HeroMessages flood in as Aussie support goes into overdrive
Support for the Socceroos has broken new records this morning as wave after wave of Telstra HeroMessagesВ® flood in from across the country.
Australian fans have been sending their congratulatory messages directly to the team, with peak periods seeing up to 50 messages sent a minute.
Messages have come from fans from all walks of life including converted AFL and NRL fans, and young children running late for school. Messages have been sent from live sites in Sydney and Melbourne, bedrooms, living rooms, buses, trains and even from Stuttgart.
Telstra spokesperson Warwick Ponder said the company had been overwhelmed by the response.
“The number of messages coming in for the Australian team has been phenomenal, and we are delighted to be able to help connect the Australian fans to our successful team on the other side of the World.
“I encourage all Australians to continue to send messages and show the team how much this win means to everyone back at home,” he said.

* When kewell scored THAT goal my husband, my 2 sons & myself were jumping
up & down with arms in air. I looked around & even our 13 month old
was throwing his arms up & trying to jump copying us. It was as priceless
as THAT goal. Well done socceroos.
