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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
