Mugs
Description: America, beware. The Australians are coming — loud, proud, ready to climb over your bars, your stadiums, and famous statues. We’ll bore you senseless about universal healthcare, coffee, calorie consumption, compulsory voting, and Jim McKay’s thunderbastard against South Korea in 1974. You’ve been warned. Forget gun control — you’ll be implementing gum control to get rid of us.
Description: Say g'day to the REAL Statue of Liberty — paw raised high, holding a torch. Because down here, we still believe in democracy, freedom, football, and giving everyone a fair go (even if they can't explain the handball rule). And unlike some countries, we still welcome people to our shores — especially if they bring boots and can whip in a decent corner.
Description: September 10th, 2005. The Socceroos need to beat Uruguay to make their first World Cup in 32 years. The whistle blows for full time, then extra time. It's all square, so onto penalties. Up steps Mark Schwartzer who unbelievably saves two in a row to help ease the Socceroos into the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Bloody legend.
