sakebomb 0 Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Certainly did but since it is the second time Australia has been to the World Cup I thought it might deserve its own thread! Thanks anyway! Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 As a gaijin, the bias of the coverage is so bad that you sometimes want the Japan's opponents to win. NOT WHEN ITS AUSTRALIA THOUGH!

bushpig 0 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 CB you biatch! You are as bad as the damn coach of the US team! (Yes, I know you were fishing with that comment.) I just wish we had been drawn in your group! Ah well, we are gonna beat Japan, and that's all that matters. Link to post Share on other sites

sakebomb 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Pele: Aussies have skills to beat Brazil FOOTBALL legend Pele is adamant that a determined Australia can surge through the "Group of Death" and beat his Brazilian side in their World Cup group match in June. We will see! Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 The funny thing is, hardly anyone I know gives a shit about soccer - that is, until Australia got into the World Cup. Now everyone's a soccer expert! I don't follow the soccer at all but I reckon Italy will win, purely because they have the hottest looking players. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hahaha, it is just unfortunate that the profile of soccer in Australia isn't the same as cricket or rugby league. But with the reforms within the game, the new league and the FFA hopefully it might change in the next few years! Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really give a shit about soccor, gimme AFL anyday! It's good that people get behind their countries teams, though if they lose, they'll be the biggest critics. Happens here too.

bushpig 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 You're right Indosnm. You don't have to be extra interested in a sport to enjoy it at an international level. I mean look at how much people in Aus get into the swimming, but who ever takes notice of anything that isn't an international meet? Let me guess, Bombers right? Link to post Share on other sites

snobee 0 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hey Indo - another crows fan! Does that mean there's only 2 of us on here?
