I have always wanted to go see the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) or just the 'G' as it is known here. It is one of the biggest cricket grounds in the world and has a capacity of 100,000. It really is an impressive site and can be seen for miles around. We went to an evening world cup qualifier between Australia and Japan.



The match was a good game. We had already qualified for the world cup having been undefeated in our group, but so were Japan. We were 1-0 down at half time, but came back to win 2-1. Because the stadium is soooo big it felt a little empty, but still was a pretty good atmosphere, especially when choruses of Aussie, Aussie, Aussie go round, or a Mexican wave too. The announced at half time that there were 69,000 attendance!!!! I think thats more than a Hampden final for a meaninless final. I cant wait to go to a capacity match. The AFL big games regularly get 100,000.
