An Argentinian, a German and an Aussie walk into a bar…

Here at Axle8 we’re cheering on the Socceroos by littering the area with green and gold! Check out our collection of swag that’s growing daily!

Despite our absolutely crushing defeat against Germany (of which the score is never to be mentioned again), hopes are still high here and around the nation for the Socceroos to make it to the next round. A win against Ghana and Serbia is mandatory! 

Our new German recruit rightfully proudly bares her colours, whilst our Argentinian veteran celebrates daily by kicking a soccer ball through the front door daily screaming “Goooooooooal!” (if only!). As it stands both heavy weight countries have a decent shot at taking out the World Cup and we have our second highest hopes for them… right up there… just under the Socceroos :)

On a different note, we’ve all been pulled into a World Cup sweepstakes organised in our office in hope of riches and glory. What did the Axle8 team pick out of the box of 32 countries?

Switzerland
Paraguay
Netherlands
Denmark
New Zealand 
and the one and only… Australia! 

Our best chance as a team to win the grand prize lies with the Dutch. Having said that, there’s no prize for almost winning so things are looking somewhat gloomy… but then again Switzerland won against Spain and NZ drew against Slovakia so who knows? Amongst ourselves it’s a wager of who drew the team that gets knocked out 1st!

There’s no doubt all eyes around here will be focused on the Australia vs Ghana match starting tomorrow night at midnight. C’mon Australia!
