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

    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.

    Atti Abonyi perhaps?

    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.

    Shyte! Extra time

  • Quote

    One of the best goals I can recall seeing... not the strike, but the effort to put it in that position. Astounding!!

    Really enjoy watching this Aussie team. The skill level when they have the ball individually is exceptional and exciting to watch. They look better than the so called golden gen.

    At least when they throw us out of the AFC we'll go out on top!!!

    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
