Penalties are a sucky way to decide a world cup game. Ireland lost 3-2 in a penalty shoot out last night after drawing 1-1 with Spain at full time. It was right on the 90 minute mark that Ireland scored the equalizer, which bought the house down at Pugg Mahones. Ya gotta feel for Kilbane though, who missed two penalties throughout the game. Ah well...

The mood at Pugg Mahones was awesome. Myself, Simon and Daniel turned up around 7pm (some 2 and a half hours before the game) so to try and get a prime position. The Sweden/Senagal game had just finished as we arrived and as a result the place was full of Sweeds. Not to mention those hot looking, tall, blonde women that the country is renowned for. Had a good optic nerve!!

Loads of Irish kept flocking in and we felt like a minority being Australians, not that that's a problem, in fact it was great being in a pub full of backpackers cheering and singing for their country at high volume. Tried chating up a few Irish birds whom were watching the game next to us, seemed a little snobby at first but got 'em talking as the game progressed. Then Ireland went and lost and alot of people lost the will to party it seemed. Me and Simon stayed on, drunk to much and chatted to anyone and everyone. Don't think we knew where we were by the end of the night?

Got back to Simons place around 2:30? The things alcohol makes one do. Cracking an egg on my forehead just before passing out seemed funny at the time ok! Felt like shit this morning.

People reading this jounal must think im an alco. I'm not I swear. It's just the law to drink lots whilst watching a world cup game ok.
