I'd love to see what result the Dear Leader tells the North Korean public about this one. Maybe a gritty 1-0 win 

[tiger101]

the commentator said the game was being broad casted live into north korea for the first time this world cup. so i expect theres not much he can do for them on this one. besides maybe send them to the firing squad./

North Koreans will need the electricity turned on first for their tellies to work  




Maybe a coincidence that its a southern hemisphere world cup but all five South American countries are looking very strong and will make the final 16.

LOL @ France imploding big time. Karma!  

[one-eyed]

Uruguay and Mexico through to the final 16. South Africa and France out. SA the first host nation to fail to make it out of the group stage.

SBS saying Holman is out and Cahill in and Beauchamp in for Moore. No surprise Timmy is back but as much as Holman has his critics he has kicked our last two goals.


Might add digital tv is great for the WC right now with SBS showing games on simultaneously on their separate digital channels. Will come in handy tomorrow morning.

Lucky Schwarzer has saved our bacon 3 times or we'd be heading for a flogging. Ghana nil all with Germany so unless Ghana can pinch a goal to win their game our game won't matter anyway. I can't see us scoring 3 or 4 goals we need.

[mightytiges]

Great goals by Cahill and Holman  . Still need two more unless Germany can get another one or two against Ghana  .

[mightytiges]

Damn Serbia scored. No chance now.

[mightytiges]

Good win by the Aussies in the end so at least we go home with our heads held up high equalling a win and a draw of 2006. The German disaster stuffed us up in the end. Too much of a goal difference to catch up.

[Ramps]

Serbs were cheated. One goal that was a clear goal and a clear penalty. The Serbs and not Ghana should have gone through!

Fishing again Ramps  . Got to stick up for your Orthodox comrades  .

Serbs only have themselves to blame for missing 3 good chances in the first half. Socceroos pantsed them in the second half.

I was right too about Heskey. Dumped for DeFoe who scores and the Poms get through. God Save the Queen  . Match of the round of 16 against Germany. At least England finally played with a bit of oomph, togetherness and quick ball movement. Milner was b.o.g. on the right wing. Still it's a concern the Poms could only score one goal.

One thing you can say about the serbs and their Balkan mates is that they crack under pressure.

Far superior technically, but didn't have the ticker.

I dont fish I just buy it. I stick up for all christians irrespective of there religious affiliation, although I do support fellow Christian Orthodox brethren who are recognised by the Orthodox Church as being recognised. Its Brazils Cup for mine, but the Italians may do diving con jobs in games and cause some serious damage.

If I had a roughie at this stage to make the semis it would be the US. They play very direct physical football and have pace to burn with players like Donovan and Bradley running of the big man Altidore. Its simple stuff but quite effective.

In that half of the draw I think they would beat Ghana and then play the winner of England/Germany, neither of whom are going great guns (can never rule out the efficient Germans though)
