I'll admit.. I didn't watch it (I'm in the States at the moment).. but winning in a penalty shootout.. it sounds like an awesome way to win. Very dramatic. That said, it's not a slaughter of uruguay, and a lot of shootouts, while still involving skill, come down to luck. It's good to win, but it's not as if it was a lot to brag about.
I imagine Australia will get slaughtered early in the finals.
Sorry to rain on the parade, but these people that never knew the Soccerroos existed are suddenly becoming the worlds biggest fans.. it's sort of annoying.
