Well slap me on a hook and call me bait. Australia actually played fucking well in one of their international games.
Granted we were only playing Jamaica and it was a friendly, but for once we actually played quite well and we well deserved the 5-0 scoreline.
It pisses me off big time that Farina was not sacked earlier so Hiddick would have more time to work with the players, cos at the moment he is doing a fantastic job.
Gentlemen, the last round of South American qualifiers are on Wednesday. As it stands atm:
| Team | P | W | D | L | F | A | Pts |
| Argentina | 16 | 9 | 4 | 3 | 27 | 16 | 31 |
| Brazil | 16 | 8 | 6 | 2 | 31 | 16 | 30 |
| Paraguay | 17 | 8 | 4 | 5 | 23 | 22 | 28 |
| Ecuador | 17 | 8 | 3 | 6 | 23 | 19 | 27 |
Uruguay
| 17 | 5 | 7 | 5 | 22 | 28 | 22 |
| Colombia | 17 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 23 | 16 | 21 |
| Chile | 17 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 18 | 22 | 21 |
| Venezuela | 17 | 5 | 3 | 9 | 20 | 25 | 18 |
| Peru | 16 | 3 | 6 | 7 | 16 | 25 | 15 |
| Bolivia | 16 | 4 | 1 | 11 | 18 | 32 | 13
|
The dirty Uruguayan cunts are in 5th place at the moment, but Colombia and Chile still have a chance to finish 5th and ensure a play-off against Australia in November. Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Ecuador have all qualified already.
These are the games remaining in the qualifiers

| Paraguay | v | Colombia | 20:30 |
| Peru | v | Bolivia | 20:00 |
| Uruguay | v | Argentina | 21:30 |
I think Chile will beat Ecuador, Columbia will get a draw against Paraguay and Uruguay will draw with Argentina, meaning we'll be playing Chile, but fuck knows what will happen, cos all three teams gunning for 5th place are playing teams that have already qualified.
