God made possible

Jamie's lounge room, 3 of his close mates, 7 or 8 mates from church, and me and Stefan my mate from work, along with Jamie's wife Susan, who was a great host grabbing drinks and having hot food ready on the mark of half time, gotta get me a wife like that.
So nearly 15 people crammed the lounge room, some green and gold spread about. Australia vs Japan in the first Group F match of the world cup finals Germany 06. And we watched as a tragic mistake from the Referees assistant when Schwarzer was clearly impeded in the box and a goal was awarded anyway early in the first half. But Australia continued to domintate possession, making plenty of chances at goal but were kept out by the Japanese defense and some good saves by their goalkeeper. So 0-1 to Japan at half time was a travesty, but the match was not over at all yet. Australia continued strongly in the second half but the through ball tactics applied early on weren't working and so the master Guus made the changes, taking Bresciano, Moore and Wilkshire off, bringing on Aloisi, Cahill and Kennedy on to put the fresh legs up front needed to shake the Japanese defense and score as Tim Cahill did in the 84th min and then again in style 5 mins later in the 85th min, to make it Aus 2-1 Jap, with the win in their hands and some pressure applied by Japan Australia responded again and again wanting to seal the game they continued to press forward looking for another goal. and in the 92nd min in injury time the great Aloisi broke through beat the defender and shot beating the keeper to score and clinch the match for Australia!
A well deserved win and each time Australia scored there were men hugging and screaming in joy and excitement at the achievements of the Australian team in their first match in the top of the world arena for 32 years.
That was excitement and passion, with joy and love, zeal. They were kingdom moments where different people were together, sharing life in a way God made possible.
