Haha I knew he reminded me of someone

We really just lack some class midfielders that can push forward

Socceroos were soooooo unlucky. Agree with ang that if we got that deserved second goal the Chileans would have gone to pieces. Really proud of the boys. Nothing went our way and we can match it with anyone.

That game was a lot closer then the scoreline suggested. It was a pretty good game to watch too.
Chile had no real answer for the aerial ball into Cahill. Leckie was our best. Bresciano and Davidson were really good too.
After the first 20 minutes we settled and played some pretty good football. Just positivity and self-belief after we scored I think. A pity we couldn't grab a second because I think with momentum we would have snatched a winner too.
Netherlands surprised me with how well they went and alternatively Spain were very disappointing.

Ivory Coast start Drogba on the bench, the moment he comes on some spaces magically open up for his team mates and they score 2 goals in quick succession. Really enjoyable game though, so far the tournament has delivered. Argentina on tomorrow morning, it will be awesome to get a look at them.

Agreed, lol at England. Only England could have their trainer stretchered off. Pirlo was a bees dick away from goal of the tournament there.

The only way I can see us making the next round is for us to win our next two games

And I'm not sure how likely that may be

My fearless WC Predictions

Winners: Argentina
Dark Horse: Uruguay
Flops: Holland
Top Scorer: Aguero
Player of the tournament: Sweinsteiger
Young player of the tournament: Barkley

AUSTRALIA
Points taken: 1 (vs Holland)
Goals scored: 2
Best player: Jedinak

okay, my dark horses got thrashed by a minnow, my flops belted a heavyweight, my player of the tournament gets injured and my top scorer comes up with a goose egg in his opening game. Safe to say I'm not doing so well with some of these calls.

PORTUGAL SOON!!!!!!

 

[happy_tiger]

PORTUGAL SOON!!!!!!

Soon boarding an airplane back to Portugal if they play like they did this morning

And what about Pepe Le Pew's headbutt ?? :roll

That was more like a Man Utd smooch , not a Liverpool Kiss

If your going to get sent off , make it count :wink:

 

[Marshall_magic]

Mueller didn't know whether to milk that head butt of get in Pepe's face, brilliant.

Oh please. What about the theatrics from the Germans all game. Referees need to take part in an acting course to understand the subtleties of what takes place before being allowed to administer games at world cup level. Its a joke really.

Not the first game ruined by bad refereeing in the tournament thus far either. Recall Croatia Brazil?

The point I was making that you let the refs sort it out and not cost your team any chance by getting sent off when you already 2-0 down

Portugal were screwed by bad calls , but they seemed to lack passion and conviction for a team playing against a very good side from the start

Can't argue with that - still hate it when refereeing decisions help decide good games. Portugal not receiving a penalty in the 2nd half too was a little :crazy but yeah, Pepe really should not have did what he did despite the German theatrics.

 

[happy_tiger]

Actually at first I thought the German had a right to go down as I thought he may have got accidentally poked in the eye

But then you see him holding his nose and mouth LOL ,what a joke

 

[happy_tiger]

Now its time for the Aussies to lift for the Dutch

3.5 hours to go

 

[Illek]

Cahill is immense at the international level. I can't think of a player world wide who can lift his game so much when representing his country!
