Well, that was fun, and more than a little brutal. Sorry any Filipino friends.

I think it was a record 50k+ crowd

59,155 - they put the attendance up on the big screen. That just annoys me - that means there were about 1,000 empty seats.

I put it more down to corporate sponsors etc being allocated free tickets they didn't care about. For other sold out events like big AFL games, those tickets would find a home. I'm just assuming people are wasting them without proof.

The poor Filipinos. The Iranians put up a good defense the other day to only have the Aussies make 2 goals.
