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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
