Yeah i got up and watched it, was really painful and we played terrible as well even with ten players, still don't know why Harry Kewell didn't play
Super1302 ·
they were a bit slow too at getting the ball forward, i think they needed to read the play, germans had it down pat!

hard slog 4 sure

Its bullshit. 4-0. Shouldv put in 1 at least wouldv been less painfull.
I know what was really painfull! Sitting in darling harbour from 11pm to 5am in the icey cold breeze
but i love soccer so its worth it! 🤪🤪

There was more on the side of the hand ball / penalty by the Germans than the send off of Cahill

No centres on the Australian left side Muller killed us if it wasn't for Swarzer it would have been 7 nil, play the w m formation next game and we will kill Ghana

4-0 was painful to watch.
Why wasn't Kewel on the field?? what's the coach waiting for especially when Cahill was sent off?
We need the socceroo's to defeat Ghana

Didn't watch the soccer - don't really care.
We beat England in the rugby but our scrum was shite. We play England again this Saturday in Sydney - go the Wallabies !

You can't slag off the players, half of them are playing in some of the top leagues on the planet, they were just not in the right positions and didn't know how to cope where they were. The fault must lie with the coach for putting them in that situation. I mean Lucas Neil is a defender but had to get forward because nobody else knew what to do. I think Pim Verbeek (is that how you spell it?) had them playing 4-2-3-1 or was it 4-3-2-1, how are you supposed to win with only one striker. What's wrong with 4-4-2 or 4-3-3? Shwarzer admitted he was in the wrong for one goal but what about the other three? I had to watch it after 2 hours sleep after watching Argentina win over Nigeria but the day before watched England draw with USA, I coach an U15 team and would really get up our goalkeeper if he stuffed up like Green. Enough said.

what a terrible ref though.
like seriously.Germany was good,but i still thought that aus could have at least
put one in the bag.

Maybe Kewel is still not 100% fit and the coach was saving him for Ghana,and yes that constant buzzing noise is very off putting 👎

* Before he got into football, Robert Green was a bus driver. But he got fired because he couldn't make any stops.
* Why is Robert Green like ITV HD? They both switch off at the crucial moment.
* Yesterday at London Zoo one of the staff let a a Central American monkey slip out of his grasp. So Robert Green's not the only English keeper to drop a Howler.
* What does Robert Green do after winning the World Cup? Drops his controller.
* Robert Green has just been refused a Savings Account in his Local Bank
* At least that's one British spillage the Americans won't be moaning about...
* All these Rob Green jokes are getting out of hand...In fact they're crossing the line
* Kermit was right: It's not easy being Green.
* The England lads had a get-together after the game and bought Robert Green a drink to commiserate. He spilled it.
* Steven Gerrard said: "The whole team is behind Rob Green." With hindsight, that's a good place to stand.
* My computer's got the Robert Green virus. It can't save anything.
* The England team went to a local orphanage today. "It's nice to put a smile on the faces of people with no hope and who are constantly struggling" said Jamal Umboto aged 6
* All future England matches have been moved to the gay adult channel. Apparently the sight of 11 arses getting hammered frequently for 90mins was far too explicit for ITV!
* I can't believe we only managed a draw against a shit team like that .......I'm ashamed to call myself Algerian!
* Oxo are bringing out a new cube with white foil and a red cross, its going to be called laughing stock
* Fifa have released a statement saying the fan didnt break into the dressing room after all but was let in by Rob Green
* Did anyone catch the England score last night as I missed it. By accident, I watched the Sunshine Variety Club England Spastic Team playing a friendly against Algeria.
* Breaking News - All 23 members of England's World Cup Squad have been diagnosed as Autistic.
Well, It would explain why all they do is fucking draw.
* EXPERIENCE playing alongside Emile Heskey by kicking a football at your wheelie bin
* I heard that guy on death row in Utah got to choose his own firing squad! He choose Heskey, Rooney, Lampard & Gerrard
* I was just playing as England on FIFA World Cup 2010 on the PS3 and was shocked at how realistic it is... Then I realised I'd accidentally turned my controller off.
* I wouldn't worry too much about Heskey playing for England again in the World Cup. He's got doubles Tennis at Wimbledon with his brother Serena this week.
* A TV pundit just said Wayne Rooney needs to stand in front of a mirror and have a right good look at himself. For god sake we're supposed to be trying to build his confidence..
* A paedophile in an old peoples home would have more success than England
* I went to a brothel last night wanting something a bit kinky so I said to the woman 'How much would it cost to be totally humiliated?'
“£37.50” - She said. I couldn't believe it was that cheap! 'What do I get for that?' I asked. I wasn't too impressed with the reply of 'A replica English shirt'

what world cup? oh, that one.... yeah whatever 🙅

Love the jokes Bizarre and will probably use a lot of them myself but on an Australian website with the aussies doing so well(!) is probably not the most sensible idea.........now on the other hand if we were Kiwi veedubbers it would be alright😀

Kewell was banned from this match because of something he did in the last one, that was the last i heard. Don't quote me on it though, 'cause I am really NOT that well informed. 🙂

I am living dangerously at the moment
Either jumping with joy IF we beat Serbia AND Ghana does Germany - and stranger things have happened
or
Hiding under a rock
Still - plenty of experience having been to Queensland to watch NSW get smashed in the State of Origin

Hey Bizarre, I reckon the Yanks will go a lot further than anyone expects but you're right look at the upsets so far.

Go the Roo's!!!
(and Ghana)😁
Early start for me, hopefully the ref doesn't give us any more reds!!

what time is it on tv?
Bizarre ·
4.30
Both games
Aust / Serbia and Germany / Ghana
If some how Aust and Ghana win - we get to go through 😵💫
My english mate in Melb called me to say he would be calling at 6.35 to
1) congratulate me
2) give me the bollocking from hell
colonel mustard ·
Ah!!! why have them on at the same time.... or is that one after the other...
Come on Germany!!
ancientbugger ·
The funny thing is last night I was watching the France v South Africa on SBS1 then flicking over to watch Chile v Mexico (I think?) on SBS2 but with those bloody horns they're blowing continuously the picture changed but the sound just continued on as if the channel hadn't.🤪

my friends set up a filter to block out the sound of the vuvuzela's.

A very good effort. Shame about the first game.

Pim still has to answer for what we did against Germany
That plan obviously didnt work and was our downfall
Oh - well 😢
ancientbugger ·
They played the way they should have been allowed to play at the start. Great effort, at least they can come home with some pride.......Glad we're not Frenchveedubbers😁 Now we have England through and the USA and I believe the Kiwis as well, if we could get rid of the Argentinians it would be a perfect World Cup. It was my 24th wedding anniversary on Monday, 24 years ago on Tuesday half way to my honeymoon on a cross channel ferry watched that drug taking cheat Maradonna put England out with his handball and have never forgotten!!!! What grudge!😬
Flintstones ·
Such a bitter sweet victory for the Roos.....
and those refs issuing out the red cards in the first 2 games.
I'm sure the result would have been much different if we had 11 players on the field.
The coach still was responsible to some degree......bring on 2014
well, at least I'll be able to catch up on some sleep😁
HappyDaze ·
Can't be bothered watching soccer anymore. The rules need to be changed to allow higher scores, i.e. MORE GOALS!
All it needs is a simple rule change. My idea would be to NOT allow the goalie to touch the ball with his hands during play, just like the other players. This would, I'm sure, allow much higher scores and reduce the tension in the game - and in the spectator area. Look at AFL and how frequently they score. If soccer had big numbers in the scores, it would reduce the importance of just one goal! ........My 2c worth😁
Cheers, Greg

It is interesting that hockey did away with the offside rule
Scores in footsal or 6 a side summer stuff on small fileds with no offside is always higher
Its played WAY too fast for me though 😂
ancientbugger ·
If they did away with the offside rule all you'd have is opposing forwards goalhanging ,waiting for a ball to be kicked up the field! This World Cup has proved that with the Refs not favouring big name teams i.e. Italy,like they did last time and just being fair (or as fair as they see it), you do get the better playing teams like the US getting through and teams like France and Italy having to rely on playing well or else getting kicked out. In my opinion this is a great World Cup even though Englands manager seems to be trying to bugger them up, I mean what's the idea of keeping Crouch out of the games when you need him forward to get the balls into the net. I know Defoe scored their last goal but he's about 5ft tall! He's never going to get the high balls is he, and where was Lennon the last game? He is one of the most skillful and fast players in the Premier League AND he took off Rooney! The highest scoring player (other than Drogba) in the EPL! How does he expect to get goals? I reckon the national coach should be a national. Harry Redknapp for England and maybe Craig Foster for Australia, don't know how he'd go but can't be worse than Pim Verbeek!
ancientbugger ·
After putting the above and watching the England v Germany match I confirm what I was saying. Capello should be linched. He brought on Heskey WITHOUT his wheelchair. Crouch and Lennon still sitting on the bench and then you hear that Capello wants reassurances from the FA that he'll keep his job....does this bloke live on a different planet, did he even watch the game, has he taken his tablets today???? BTW I'm angry so nobody come up to Noosa in the next day or so and hope for a nice welcome to a certain resort 'cos you wont get it😬
