Yeah I do feel for Japan, particularly since I like watching them but oh well, go Aussie. :) Great come back.

1-0 loss; expected against Asia's strongest team.
1-1 draw; a 'pat on the back, well done lads' performance.
2-1 win; a boilover
3-1; a fantasy.

That did not just happen. I don't believe what I just saw.

I mean the first Aussie goal was just the result of a bad decision by the Japanese goalie, the second was a great strike with a slice of luck and the third one, well, the Japanese defenders left their goalie for dead, didn't they?

OK, I've been putting this down to whinging Aussies for about 65 minutes, but yikes...not looking very good. The right team won in the end, then.

All three Australian substitutes were outstanding. Viduka's still fat and hopelessly overrated. That is all.

A bit harsh on the first part but have agreed with the second part since he was playing in Sydney. :D

You're just pathetic

Did you not see some of the agricultural tackles from Australia? Then you've got the big guys up front that they just hoof it up to...

Sounds like Leeds to me

You gormless tit... etc.



Zzzz.

Scaly - Goto England thread or watch your Durham Football or whatever they play.

Congratulations to Australia on a very good victory. One more win vs. coatia and they will be through to next round.

On the contrary..... he's quite good at it.

Praise indeed to be compared to Dirty Leeds - but in fairness I started that (sorry) by digging at Harry Kewell, a dirty, cheating, diving piece of dirt with less attractive qualities than a headlouse.

And I stand by every word.

He played pretty well I thought (mind you, I'm no avid soccer watcher. Been playing it since I was four though [still rubbish, too]).

That goal was a bit of a mess really and hard to say what exactly happened, some say Schwarzer ran out tried to clear the Japan player out of the way, which knocked himself off balance and so it was a fair goal and Schwarzer's fault. Then there's the obvious Japan played blocked him off etc. There's also the possibility that the Japanese player (on the left) got pushed into the keepers' path.

Anyway Cahill should have given away a penalty at 1-1 (it was pretty blatant) but got away with it, so whatever happened Australia weren't hard done to in the end.
