Funnily enough I played indoor football against a team wearing mackem shirts. I walked into the gym wearing my toon shirt and the look on the face was golden. They must have been mackems because I only know of about 1 mackem in Australia. Surprisingly it was the birds who tried to kick the shit out of me. They are feisty lasses. On a side note I took great satisfaction in scoring the winner. Guess what my celebration was? It was the only time I've ever celebrated a goal in indoor but i wasn't goipng to miss this opportunity...

Looking at the table and the state of us and Boro at the moment it's possible. "Top Dog" is going to have a different meaning this year...

Fifa is ok in moderation. By moderation I mean, played once on a giant tv screen at a mate's place. Let the glitzy glamour of it overawe you. Then by the time the match is finished you realise how shit it is and it's back to Tyneside v South East London Reds.

I have concluded that our defence will be ripped to shreads. There'd be more pace shown in a wax museum.

That's the real Sydney...

Any chance the Swiss will be kicked out of the WC if it's found they started it? To be honest I can't imagine Swiss being aggressive at all. Being neutral pansies might have something to do with that....

Everything fell our way. Long may it continue. You can give us shit for being football nobodies all you like, and I'll agree. Our greatest achievment is a 0-0 with Chile at the WC 30 years ago. But the sheer joy of that moment, having been there at that infamous choke against Iran, is something that will stay with me and many others forever. Did I mention it was also my b'day. What a present.

Winning penalty from the crowd... .....

You obviously haven't seen Harry Kewell recently

FUCK then. I'm used to censor I must say, it feels FUCKING good to win a shootout

F*CK YES

With these IR changes, all it will take is a spark and the revolution will start. I've seriously never seen Australians so united against something. Anger is brewing and Gerbil Howard must be cacking his dacks.

And you still lost 56070[/snapback] But that was a given.

That was possibly the most spirited Australian performance I have ever seen. I'd like to see how the English primma donnas perform in the centenario

What about Jamaica or Scotland? Iraq? Indonesia? It speaks volumes that Australia's greatest football achievment to date is a 0-0 with Chile at the '74 World Cup.... and beating a shit England team 3-1.

No one here cares tbh. Apart from Wellsy 54377[/snapback] If only we were playing England! We would have it in the bag with 3 away goals. Let me remind you the last time we met; Guus Hiddink > Sven Goran Eriksson I mean why would you keep picking Jenas? Where is Scotty Parker? 54391[/snapback] Forgive me if I console myself over a friendly match loss with an Ashes win and the rugby World Cup final in Sydney. 54401[/snapback] You could also console yourself with the fact we've beaten other world renowned opposition such as France, Brazil and Hungary in meaningless matches.

Not making excuses, quite the opposite actually. We have so many advantages to make it this time it's not even funny. Whether we take advantage of these advantages is debatable. I doubt it but I've been burnt by the socceroos plenty of times before, so I could be cynical. But I'm sure Steve believes we'll win, and in Steve I trust

People will care when Australia beat England 4-3 in the quarter finals And when that happens you can all think, if only Uruguay weren't pussy little whinging poofters and actually worried about playing football. Because if they did focus, i've no doubt they'll beat us. (I know nobody cares, I"m just posting this garbage to amuse myself)

Why not, instead of committing yourself to the unknown, just travel to Sydney and test the waters? Given the fact he's probably moved on and used about 50 other girls like you since, I would say it's a gamble not worth taking.

Now it appears the corrupt organisation known as the federation of international fraud association will bend over backwards to help their south american bed buddies, and move the kick off time again, in the name of "fair play". Conveniantly forgetting Uruguay first moved the match in a failed attempt to screw us around. It's like the kid at school crying to the teachers whenever he gets picked on.

Remember that Australia direct WC spot thread? I can see this amazing one go that way. You love that tumbleweed hey alex. 54057[/snapback] Get Blaydon here now! 54059[/snapback] Please don't. For what it's worth I don't believe we deserved an automatic spot for defeating the Soloman Islands. It's all irrelevant anyway, next time we'll be in Asia and at the WC instead of Saudi Arabia or China. And I can't see us beating Uruguay.

Probably, although any jets the RAAF own are likely to crash into their hotel, and i want to see a football match. After the shinanigans over in Montevideo four years ago they deserve what they get. Apart from jet fighters colliding with their hotel.

Funny lot they are. First they change the kick off time for the first leg of the World Cup qualifier against us to 9pm local, so we would have to catch a flight the next day and only get back to Sydney the day before the 2nd leg. Apparantly they had a chartered flight organised to leave straight after the match. Funny for two reasons. Obviously they don't do their research. The main sponsor of the FFA is.... Qantas. Who have organised a FREE charter to leave 3 hours after the first leg and arrive in Sydney early on Monday, about 60 hours before the 2nd leg. The second reason it's funny is... Uruguay's charter has fallen through, as they couldn't afford the $800,000 (and have blamed this on an Australian-American conspiracy). So it is them who will have to take a flight that stops in 4 different cities, takes 36 hours and arrives in Sydney a little over 24 hours before the 2nd leg. Now our friendly South Americans are sooking to Fifa because we will not agree to bring the match foward 4 hours so they can catch an earlier flight. Stiff sh*t I say. Fools

I lost in a penalty shootout in the WC semis. The commentator slips out this classic: "That's a bitter blow to swallow". Seriously are the programmers having a laugh? So much sexual innuendo in Pro Evo.
