The limits of possibility

[highlyeccentric]

this conversation tonight, over the phone:


mum: are you getting into the whole world cup fever?
me: no.
*some discussion of japan and lichtenstein*
me: whitty's gone insane, thinks we're going to win the world cup
mum: weeell, anything can happen you know.
me: no. australian beating Brazil can NOT happen.
mum: no, anything can happen.
*joel walks into room and hears mum asserting that anything can happen- knows nothing of prior topic*
joel: no, Australia beating Brazil can't happen.

Ooooerrrrr, psychic too? That'll add an extra dimension to his stage act ;)

nah, not psychic. it tells us what the popular definition of impossible is in the minds of most australians... or maybe just the cynical brown children.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

i got THAT bit. i also get the feeling you're making fun of me, but i'm not sure how. see the confusion?

[lepsdavid.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can see how you'd be confused, for once I was not making fun of you.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

WWAAAAH!

it's funny. it's not supposed to make you cry.

[lepsdavid.livejournal.com]

BAH! tears of happiness, tears of laughter... have you not heard of these things?????

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

who says we can't? all sane people.

australians are good at cricket and swimming. we are not good at soccer.

Ah, but Brazil don't seem to be up to their usual standard... I still think it's possible, even if not likely ;)

Re: Be postive!!

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

but didn't i read somewhere that we're not up to our usual standard either? Kewell's out, or something?

Brazil was lucky to get away with the points against Croatia. If Australia is switched on (not like the first 80 min vs Japan) and if Brazil puts in another under-13's performance, it will be interesting. Nothing is sure in soccer.
