Qat-aren't

50,000 mates and I rocked up to the Telstra Dome last night to see the Socceroos take on Qatar (or Guitar as we called them) to mark the start of the World Cup qualification process. We decided to show our allegiances by wearing Australian flags as capes, which poses a bunch of questions about respecting your flag. For instance, Jonny let his flag touch the ground, which Duke promptly informed means "in scouts if that happens you have to sweep the hall". Awesome. If letting it touch the ground is bad, imagine what passing wind on it, or allowing it on one of Melbourne's trains is like!

Check out Jonny inserting his ticket! (Note: Not a metaphor)

We were positioned in the green and gold army, their only weapons seemed to be a whistle that was right f**king behind my head. I didnt know whether to cheer along or turn around and knock the pricks head off. We soon discovered Guitar weren't very good, and probably only came here for the holiday and the duty free shopping. This was proven when 9 minutes in we saw their goalie (who looked like Dikembe Mutombo) asking fans about the best way to get to Puffing Billy.

We saw Dukes exact double last night, it was a weird experience. This other guy was a bit cleaner though. When they both saw each other their eyes locked for a moment, and then there was almost a look of disgust come across their faces. Grosse.

We spent some time at the train station at the end of the night, here is proof. This is a weird Matrix style photo, taken just as Jonny was morphing to climb in Ben's mouth.

Doesnt everyone look better in capes??
