Very disappointed about Scotland. Once again losing to a team we should beat.

Sounds like the normal English lament about soccer...

My optimistic Prediction.

2 Nil to Socceroos.

Kennedy gets first, Carney gets the second and we shut up shop.

The only difference is that no one expects us to do any good!

How true that is Still, if Scotland can produce a guy like Gordon Ramsay, it can't be all that bad can it?

gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll!!

1-0 Australia. Great start. Bit lucky in the first half in defense but rock solid in the second.
Could easily have been 2-0 with Bresciano missing a chance well in the clear one-on-one with the keeper right before half time.

True. It would be even better if he could score some goals for us!

We have some points now anyway. A 2-1 win over Iceland!

Scotland f*** up once again. 0-0 against Norway.

Socceroos doing a job and a half on Qatar

3-0 up after 70 mins

Timmy Cahill scored a cracker and Emerton has a brace one of which was a penalty and the other a superb first time shot across the keeper.

If you know my past arguements on this,you'll know what I'm talkking about.

FOR THE PROTECTION of AUSSIE RULES from STATE LEAGUES to GRASS ROOTS FOOTY.

Qatar were AWFUL.

That said, we did play well, and f*ck off Harry Kewell, Tim Cahill is the best footballer this nation has ever produced. He might play like a dirty little b*stard at Everton but he is fantastic for Australia.

Just Thought that i would revive this thread in preparation for Wednesday. Every one has been worried about the left side but with Kewell in good form and Carney backing him up we are going to be fine ... but with Emerton out .. it will be interesting to see who takes up the right side.

I think we'll probably play Wilkshire up there. Also I hope Pim doen't play Holman.... he's a junkyard dog.

Agreed on Holman. Terrible, terrible footballer. I hope Kennedy gets a game again - he's a seriously good player on top of being conveniently tall.

Do any of you football aficionados know if and hopefully when we get through the current Asian group, how many countries go through in all from Asia ? I mean I hope its more than 2 because we will be competing with the likes of Japan, South Korea and China.

[Royza]

The two group winners and the two group runners-up will qualify for the South Africa. The third-placed teams from each group will play a home-and-away play-off, with the winner advancing to the inter-confederation play-off with New Zealand.

[MH_Bomber]

So if we finish in the top 2 of this group we are through.

[Royza]

Correct. 5 Asian spots all up. If we don't make it, we suck.
