    No idea. Have tried to find an answer myself but only thing I can see is people asking "what was with the phones?" on twitter, someone saying "this should only be done in the 74th minute" and one person who wrote:

    "Stands lit with cell phone lights, people singing "I am, you are, we are Australian".
    Goosebumps. Love this.

    Maybe the 74th minute is in respect of the WC qualification in 1974 ?

    True, Mexican waves are a sign of boredom. What, 4 goals isn't enough??? I was at the game. My mate and I didn't participate in the Mexican wave because we were watching the game.

    Some of the chants left me wondering when someone was going to start up with "Oooh Ah Glenn McGrath...", because it was like being at the cricket.

    I did get a big laugh out of the "what do we think of tottenham" chant that started directly behind, but in the tier above me
    OK

    At least in Newcastle it might be harder for all the numpties to start a Mexican wave due to the hill ends being empty.

    As for Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ... that should warrant a kick out by any security.

    Oh that didn't stop a small section on the North-Western side attempting to get one started on Saturday night. Took them a while to give up even though no other Bay was getting involved.

    9 minutes into the match last night (china v north korea) a wave was started. by the chinese fans. 2 laps on the first attempt. pathetic!

    midway through the second half, another wave was attempted by some anglo's, abject failure.

    also, thread title needs updating as the next socceroos match will, I assume, start at 11:30pm.
