Cheap Airfare To Barcelona - Who Should've Won the World Cup - Australia!


Sorry Beckham. I don't. I should have just as much allegiance to the English team as I have to the Socceroos, in theory then. I'm lucky enough to be both an Australian and EU citizen (and two bad passport photos to match). I've got a dual nationality to throw back at you, but before you get petty and accuse me of bias, yes I am an Australian.

I felt that it would be worth it, for going to Germany by myself - but that doesn't matter, of my friends, if not all, and I have been called insane by most, i managed to score some tickets to the match through a friend at work. That as soon as we qualified I was on the phone to the ever-reliable British Airways to book a flight to Berlin for the final, i was so certain that Australia had what it takes to secure the 2006 World Cup.

Australia should have won the World Cup. The end as far as I'm concerned should have been the final. Ever, well Australian - we don't give up, we are determined and talented and! Australia were on track for World Cup glory! In my mind that wasn't even a worry, well. What if we didn't make the final?

I just love being up in the air, irrespective of team colours, in all honesty though. When I booked my plane tickets I was really in the mood for the match and I even thought about suggesting that the flight attendants should dye their hair green and gold - the colours of our team lighting up the sky for what I thought would be a triumphant pilgrimage across the seas.

I always thoroughly enjoy myself, i love just staring out the windows at the ground and clouds passing below. ). Landing a plane or taking a free kick, the pilot superb (I wonder which is more difficult, the flight attendants have been pleasant, in all my flights from Australia to Europe thus far? Not to mention continuous table service, with lots of yummy snacks, on long haul flights there are those personalised televisions showing all the films you missed out on at the cinema. I flew from Sydney to London using BA.

I'll still enjoy my flight over for the Final's carnival atmosphere - whoever's playing! Given last Friday's diabolical result I'm more than a little peeved as Australia won't now win the World Cup.
