We sang Advance Australia Fair as our anthem but the crowd tried very hard to sing Waltzing Matilda!! The words are in "Fun and Games" along with the U.S. anthem, I had never read the words before.
I would imagine the opening will be replayed on your TV somewhere today. Australia is playing Argentina right now and we are up 11 nil. The crowd is singing Waltzing Matilda HA!!! They said they could not sing it. Not a chance!!! Sure hope we win this opening game considering!
This weekend is also the anniversary of the Bali bombings in which many Australians were killed. The Wallabies are wearing a symbol of this on their jerseys. The world would be a better place if aggression was taken out on the sporting field in good spirits and with rules that everyone could play by. Sportsmanship and mateship, best and fairest, this is what this tournament is all about.
