Congrats to Harry Kewell!! Liverpool fans know what i mean!!

But what the heck was Mr Poll doing?? :

2 penalty misses
3 yellow cards to one guy
2 red cards to one guy
1 yellow card to the wrong person
sent off a player for nothing!

Well done to Australia for making it through!

COME ON BRAZIL!

 

when can I have her Cheek? haha

 

Good god! Did anyone just hear the smack of my jaw hitting the floor?

 

LOL yup the ref lost the plot, not sure why Australia were gifted that first penalty but hey all's fair in love and war.

So it's on to meet Italy on Monday morning, that will be a real challenge for Australia. Fingers crossed, you never know we might get a cranky ref again

 

Aussie can beat Italy.. italy are just a bunch of old men like france.. hudink likes to play fast football and Australia is going to miss him when he leaves!

 

I hope you are right Zimbo, mainly because this is the first time since I have lived here that Australia have paid any attention to football. I've been trying to tell them for years that they are missing out on the real game of football. Prior to now they thought football and or footy were played with a pear shaped ball - Let's hope this alters their perception

 

Personally, i think it will be a close match. As for the *bit of stuff*, wow!

 

Cheek - what have I told you about posting pics of my wife ?

Come on the Roos

 

Sorry Gav, im just obessed by her sheer beauty! No woman can compete with her.... ...but there is D, but D is different! and thats cuz D is just an Angel

 

ooooooooooooooooooo

 

We (Italy) will crush you (Australia). No ifs, buts, or ands. Just wait and see.

We may lack pace, but we have an impenetrable defence, and can counter attack splendidly. We have players with far more experience than the Socceroos can ever hope to have, coupled with young strikers that add what the older defence may lack in.

Prepare to die a slow and agonizing death. (Naw, we'll make it swift and final.)

 

omni you italiano?

 

all i will say about Italy is, watch out for the match fixing

Would love to see the Aussie's do well.

As for England's chances, well after sunday's game that chance will be gone

 

well lets say they reach the semi's and they'll end up with brazil there...

 

Half. But I've lived most my life there, so I always just say that I'm Italian.

 

I saw the highlights to this game and I think this will be Mr Poll's last international gig.

 

Well ok , Mr Poll messed up somewhat, but is there not 2 linesmen plus a 4th and 5th officials. Now none of you know this but i used to be a ref, not on the scale like the world cup refs but all the same pretty hard to do. Tho i was quite good with the players who swore at me, id book them and basically not hear a peep out of them through the rest of the game .

As for blues comment about Harry Kewell,i know the qualities he has, and i really want him to do the stuff for us, but i really think hes just at liverpool for the money. The last season hes started playing a bit , but nowhere near his leeds days which is the Harry i want. I seen him play for Aus the other night and he played like a different person.

If Italy play well and they beat Oz then I would say that is fair enough. I have always admired the Italian team and I will be looking forward to see them play on Monday. I haven't seen them for a long while as almost no international football is aired free TV here.

The Zimmers will hopefully hamper their attacks and give Australia a fighting chance

 

Ah well I expect Australia to be doing most of the attacking. That's what Italy does, they let the other team attack and then (try to) catch them by counter attacking, unlike most of the other teams who have a driving attack. It irritates me at times, but it seems to work for them.
