Its fair enough. England havent had to wait 32 years to make the world cup, you have a chance every 4 years...a lot of Australians have never seen their side at a world cup. To go out the way we did was heartbreaking. Im proud of how the Socceroo's played at the world cup just like all of Australia. There were 50/50 calls all the way through the match...its just you cant do anything about one that goes against you with 5 seconds left on the clock.
Croatia outplayed Australia??? Blow it out ya ass Manker.Quote:

Not at all, your opinion is just as valid as anyones. I certainly don't recall saying that Australians wouldn't know anything about puntsphere.Quote:

I can see how, from a partisan point of view, it would look like Australia dominated the game but I thought that had the Croatians had quicker strikers, they would have wrapped up the game shortly after half-time.
Admittedly, 'outplayed' may be a little strong but so were the rest of my points in that reply earlier - I was just trying to say that there wasn't some sort of conspiracy against teh Aussies.

Saying that Australia should of put them away before that.
Nothing more can be done or said to make things better until the asian cup (it would be nice to have any form of trophy in the cabinet)...Especially with the way the Asian teams have played at the world cup, we should have a very good chance to win it.
*sigh* Football is a cruel game.
*edit* Manker i wasn't talking about you with the Australia call, its just been a common issue with every forum i've read. Especially maxxed.
Yeah, I know you didn't say that the refs were against Australia, I was replying to Ad.
Btw, I just remembered you're a scouser so totally disregard my 'your opinion is just as valid as anyones' comment :P
Should never of let that cat out of the bag, should of kept that a secret in slsk.Quote:

Now Ghana are seeing how cruel football can be...if only they sloted in that 43rd minute chance.
Especially since you'd have been playing Ukraine in the quarters - who have looked absolutely rubbish in three out of their four games :pinch:Quote:
