Last week we went with the Nagles and Levi, our Swiss/Hungarian friend/visiting researcher at CSIRO and Stacey, to the Asian Champions League soccer match between the Newcastle Jets and Nagoya Grampus from Japan. To put it bluntly, the level of competition was terrible: closer to college soccer than the MLS. On the bright side, the insults chanted from the Squadron were quite entertaining, and apparently security doesn't care if you chuck alcohol containers or spare change at members of the other team stupid enough to taunt the crowd. The Jets lost 1-0 (the lone goal was significantly aided by a deflection from a referee jumping into the path of the ball).
