Quote ="LyndsayGill"Just wish I'd had the chance to see the game wether we were crap or not. Got in my seat in the West Stand at 5.15, keeled over in agony at 5.30 and at 6pm was in an ambulance from the ground to Jimmy's.
Turns out I've got kidney stones, not sure what is the most painful, the kidney stones or the defeat. £40 for the ticket and saw sweet FA.

Get well soon - FWIW the last 20 minutes of the game left me feeling pretty sick, but I wouldn't swap!
On the bright side, the Aussies were only better than us in four areas - they were faster, stronger, sharper and (crucially) much much more intelligent. You have to question whether the emphasis in our game is weighted towards fitness too early instead of skills and tactics. Whenever an Aussie looked for an off-load, there was someone available. On too many occasions the same wasn't true for England. When the Aussie backs ran the ball, passes went perfectly to hand so that they could be run onto without breaking stride. When England passed, the receiver too often had to bend/jump/slow down or even stop to catch it.
The Aussies, quite simply, looked as though they were born running with a ball in their hand and, although it pains me to say this, they were an absolute joy to behold!
I read this morning that the Aussies get to choose the ref. Is that true? And if it is, could someone tell me why? Thanks.
