Given that I vehemently dislike soccer and consider Australian Rules Football to be a vastly superior sport, I will feel it my patriotic duty to rejoice when the Socceroos fail to make the World Cup.
The only smart decision that they could make, which might drum up support here in Australia, is for them to announce an immediate boycott of the Qatar tournament in protest at the Qatar airport incident and the general human rights situation there.
But the slim hope of international mediocrity beckons, so they will play on to perdition.
Hopefully the rest of the nation turns its back on this sport and reaffirms its support for true football (AFL) and all the other worthy Australian sports.
Lost For Words!
