The problem with working on a project like this is that because it is so diverse you get started on one thing, get inspired by something else, and then end up working in six places at once as the site
Boys against journeymen
OK, it was a friendly. Yes, there were a couple of duff penalty decisions – one given to Australia, one not given to Germany. Yes, the game flipped on its head in a crazy three minute spell. Yes, Australia’s penalty
