So you caught the fallacy in my argument. Regardless, the political climate in this country is astonishingly antagonistic and, quite frankly, annoying. If Mr Hockey and Mr Abbott have a plan, they'll announce it in the next few days. I only hope they don't waste our valuable short attention...

I'm confused.

If you pay upfront, they will cut the discount by half. I know it's his prerogative to disagree, but Joe Hockey was seriously displeased with this budget. And yet, he did not provide any ways to improve. He's got to understand that Australian citizens no longer care for the Coalition...

I actually agree.... although I'm looking for a civilian job in defence so.... :( for me. There are other spending cuts. It's being called middle class welfare cuts and the forcing of bludgers into work for 11 months to qualify for work for the dole rather than 6 months (which I also support).

$49.4b deficit 2010-11 $22.6b deficit 2011-12 $3.5b surplus 2012-13 (Source: Sky News Australia) A rush to surplus? Were the spending cuts of $1.3b in defence spending and $1.2b in defence efficiency necessary? Halving the HECS upfront payment subsidies. $2.2b spent on mental health. 16,000...

This is not even nearly the most important part of the budget.... Where is the budget speak?

I was going to, but I thought that if I'm gonna work today and stay up all night tonight, I needed to fit sleep in somewhere.

Gerrard put in a very well-placed goal. He made it look almost too easy.

I decided to go to sleep 30 minutes into the Greece/Korea match. Boring football. Once Greece started kicking and hoping it would go somewhere, it was probably better to count my blessings and wake up for England/US.

Lol. I heard it was a crap game. I decided to sleep so I could stay up for tonight's matches. Probably a good decision. Predictions for USA and England? Still depressed that Byun (from Sydney FC) is not playing for South Korea.

Oh shiiiiiiiiitttt, that was a bad tackle. I almost thought it might be more than a yellow. Very reckless by the South African defender.

Curse uni for putting exams on during the World Cup! :D My next exam is Tuesday and I'm reasonably prepared... but maybe not for the one on Wednesday. Back to the game updates, these Mexican strikers really need to be more careful with their runs. They've been flagged offside twice in a matter...

It doesn't usually happen and Khune made the mistake there of coming out to far and doing nothing to retrieve the ball. Although, he did just make a brilliant save.

Should watch it, it's not a bad match. To answer your question, the keeper was out of the goals, but there was a defender on the goal line. The Mexican striker was behind the keeper (that is, between the goal line and the keeper) and was called offside when he played the ball. The argument was...

He's been quite calm, cool and collected this game. I guess there's no real reason to get excited. Maybe SBS sedated him...

Some very good offside calls by the AR on the Mexican attacking side. The disallowed goal is such a little known and rarely recognised part of the offside rule.

And it's a big field. Maximum dimensions.

And a good football stadium. Nothing like any of the large ones we have here. Those vuvuzelas must sound very loud. The enclosed space won't help.

Kevin Muscat is commentating?

American Muslims are concerned with backlash over the incident already. I get what you mean about the "alarm bells" now, and it was certainly the first thing that the Americans jumped to after the attack. According to CNN, the comm. director for the American-Islamic Council wrote their letter of...
