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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
