Dodgy win against the Kiwis.

Somewhat lucky win against the Danes.

Soundly beaten by the footballing superpower that is the US.

As far as preparation for the tournament proper I wouldn't have thought that was too much out of the ordinary. But the Captain's response in saying we are on track after the US defeat has not inspired much confidence.

they were saving themselves for the real challenge - Germany(4:30am Monday. I'll be in the bar.). Go Socceroos!

Sunday's game between USA & England will be a ripper too. 4:40am.

I'll be in front of my noo big screen with my uggs on with a fire going.

Nothing else on, just uggs.

Well, I didn't get up to watch the England v USA match, surprised that it turned out to be a draw. Typical England under achievers.  

<EDIT> I just saw the Rob Green mistake, what a goose, mistakes like that will end up costing you big time. That was much worse than the time Seaman got caught out of position by the Ronaldinho free kick, but then again, that was an unbelievable free kick. 

I actually picked Korea to beat Greece. Korea played extremely well, Greece had nothing, they started to make it a contest with about 20 minutes till full time. So I don't know what happened between Greece being Euro champs to now. Will be watching the Aussies tomorrow morning hoping for a win but will settle for a draw.

Can't wait for the Portugal v Brazil match.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts

Are you absolutely certain? I'm not so sure   

just saw the Rob Green mistake, what a goose..

I'm sure about that though....

It was very nice of Germany to let us play football with them.

Pharkin, wasn't that a lesson!

Geez - only four-nil.

Missed it by _that_ much.

Still can't convince myself he was going for goal ... from memory embarrassing surprise was his first response - before ego took over.

Outplayed in the first half, embarrassed in the second.

Any opinions on Timmy's red (other than it buggering us up for Ghana)? When I saw the red my first thought was 'but he wasn't already on a yellow' then I realised the ref didn't show a yellow ... only red . Very harsh I reckon.

Could have been a different game if we could have taken that early chance ... and then the handball that went unpunished. Sure we would still have been outplayed but the result would have been much different.

[Raux]

damn, guys. You were supposed to piss off my German wife with a win last night. Not give her more attitude 

[ozzys4r]

Did anyone really expect anything different..? Really... we suck at soccer... I cant wait for it to be over...

Looked like he was trying to pull out of the tackle when he collected him. But I agree, too harsh from Referee Dracula.

Pim f*cked up, playing Tim as a forward & not giving Harry any game time which he needs, even if we were going to lose anyway. Josh Kennedy needs a rocket up him as well, his timing is way off. Bresciano needs to get in there as well, IMHO.

Bring back Viduka I say. 

[Betty]

Well that was better.

Despite all the blame on Pim for his selections in the first game ... reality is we played shit. Much better performance tonight ... ahh ... this morning ... err ... yesterday ... umm ... much better performance in the second game.

Probably screwed though.

  Well played Dragon.

Now I understand ... watching the cup games I was starting to think those first couple of years on the bike without earplugs were coming back to haunt me.

[Stinky Wizzleteats]

Well, I was right. 

But, IF ONLY! If only they played like they did this morning, if only they had all the troops to pick from, if only, if only ..........


Holmans goal was a farken pisser! 

Cahills wasn't bad either.
