Kanga Cup in Thailand!

Bumped into long-time Canberra football Referee and Administrator Chris Conti outside Rajamangala Stadium last night.

With thousands pouring into the night in the crazy Bangkok traffic, we started talking about the Thailand Iraqi match we'd just seen.

Well, you always bump into people from your home town in a crowded flooded Bangkok street!

"The noise inside the stadium was unbelievable," I said.

"Yeah, we were sitting next to a small group of Iraqi's." Chris replied. "I had my Kanga Cup t-shirt on."

"Anyway an Iraqi turns to me, hey I played in the Kanga cup in Canberra."

"I don't remember any Iraqi side playing. What year was it, " no tricking former Teacher Chris.

Quick as a flash the Iraqi says, "2000, we played for Blacktown, we're from Sydney!"

Nice one Chris, and The Kanga Cup is on all this week in Canberra.
