As we all know, Australia played Germany in the World Cup on Sunday. If you followed it (or even if you didn’t) you’ll know that we lost to the Germans.. preeeeety badly.
Luckily, earlier on Sunday we were blissfully unaware of our impending embarrassment. We proudly donned our (freshly purchased) Australian flags and tattoos, and with lamingtons under one arm and XXXX beer under the other, we headed to our friend’s place for a true-blue Aussie/Deutsch BBQ. It was a great day, building up to the match with tug-of-war, volleyball and goal-kicking games, German sausages, Kangaroo steaks, and Black Forest Cake. The match was played at about 8.30pm our (German) time, and would have been great game if we’d actually scored. Unfortunately by the end of it, even the kids who’d – only hours before – professed their love of Australia, wanted out.
Oh well, better luck this weekend Australia! Thanks for giving us an excuse to have a big BBQ anyway :)
