32 years ago, the Socceroos were in Rhodesia (read: Zimbabwe) playing a World Cup qualifier. They decided to get a witch doctor to place a curse on the Rhodesian team so the Aussies could win the match. The curse was put on them. The Aussies won.
But they didn't pay up.
The witch doctor then put a curse on the Australian Soccer team for being such tightarses. They hadn't qualified for the world cup since.
That is until last year when John Safran went to Zimbabwe for his show, John Safran vs. God. The reason why he went there was to get the curse lifted from the Aussie Soccer Team. We saw him bathe in chicken blood and do lots of other stuff in a soccer stadium here and in Zimbabwe.
Looks like it worked. We just won the world cup qualifer against Uruguay 1-0 (4-2 in a penalty shoot-out).
So you may love John Safran or you may very well hate him, but maybe, just maybe he helped to get us through to the World Cup in Germany next year.

first of all, I feel weird justifying a post.
i was watching the world cup qualifier, saw them win, remembered the segment safran did and thought, 'hey that's a nice spin on a post that would have otherwise read kind of like this: "Australia kicked Uruguay's arse. Hooray!"'
yes, it was tongue in cheek *insert dodgy comments about tongues and other people's cheeks here*
