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

Edited by Earl Hood

 

Tim Cahill you beauty! Number 2! Is there a better player in the air than him in world football? I doubt it.

He's brilliant

 

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

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

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

Urich! We are up 15 minutes to go.

Winners

are grinners


and here it is ...

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: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
