world cup, is the obvious one, so the one or 2 times we have everyone acts like we won the moon.

You'd think it was pretty unlikely that a football player could over play again following his partying with a biker days before the biker went on an amphetamine-fuelled rampage that culminated in a murder and two other people being shot wouldn't you?

Tough odds are:
- All major grounds are oval shaped. You can't see a fucking thing!- "Soccer" is a "pooftah" game.- Qatar's massive bid.- Kosmina got the arse from Sydney FC which reduces A-League comedic incidents by about 350%.- Australian Rules is a superior sport.- It's just another excuses for the Serb and Croat communities to instigate urban warfare on each other.- Townsville said they couldn't loan $10 to the bid after signing up Robbie Fowler for the NORTH QUEENSLAND FURY.- There's still a few people in Sydney who insist that Rugby League is a sport.- IT'S GOING TO BE FOURTY FUCKING DEGREES TOMORROW AT LEAST- At least England will fuck it up somehow and won't win the bid.

we never make it into the world cup
We're leading our qualification pool! If we beat Japan next week, we're all but set for 2010.

This Australian tonal usage is now pervasive throughout Irish sport, btw, presumably through the influence of your rugby coaches.

Incidentally there's a rough equivalent with English working class football people, where they'll suddenly say, "but no" and follow it with something serious, as if switching from a BANTER mode that often wasn't actually present.

But seriously, how did Australia get away with not doing putting a supergroup together to fight hunger in the 80s? UK did. USA did. CANADA DID, WITH VERSES IN FRENCH EVEN.
