Who's going for Australia at the World Cup?

Normally I don't care who wins when they play, but for this upcoming game I've become a soccer expert, have learnt every chant and might even go out buy myself a shirt. Doubt I'll watch the game coz it'll probs conflict with something else I'm doing, but will be available after the game to gleefully gloat in the direction of any American (let's face it, their soccer chants suck) if we win. If, by chance we lose, then life moves on as normal and we shall never speak of soccer again. Also, the collective 'we' I use to show my unity with the team will swiftly go back to being 'they'.

Anyone else joining me in being a fairweather fan?

As I am in competitive crochet, which is not at all.

However, out of respect for the Aussie fans who made up this chant, I'm going to join them.
