Most Australians only care about soccer when they are still in the game. Once they are out, no one is looking anymore.
We do have two guys at work who are French. I joked that it would be the most hilarious for everyone at work if England got into the final and win the World Cup
even while we were in the game, i can't see much "excitement" hahaha. we have an England rep here @livinguktaiwan. she has been betting England to win from day 1 hahahaha
