Last night's Asian Cup final was a sad loss for the Socceroos and all its supporters. I was surprisingly disappointed as a non-sport watcher and with a particularly low level of interest in football (soccer). But, I had invested a lot of time in dragging 3 little girls to 6 evening matches at various venues around Doha. A particular highlight in last night's game which went into 30 minutes overtime was obviously not the 1-0 scoreboard but in seeing all the Australian supporters around. Just in the few rows around us we had people from Pakistan, India, Syria, Uzbekistan, American and Ethiopia all cheering for Australia. In fact it was the Syrian crew photographed that tried to lead the Australians around us in chants for the Socceroos.
