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

  • 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.

    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
