Now we have even beaten them in soccer there is nothing left.

The heathen English.

Watched it too, good game.

australian soccer team beat the english one 3-1

HAH! one of my mates is a brit, he is so seething with rage

:thumbsup

I'm British (Scottish)

And i'm delighted...

3 - 1 :1orglaugh


:thumbsup

OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE :thumbsup

was pathetic by the first 11..second half crew atleast were trying

oi mate it was just a friendly

it was the first and last time you beat us, that's more embarrising that being beaten by the scottish. At least i think so, it's hard to remember that far back :moon

It's supposed to be pome ... prisoner of mother england.

It's an Australian joke that dates back a couple of hundred years.

See, the English sent their criminals to Australia to get a tan and hit the beaches :1orglaugh

yeah and then there is the lot they sent to Georgia

cricket, tennis, rugby..

we have to give you guys something when we're not lending you kewell, viduka et al :)

mothers, water pills

November 2002, Twickenham, Rugby Union, England 32 Aus 31

jeez he's copping shit for that here.
personally I don't give a rats ass - cricket is like watching paint dry and Warne is a perpetual discrace machine. I wouldn't even know his name if he didn't fuck up all the time and make headlines.

even if he mom did give them to him blaming her in public was a real class act.

I'm not much of a cricket fan either but it is hard not to know that story.

Yeah it was an exciting game to watch.

I was stunned though when I heard on Danish TV that Oceania is now GUARANTEED a spot at the 2006 WorldCup?!?!?

What the fuck?!?!?

That's a sure place for Australia at EVERY World Cup.
What a disgrace.
Sepp Blatter's FIFA is soooo corrupt it's a joke.

Australia will be competing against the Solomon Islands etc for that one spot. You think you can handle those mighty football powers? You might as well play 2 matches against New Zealand and get it over with fast.

Why on earth don't you play qualifiers against the Asian countries?

You played well against England though and deserved the win :)

yeah it's lame.. it's also front page news here.. it's fucked. I know the name "wayne carey" only because of the insane media coverage of him cheating on his wife... like i give a fuck. i think he was AFL or something.. who cares. this shit shouldn't be national news. yeah blaiming it on "mum" is lame.

actually this isn't true.. we've had our ass handed to us by some of these countries. new zealand too.. we're not that big on soccer here.. at all. probably even less than basketball. we only hear about it at world cup.

Soccer? Is it like golf? Give a shit about either!!




Let's talk rugby, what sport can combine, football, soccer, and hockey!! Love it!!

It's 3:00 am, I wake up to find fucking Aussies beat us at football. Shite Shite Shite. We must have played like turds. Fucking overpaid lame shitearse lazy footballers.

That's because the winner of Oceania (always Australia) would fight against a team from South America or Asia for one spot.
Last time you lost to Uruguay, and for the France world cup you lost to to Iran.

But you always win the Oceania group.

But the World Cup is fucked anyway - shitty referees and shitty countries.
It's more difficult to win the European Cup than the World Cup.

Bump! :thumbsup

As a pom living in Sydney, it's a shit result. I won't be able to leave the house now!!

These last few months, the only way I have survived taunts about the cricket is to say that at least we are better than you at football.

It's all fucking Sven's fault, he didn't put together a decent side. David Seaman wouldn't have let any goals in!

yeah not at all the fault of the millionares that weren't motivated to play.

*cough* slave race *cough*

:thumbsup

mate...Put the crack pipe down

Soccer is the biggest sport even here in australia,
it's just not being shown on the main channels as much
since (sofar) australia has sucked at it !
that'll all change come 2006

Germany2006 here we come ! !
and btw i'll be there watching it all just like i was
in Japan2002 :thumbsup

I was shocked when I saw the result, they are a second rate football side and they came half way round the world to beat us. :(

yeah rugby is good, it's like american football only it's for men j/k, how is rugby like hockey though?

I still think its funny that we beat them at soccer

England is not a top10 football country.
Weird though with all those good players.

But with Sven as coach it's been really bad. They were the most defensive team in the world cup. You can really tell that coach has been in Italy through most of his coaching life.

They just defend and kick the ball up to the fast strikers.
Kinda like the way Liverpool plays.

If they have to be offensive they choke.

i agree with all that you say apart from the world rankings:

Current Fifa World Ranking

1 Brazil
2 France
3 Spain
4 Germany
5 Argentina
6 Netherlands
7 Turkey
8 England
9 Mexico
10 United States
11 Portugal
12 Denmark
13 Italy
14 Ireland Republic
15 Czech Republic
16 Belgium
17 Cameroon
18 Paraguay
19 Yugoslavia
19 Serbia and Montenegro
20 Korea Republic

Grrr, I can't even sit through a Liverpool game.

They are boring and piss...

I'm a proud Aussie, but the win was a little lame.

Because the local soccer is soooo shit in Australia the good players all go to Europe to play. Then years later when it suits us we claim them as our own.....after the Europeans have paid them and taught them to be champions

pretty sneeky really :Graucho

no, no it's not... soccer is a long way down the line in terms of the place it holds in australia.. a lot of people play it.. but as a fitness activity, not dreaming to represent their country to the accolades of their fellow australians.. as no one cares about it.

I'll agree that if we start winning things will change, but right now soccer is like hockey and netball. something a lot of kids do to to be fit and sporty but you only hear about at the world cup or maybe the olympics. It's still a foreign sport with not a lot of local support. The only people into it as a cultural sport are immigrants from soccer countries!!!!! italians that stay up till 3am to catch stuff on SBS and whatnot.
They're forever talking about why soccer isn't big here even though it's played a lot, especially by kids.. it just isn't part of our sporting culture..
I'd prefer we were as soccer mad as we are or instead of cricket.. I actually like soccer.
Still doesn't take away from the jokes about australians becoming soccer experts at world cup time and then forgetting about it for the next four years.
