So who watched the game this morning??

i feel somewhat dissapointed but at the same time relived with todays result.

The goal uruguay scored was against the run of play and their first real chance at a goal. to compound the pain more the free kick it was taken from was a shocker of a decision. Also the man at the back post should of had a body on him why he was that free is anyones guess!!!!!!!

anyway to put aside that disapointment we were extremely lucky not to let in another goal in the final 15 mins with the home side throwing everything at our goals.

and then theres the fact we had over 50% of the ball and were unable to get any real decent scoring opportunites.

but 1 - 0 away loss still has this qualifier evenly poised at 50/50 i reckon. another goal could have decided it already. no doubt uruguay will have 11 players behind the ball most of wednesday game but the home ground advantage is gonna be huge we will deffinately have enough chances if we are good enough!!!!!!!!

you know what I'm pissed about, not Australia losing their game, but the attitude of uruguayan people. sure, Australia is the opponent on the field, but doesn't give them right to treat our players like that. I reckon the rest of the world would feel the same way.. all people need is RESPECT, what is the point of throwing bottles and spitting on our players? what does that achieve??

for the world cup, I'll be behind my home country smile.gif (and its not Australia, but I sure hope they get in, they better laugh.gif)

yeah........ im more pissed about them losing though....

the bad behaviour was always going to happen. thats the south american way. we dealt with it well and had no effect on the game.

I didn't watch the game, but i saw the highlights on the news... pitty australia didn't win that match..

and as much as i want them to kick some ass i don't think they will be able to pull throught, two goals AT LEAST is just to much of an ask... i think they will probably win, but i dont think they will do it by two goals.

(that is the idea right, they have to WIN BY two goals?? I'm not a soccer person).

Not my type of game soccer but i hope australia wins. If we do isnt it the forst time we have been in since 1974? About 5 mates are going to Sydney tommorow to see the game. Thay should have a ball.

we can still win by 1 - 0 then jag a goal in extra time or even win on penelties.

Cahill, Bresciano to start. might as well throw alosi up forward as well. throw everything at em!!!!!!! expect kewell to be better then sundays effort now he has a full 90 minutes under his belt.

PaulHamonr
Is this good news?

how much did we win by?

We won the match 1-0 then (leaving it at 1-1 aggregate score over the two matches).
so it went to Extra Time (2x 15min halves) which ended scoreless.
Penalty Shootout to decide who progresses thru.. Australia scored 4 to Uruguay's 2 (their fifth shot wasn't taken as it was irrelevent).

Go u Aussies! more important than us actually attending the Football World Cup in '06 is the financial benefit of qualifying; both from a sponsorship point of view, but also for the automatic prizemoney for World Cup attendance from FIFA. this'll help local football imensely. Could be the major turning point needed for the sport in this country.

sure is, the world cup is every 4 years, so is euro cup, but thats offset by 2 years to the world cup smile.gif

forgot to mention, if it wasn't for our outstanding goal keeper, we would of not got through, he is a champ..
