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

    Didnt see either of those guys play unfortunately.

    Just marvel at Cahill on the nod.

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
