It was like a world where John Bertrand didn't outsmart Dennis Connor and Ian Thorpe didn't swim over the top of...

of Gary Hall Jr.

And that world sucks, to be honest.

That sucks.

It really does, Gerard.

I must admit that you just...

You know, only a month ago I watched a replay of the documentary of Australia 2 winning the World Cup and the smugness of the New York Yacht Club.

I had to watch it a second time because I enjoyed it so much.

Just the Australians wallowing in the New York Yacht Club, you know, having to surrender the cup to Australia.

And I thought this can be a beautiful moment, this game against the USA, but it just didn't shape up.

But there are other fish to fry in this tournament and I just think that...

I bet you if you went into the Socceroos camp now, and I was speaking to one of our reporters last night who said this, it's almost like they've just had a shower and moved on and are just so much more relaxed for getting that horrible loss out of the way.

Sure, there's a bit of anxiety as in, oh, we could have done better.

But the next game will have a completely different vibe to it, and I reckon they'll win.

All right.

Terrific.

Let's hope for Friday lunchtime and some good stuff.

Hey, I've got this little idea.

Here's Wyndham Clark winning the U.S.

Open this morning.
