Would love to get down to Australia someday for stargazing. Plenty of objects only visible from the Southern Hemisphere that I want to see before I croak.

the 2 best ever World Cups have been in Mexico , the 1970 we saw the best ever team Brazil , wow they were everything a team should be , every player was a star but they played as a team !!! the 1986 World Cup was the 2nd best ever , Maradona the star , but Argentina played as a team !!!

hmm... thinking of best world cups ... 54, 74, 90, 14 come to mind ...but Mexico 86 had one of the better world cup songs.

According to my OZ slang dictionary, a person from south of the Queensland or New South Wales border is known as a "Mexican" ... no kidding.

Biff , yes they were great too !!!! in 1954 , Hungary thrashed you in the early rounds 8-3 the in the Final you were down 2-0 after 10 min and you came back to win 3-2 , Hungary were a great team , they had Puskas the Maradona of the 1950s . in 1974 you were down 1-0 after 1 min and you came back to win 2-1 , Kaiser Franz was the greatest sweeper I have ever seen , even though he played in midfield in his early days . in 1990 you were too good for Argentina . the Brazil of 1970 were really special , they play in your school yard , joy and fun . Argentina were no way as good as Brazil , but they played like a team . the Final against Germany was so even anyone could have won it , that was a great game . Biff I`m hoping we get some really great games again , I think we will. have a look how many good sides we have , Brazil , Argentina , Germany ,Spain , France , Croatia , Serbia ,England , Portugal , Belgium , Uruguay , Poland , Nigeria and Senegal !!!
