Norwood's on Fire
First WC I watched was 94. As an avid Neighbours and Home and Away watcher at the time I was fond of the Aussies, this before I discovered they were a wretched bunch. Anyway I remember them being beaten by Argentina, who I already knew were no good lousy cheats, in an intercontinental qualifying play-off. So what I’m saying is, GRUDGE MATCH.

Incidentally I find it so interesting how much your perspective on Argentina changes depending on what side of the border you were born on.

Ha, isn’t the reasoning the same though? Or as a mate of mine often puts it, same argument different inflection

Australia will be nervous and probably underperform in first half

5-1 after we allow their midget a consolation goal in the 22nd minute of overtime just to get the ref to call time

Remember that Senegal side which had a ball tearing run at the 2002 WC? FMD they were so good to watch. Scored one of the ATG WC team goals against Denmark.

Messi gonna collide with Harry Souttar now. Maybe we'll get the answer to the age old 'could he hack it against Stoke' question?

Messi will be having nightmares about Souttar all week. He won't have slept for five days ahead of the game.

It will be the end of one of the great careers. The spirit of Charlie Yankos will get us home.

Australia 4
Argentina 1

Then loads got big transfers after the world cup and most were crap. Liverpool wasted money on Spit the Diouf and another one who was even worse Salif Diao?

I think they actually signed Diouf before the WC began. Diao was the one who scored the Denmark goal, but he was pretty rubbish in England.

Pape Bouba Diop (RIP) didn't get a big move in 2002, but he rocked up at Fulham a couple of years later and absolutely dominated, could easily have played for a Champions League team. Pretty rare for clubs to underrate a World Cup star like that, usually they get transfers to clubs way above their level.

Wasn't the 2002 world cup a bit ****?

The redemption arc for Ronaldo was top but bar that not the best.

It was probably crap for people in Europe because a lot of their heavily favoured and chronically entitled sides didn’t do very well.

But for, you know, the rest of the actual world which doesn’t think it has property rights over the sport, it was a pretty entertaining watch.

Nah most people I know enjoyed it aside from the timezone, which is what it is

Definitely some questionable officiating mind you
