Moments in time.....

I wrote this the other day when adrenaline levels were maxing off the charts...... Thanks to Australia getting their first ever World Cup victory against Japan 3-1.

I hadn't written an NNN in about four months, but my emotions demanded a written outlet...

Moments in time are only enjoyed by those who are
awake to witness their glory,

Today was one such occasion..... As when it comes to the world stage there is none bigger than that of the World Game's Cup.
Births are made of it's victories and alas, deaths have been made of it's defeats.

It truly is the only world game that exists. Thus it is on this stage and only this stage that a
sporting country has the opportunity to stand up and be judged by it's global peers...

In the past this judgement has proved too much for many a proud footballing nation.... like the winless England campaign of 58 and likewise Argentina's effort's in 82. Two truly football entrenched nations... but at the time, also two nations not ready for the occasion...

So how does it be that a nation of mere Oceania decent make an impact of a truly global demand....

Your answer:

Heart.... And Heart alone.

For scary as it sounds, tomorrow many Australian's will wake up still not knowing who there first Prime Minister was, but there is no doubt they will sleep in the night knowing all too well who their first World Cup goal scorer was...

A man by the name of Tim Cahill has etched his name in the history of Australian sport.... and now it is up to us, not to forget it!

I know I won't....

This NNN interlude was created on the back of a love
for the game...
