Any good this game? I missed it as I realised I hadn't seen people since the football began. Needed to go out for big din dins.
Both sides are attacking. Only one goal though.

[Rude_Bitch_420]

That goal was truly a thing of beauty. Hooray for Nederland! They're the #2 team I'm cheering for, being hal-Dutch and all. ^_^

Just saw the first USA goal from yesterday. Lol at the keeper ducking away from the ball

Yeah, but those guys can kick hard and at such short range the ball is almost a weapon. I heard that in that specific instance it was traveling at 117 km/h. I'd duck at less than half that speed.

That's why you're not an International goalkeeper .

[Rinceoir]

I'd duck too. In fact I was afraid of defending when I was smaller because a strong shot in my face would destroy my dashing good looks. But he's a professional, he shouldn't cower behind the post.

I'd instinctively throw my hands up to protect my face, conveniently saving the shot while I'm at it! And goalkeepers should be prepared to put their body on the line!

[BRAD MONTGOMERY]

That's why you're not an International goalkeeper .

Exactly! That and being slow and overweight and having the reflexes of a dead horse.

I agree with the being prepared to put your body on the line part, but it all happened very fast and the reaction was probably instinctive. I don't blame him, though I do wish he would've done what you say you would.

To the glue factory with this one.

AAAAAAAGH flashbacks! I just saw Harry Kewell!!

[JD FROM HELL]

(Yawn) just woken up after falling asleep in the middle of Netherlands-Japan.

[Brιonα Renae]

Wow, Australia are a new team. Scored AND should have had a penalty before that.
And Bresciano was involved, so I have a Leeds interest!

[Eddie Howe]

Yeah I can believe the Aussies are winning after that good hiding that Germans gave them.

[abi]

Bye bye traitor Kewell :rofl:

[Ells]

Bye bye traitor Kewell :rofl:

:laugh: mustn't laugh, mustn't

[Stephanie Kemp]

That red card was totally valid....i dont care what the commentors say, it hit his arm on the goal line....that is instant red. :shrug:

unfortunate yes....but thats the rule. I just hope australia can still pull back from this

[Jade Muggeridge]

I'm kind of hoping the Aussies pull through and win. They're the only team in the group without a victory.

[Travis]

Nup....there goes Australia's chance at getting out of the group stage.

[Amber Ably]

Nup....there goes Australia's chance at getting out of the group stage.

But didn't you want to say Pantsil on the ground all the way through the match?

You haven't played football until you've thrown yourself at a shot from the oppositions best player on a freezing cold Sunday morning and take a stinger to the thigh

[Red Bevinz]

Why is it always the inside of the thigh? :cryvaultboy:

[Khamaji Taylor]

I always copt it in stomach or goolies :blink:

[Dorian Cozens]

Well we need a mircle....need one of three situations to happen.

Australia must win their game agiant Serbia

and
--------------------
Germany must lose to Ghana
or
Germany must absolutely smash Ghana
and/or
Australia must absolutely smash Serbia


If the Germany v Ghana match is a low scroing match or a draw....we are out. Yes, I admit that there is little chance of us getting through now. Best hope is that Germany have another brainfart and lose to Ghana...which after watching Ghana tonight, doesnt seem possible.

[Ladymorphine]

I always copt it in stomach or goolies :blink:

You must be generously endowed in both departments.

I think if you win 3-0 or better then Australia will go through

[Tamika Jett]

I think if you win 3-0 or better then Australia will go through

More chance of that than of England beating Slovenia.

If we line up with a 4-4-2 with Heskey as a target man I'll go [censored] mental!?!?! :shocking:

That link as well, he played well last night against England but I haven't seen alot of him. Wouldn't say no to a squad player for ￡4 million though, can't be worse than Silvestre.

Whatcha think th3undon3on3?

[Victoria Vasileva]

I think if you win 3-0 or better then Australia will go through

umm....our goal difference is -4, Ghana have +1 ...so we need a combination of 5 if Germany is to win. Eg, we win 2-0, Germany wins 3-0 will put us even with Ghana.

But the Germany match cannot be a draw, if that happens then our match doesnt matter for us, no matter how high we score.

[casey macmillan]

If we line up with a 4-4-2 with Heskey as a target man I'll go [censored] mental!?!?! :shocking:

Thats two of us then Heskey is a total waste of space I could do better than him after an all day drinking session
