Dear Guus,
I was happy to receive your email this morning thanking me for my help in getting the Socceroos to the World Cup finals in Germany next year. I appreciate your acknowledgement of all the hard work I put into this campaign. From the early morning watching the first leg in Montevideo to the thrilling penalty shoot-out back in Sydney four days later, I was there for you.
I note your jovial expression in the picture that accompanied your email. Hoho, a laugh with the boys! Isn’t life grand? I am glad I could put that smile on your face. And Guus, my dear friend, fear not – you and the team can expect more of the same support from me as preparations are made for the World Cup. After all, it has been acknowledged that I am the deciding factor.
Besides, we may now have the opportunity to beat those miserable Poms 3-1 again, but this time in real international competition rather than a friendly. And that is a scenario at which I salivate.
Your good pal,
Dave Earley.

He will send me another email – personally congratulating me on my intermittent and boring blogging during the World Cup – and how it got Australia over the line!
Wishful thinking? If we beat Croatia…the world is our oyster. Or the sky’s the limit. Or you can’t keep a good man down… ad nauseum.
Maybe Herr Guus will have to send you another Email if you take the World Cup (wishful thinking is good for you).
Serious like a heart attack. The picture was just a square one, without the accompanying speech bubble… I took some liberties, but the email you see at that link is the one I received. I am the Australian football family. Family. Word up. I think I think I’m a gangsta.
You serious?
