Lol yah. Good luck when you guys play Brazil. Viduka has been playing great over here this season though, and Harry Kewell has been a bit better recenty, when he isn't "injured".

Hopefully, this time around, there wont be a cocaine fuelled midget there to cheat us out of the win:



Lol.. Look at Shilton about two inches off the ground. I was 9 years old when I watched that. I cried.

The strong point in poker is never to lose your temper, either with those you are playing with or, more particularly, with the cards. There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips.

well, after watching Australia vs Netherlands last night I am tempted to try and change my vote.

Our fitness was lacking
Our passing lacked direction
Our discipline was lacking

However the service of the ball to VIduka and Aloisi was mostly good when the passes were on target and we showed good character in the second half, especially not going down more goals after the send off 10 minutes into the half.

I think if we can play like that through the entire cup campaign we actually will have a shot at the quaters at least, but I don't think it would be possible to be that focused and play above our typical level for so long against so many better opponents.

Overall after that match, heart says Australia, head says Germany and if australia happen to play germany I'd kill myself if I went for germany

noone

itll get cancelled when george bush sends the troops in to arrest the iranian team for breaching nuclear proliferation rules :P

In reality, the brazilians are the team to beat. However, somone like itlay/argentina vs brazil and brazil out wud really open the whole competition up for the likes of England/italy/portugal perhaps even mexico the U.S and others.
Dont rule out the portugese either if ronaldo turns up.

Argentina seem like the best team so far, and Holland looked pretty good. I'll be watching Japan vs the Aussies tonight. GL to the socceroos.
