Hopefully Australia will win the cup! Who says we can't beat Japan and Croatia? Haha, wishful thinking but you gotta be on the Roos after 32 years of trying! Yeah, Brazil are looking good...

vino3o2 · 10-12-2005, 01:03 PM

We should take out Japan, but Croatia and Brazil??? hmmm...not likely, but you never know we just might kick all there ***** and win the world cup :thebirds:

CongoAU2 · 10-12-2005, 01:06 PM

There is a good chance of england winning there group which means they will more than likely play Poland in the next round so they can make it and win quite easily. they Are playing quite well at the moment.

CSV_LS1 · 10-12-2005, 01:44 PM

Great, looks like Italy has an easy group too. They have the strongest team they've had for many world cups.

Thunder · 10-12-2005, 02:19 PM

2006 is the year of the Kangaroo! In 6 months time we will come back to this thread and see who got it right.

MethodX · 10-12-2005, 02:32 PM

Italy has a TOUGH group and has to finish first in the group to avoid playing Brazil in the next round.

Forza Azzurri

Please not an England victory, we would never hear the end of it.

Italy are currently ranked outside the top 10 and are in a group with two teams currently ranked in the top 10 (US and Czechs). I don't think they are gonna have it easy.

Fifa ranking dont always mean that much particually at the world cup. Czechs are good but US are NOT in Italys league. Id be very suprised if they can score through Italys defence and keeper as easy as they have with some nations they quilified against.

Thunder being a newbie good 'ol Flappist was taking the **** on some other posts :togo:

Yep we weren't meant to get past Uruguay by many ppl and we did.
Never know your luck, if we keep the standard of play there's a good chance against Japan and the Croats.

As for the comment about Italy having are hard draw thats a bit overstated !

Good luck fellas with your preparation it will be a pleasure just to see Us on the world stage of Football.

LMAO, thats what I was thinking.

Bring it on. I don't think the pool is that bad, and should produce some great football

What a waste of time making it to the world cup, of the greatest game on earth, if only to play the "easiest" teams...

ED Classic · 10-12-2005, 04:11 PM

Australia are capable of beating Japan. They are capable of beating Croatia but if they can draw with Brazil a draw with Croatia might be good enough. On the day we could easily draw with Brazil with the slightest of luck. We dont have a bad record against them. It is silly for people to underate Australia too much. Uruguay is a very good team that we beat {drew with in 180 mins} and with Craig Moore back to help defence and with Viduka and Kewell at their best it wont all be one way as some may think.

Italy doesnt have an easy draw but they have a bloody good team this time around capable of beating anyone. They have always had the best defence but lacked the right combination mid-front, though this time they have plenty of young blood there. In the last World Cup everyone spoke of Argentina and France and forgot about Brazil. Could it be Italy,Argentina and Netherlands everyones forgetting?

the more i look at the group, the more i think we can progress.
We can beat Japan, we *can* beat Croatia aswell.
with a bit of luck we could get 6 points, but i feel us and Croatia are pretty even.

Maybe im just being too optimistic, but i can see a round of 16 matchup against either the Italians or the Czechs.

Lets hope that the same happens to the poms. Or at least they get done in the rounds that count. Nothing I love more than to see a pommie crying into a pot of his favourite lager. We have enough of those idiots at work to last a life time.

Making it to the World cup is no easy feat in it's self. Have to give the Aussies some credit for getting this far. And as for the pool matches, the top 2 teams from each pool go through. So Australia have a 50% chance of advancing.

So while I don't give a toss for wog ball, I will support my country. I would love to see them do well. Anyway, when it's all over we can all go back to watching sports that matter.

Fletty's EL · 11-12-2005, 01:27 AM

Come on Australia! Get behind your team. We are coming to conquer all...
Just ****ed off we didn't get the US in our group so we can show them who is the weakest team in the world cup.

Valknutr · 11-12-2005, 01:33 AM

england seem to have the 'chokers' tag in my book, everytime they play they should play well but i havent been seeing it. Remember last world cup?? and our 3-1 victory?
We can beat the Japs (we did in the war, but this is more important

: ) croatia will be on the level of uruguay, brazil may be a challenge unless they underestimate us, which people tend to do.
I will be cheering my team on in every game, albeit from the couch, but still cheering none the less.
CMON AUSSIE!!!!!!!!!

Actually neither team won as it was a 1-1 draw after the two games. The penalty shootout is a lottery used to decide which country qualifies for the World Cup.

Aerial Ping Pong suits the Nancy boy,anything goes in that game pity it spread out of Mexico.

As for a sport that matters only a couple billion will be watching the biggest world cup of any sport so I suppose that doesn't count compared to Nancy boys trying to control an egg

The minority follow Soccer in this country. And most of them were in Cronulla over the weekend. Only has about 2% following in this country. The rest of society couldn't care much for one of the most boring games in the world. The only entertainment factor in the game is when flares go off in the crowd, or the poppy supporters start bashing people cause their team just got knocked out.

World Game indeed, pffttttt, my left testicle. Certainly not in this country

I'll watch to support the Aussies. But when it's finished, Soccer? World Cup? Bring on the AFL. So

I wouldn't boast about ping pong either in the big scheme of things

The only entertainment factor in the game is when flares go off in the crowd, or the poppy supporters start bashing people cause their team just got knocked out.

oh and ping pong is innocent ? come on !

World Game indeed, pffttttt, my left testicle. Certainly not in this country

Absolutely how many countrys play left testicle ping pong ? :voldar02:

The Nancy's game
