Socceroos vs Bahrain 10 June 2009

Pretty unconvincing team in the first half but they managed to play more cohesively in the second. We are lucky that they won 2:0 because their defence left a lot to be desired. The Bahrainies had a few good players but also weak links (lucky for us). Some of them were feigning injury and adding acrobatics to make a small knock look like a major foul.

While it wasn’t a world class game we had a great time anyway. Just being at ANZ Stadium and watching the players in real life is always a brig thrill. The match against Bahrain was the coldest we had ever been too and we ended up wrapped in blankets and warm jackets. We were saying afterwards that it was probably better to be cold than wet, because we got drenched last time we went to see the Socceroos.

Conrad unwell

Conrad has been sick again. He felt unwell Sunday night and his nausea and headache flared up badly when he went to bed. Since then he has been off school and could barely move off the lounge. Panadol helped his head and backache yesterday but at first he was too nauseous and dizzy to take any medication and the light affected him badly. He had to lie under the blanket to protect his eyes and could not get up or walk unaided most of the morning. He is starting to feel dejected and down about being sick again and it coming on so unexpectedly. One minute he is fine and the next his stomach starts feeling strange and then he is dizzy and nauseous. The headache then gets worse and worse and he is virtuallly incapacitated for days on end. The Sandomigran seemed to do the trick for a while but last week and this week he has had such bad episodes again.
