Yeah. I think a lot of us had this romantic notion that everyone would want to support Australia as their second team.
Not after our performances against the Dutch and tonight, though. |

Guys on a serious note, do not take any notice of what Y2C says on this forum after Australia's win. He, unlike Downunder, Kid Robb, myself and Gooner, is a bandwagon glory-seeking cunt who has no idea about the beautiful game.
Viduka had a blinder I thought. ahahahha @ Hiddink going absolutely awol on the sidelines and shoving some Jap cunts. AHAHAHAHHA @ the Jap cunts getting cleaned up by our boys. Now that we're in Asia I can see Japan being a massive rival On a final note fuck the ref tonight, the card-happy cunt. I'm not kidding as soon as I heard he was Egyptian I went "oh shit here we go" cos those Arab cunts ALWAYS crucify us. Why the fuck wasn't the ref European? If the Japan goal shouldn't have been awarded then we got our revenge when he denied them a pretty blatent penalty. |

...which was filmed at South Melbourne may I add.
![]() Kid Robb will back me up on this, for years I've been saying that Australia's biggest problem has been qualifying for the World Cup. Once we're there we can cause a few headaches and compete. In the past we have had some killer results against quality opposition but never managed to make the World Cup. Now we have, the lads have had a good 3 weeks of training together and some good hitouts against Greece, Holland and Liechenstein, plus we have a fucking master of a coach. Hiddink you fucking legend. Make the cunt the PM after the WC, for me he's already achieved enough in Germany! |

Well, we've quadrupled our all-time World Cup points tally, that should be enough of a case for PM right there
. And yes, anything can happen in a tournament with a 3 game group stage; Greece proved this last time round.Speaking of bandwagon, even my olds stayed up to watch it

not looking good here. I don't feel bad though cause it's the Czechs and I want to see them do well. Czech vs Brazil would be a nice little matchup for the next round.

What the hell are the yanks doing? Bruce Arena looks particularly disinterested.
Watching the greatest 10 minutes ever, followed by the septics getting outplayed and they don't even care, sounds like a pretty good night to me. The only way this could get any better is if Ghana put 9 past Italy. |

Fuck Bruce Arena. Stupid dickhead saying Australia are nowhere near as good as the US. Well heres news for you buddy your team is fucking crap and only qualifies every time cos FIFA gives your shitty confederation 3.5 places and hands it to you and Mexico on a plate. Fuck I wish we were in the same group as the US so we could give them a footballing lesson as the Czechs just did then.
On a slightly different note the football the Czechs played was outstanding, I'd love to see them take on Brasil |

A lot of woodwork action today! Luca Toni just clattered the bar. He's scarily good at scoring, gotta fancy him for Golden Boot if the Italians make it past the group stages, especially now Jan Koller looks to be out.

There have been a ridiculous number of amazing goals already. Also a ridiculous number of balls being skied, the new lightweight kit is no doubt partly responsible

I knew that was going to happen. Americans, especially in the ignorant media, were so smug coming into the tournament. It was like a quarter-finals appearance four years ago and a bullshit No. 5 ranking made the US a contender. I remember watching the draw a few months back and they were doing "contender or pretender" and the US was a contender according to somebody.
The Czech's are one of the top teams in Europe and they were my pick to make a run. They have the keys to doing well, a top midfielder, great forwards and a world class goalie. I could see them pulling a Croatia/Turkey. Speaking of goalies, Kasey Keller is a pretty good goalie, but he does not give the US any real advantage because two of the worlds top goalies are in our group! If Keller was on the same page as Buffon or Cech, he wouldn't be playing for Borussia Mamgladbach or whatever it's called. I like Keller, but he isn't the cream of the crop like he is being made out to be. Next, the US doesn't have a striker and Landon Donovan is not a forward. McBride is one of my favorite players, and I like him up there, but we don't have the true "striker" forward. Of course they aren't a dime a dozen, which is why guys like Drogba are the top notch in England, but the US needs a guy who knows when to make the run and shoot on the fly. What ever happened to Clint Mathis? He was that guy in 2002 when he played. Finally, the US defense is just awful. There has been so much hype behind that Gooch guy, but he got carded right off the bat and was timid the rest of the game. He was responsible for at least one of the goals, as was Eddie Pope. The US is going to need to come out with a completely different lineup Saturday. I just hate how smug the US has gotten because of a fluke World Cup in 2002. We get lucky, beat Portugal but then tie Korea and lose to Poland. Get a lucky draw against Mexico and then have a solid match against Germany. What about France, Italy, England, Argentina and all of the other traditional powers not showing up? Did they just go away? The top US player is solid for Man City, the top Czech player is a superstar for Juventus. The US is still the underdog until Donovan and some others can prove they can play for big clubs. Then there is the presumption that Ghana is an automatic win. What about Morocco? |

Mathis retired. The Czechs didn't even have Baros yesterday too. Sucks that Koller could be out for a while. They need him up front when they play the powerhouses.
