Damn.
![]() But England were really lucky to get that penalty. I actually think they didn't deserve it, and I'm not saying that because I'm Scottish, but because all that Owen did was stumble to his knees. There was no need for a penalty. But I'm happy that Scotland got as far as they did. Walter Smith has done some great things to the team. ![]() ![]() |

Well Holland have beaten the Czech's so England have qualified.
But of course Sven will still have to go. Still, the football today was quite terrible, too many high balls up to Crouch and he didn't win as many as he probably should. |

The penalty was soft in the sense that that kind of thing usually happens and if penalties are awarded for that then they'd be like 5 given each game. Depends which way you look at it though, if refs are clamping down on that then it should have been given and players would cut it out, but it's making it less physical, so i can see it both ways.
The one which wasn't given was clear-cut though. |

Find me a ref that wouldn't give that though. In my league we've had some absolutely terrible refs and I'm confident that every last one of them would have given a penalty for that

Well slap me on a hook and call me bait. Australia actually played fucking well in one of their international games.
![]() ![]() Gentlemen, the last round of South American qualifiers are on Wednesday. As it stands atm:
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
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. |

Who are we hoping for? I remember you said there was a decent Chilean community here, so here's to hoping we don't get them.
Would be nice though to get Colombia then win thanks to an own goal and see whatshisface get executed though [/blatant ripoff of posts from another forum] |

Mark Viduka, Marco Bresciano and Jason Culina were excellent against Jamaica.
Well I dunno who I want. Let's look at the 3 opponents we might get Uruguay Pros: We've played them before and we will know their stengths and weaknesses a bit better than the other two countries. We have also beaten them before (1-0 in Melbourne) so we know we can beat them. Cons: They'll also know our strengths and weaknesses, plus they beat us overall last time to qualify, with the 3-0 in Montevideo ( ![]() Chile Pros: Would be more suited to us Cons: A very tricky team that can go awol if it wants to. Plus, a large Chilian population in Australia. We don't want a farcical situation like we had when Turkey visited here, with nearly half the ground supporting Turkey. ![]() Columbia Pros: 'Easier' opponent (although they're all difficult), we probably have a very good chance to put a few past them in Sydney. Cons: High altitude...will be an absolute cunt to have to travel there for the away leg. They're all gonna be difficult - especially the away legs - but I think overall it will be better to play Chile. I'm just fucking rapt we have the away leg first so we can go there, hopefully steal a draw, then get the fuck out of there, come home and just gun it for a result. ![]() Let's see what happens Wednesday |

tbh Colombia are probably Australia's best bet, they've looked pretty average whenever I've seen them the last couple years. I dunno about Chile they used to be good but the star players I knew of (i.e. Salas) are pretty much done now, I don't know what the new generation is like. Uruguay are always unpredictable and still have guys like Recoba and Forlan, so you can never count them out.

He did hold him, he quite clearly had hold of his arm while he was trying to run away from him.

Go to 00:26 on the video and you'll see that Owen just stumbles to his knees. The Owen "Entanglement" |

its soft, don't get me wrong and i wouldn't blame him for not giving it but he clearly does have hold of him. He doesn't just stumble.

It looks like Owen was trying to keep him away but he got his arm tangled, so it's his own fault. I still think England we lucky to have gotten that penalty. Plus it didn't help with that other guy running in front, ruining the view. ![]() |
