Lord love ya Jamie
I'm watching the Japan v Australia game on Star Sports and they have Jamie Reeves as a pundit. He's brilliant. He's so dispassionate in manner but rarely wastes a word and avoids cliches like the plague.
And what other pundit can say 'beautifully behaved' when talking about football fans?! You can imagine him sitting in a bar wearing slippers, smoking a pipe, drinking bitter and wearing a Ronnie Corbett type diamond pullover. He's so damned reasonable...
0-0 so far. Australia started brightly and Viduka worked the keeper early but in the last 10 minutes or so Japan are seeing a lot more of the ball but the final ball is usually poor.
You do feel that Japan want to have this finished as soon as possible. A look at the Aussie bench shows Cahill and Kewell and we know what they did to Thailand the other day.
I just hope we don't go to penalties...
Plenty of empty seats.
