Tim Cahill you champion!!! Have you ever seen a better goal? What a goal. Can we sign him up for next year?

At least minnows like Italy and Holland will have a chance to show their wares on the world stage.

Fantastic atmosphere at the stadium... great game. France full of individual brilliance but we played as the better team perhaps. We have avoided the opening round thrashing of the last two

Tim Cahill you beauty! Number 2! Is there a better player in the air than him in world football? I doubt it.

Best player to done the green and gold?

Charlie Yankos might disagree with that.

But all the same,TV has made us love Timmy for the better.His goals for the national team have been terrific and last night certainly was worth watching.

I'd put him at or close to the top ... big occasion player as well.

ESPN FC Press Pass featured the 2 goals on their show tonight ... 1st goal & 2nd goal

Disappointing we couldn't score at least ... still, it's not a disaster.

We're now going to have to defeat China to make the semi's (where we'll probably have to face Japan) Ironically, Japan would probably not be very happy with their potential match-up in the semi final

Lots of possession tonight but we didn't create enough real chances.

Guess what, looks like we've avoided Japan altogether

Yeah, Japan going out the way they did was the shock of the tournament ... their coach may be removed as a consequence.

Golden opportunity for the Aussies - I reckon we'll go on and win it now.

In other news ... from the 'Mirror' ...

Chelsea 2-4 Bradford: Blues crash out of FA Cup as Bantams run riot at Stamford Bridge ... highlights

Manchester City 0-2 Middlesbrough match report: FA Cup shock as Premier League champions dumped out ... highlights

Spurs also crashed out whilst Liverpool could only draw.

Didnt see either of those guys play unfortunately.

Just marvel at Cahill on the nod.

Charlie Yankos used too knock off work early{4.00}and head to the ground to play an international.

He reckoned all players should have a full time job.

He also kicked the living daylights out of anybody getting into our defensive box.

In the dictionary under the word patriotism is a picture of the Charlie Yankos and his left boot.

Luongo!!! 1 0 Australia

Very lucky to be leading though... S Korea have had a few very near misses and most of the play. Perfect timing though, going into half time with the lead.

A top strike too ... it might open up at the back now (or in the last half of the 2nd half)

Yes as I said to the wife at half time that sums up soccer, totally outplayed but one lucky strike and we are in front. In AFL we would be 6 goals down easy.

Got Foxtel connected the other week and gotta say I'm loving the amount of football, and all in HD. It's like being at the game.

But it seems Fox only has rights to the EPL, La Liga and UEFA on ESPN. What about Serie A, the Bundesliga and the South American leagues?

I miss the old days when SBS on a Sunday was basically soccer all day, and you pretty much saw every single goal that was kicked around the world during the week.

Edit: Turns out Fox does have those other leagues (German, French, Italian, Argentinian and Brazillian) - the beIN sports channel apparently.

Re-Edit: Turns out I don't get the beIN channel, even though I have the sports package! WTF?!?!

If you want to watch something different in soccer, one of your cousins just started in the Under 9's.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
