Hahaha.

I think I'm like a lot of Aussies my age, I played soccer as a winter sport as a kid (cricket in the summer) but watching it gives me the shits with all the play acting and diving.

But I did watch the highlights yesterday and was very impressed with our two goals. Would be awesome if we could knock off the seppos in the next game.

Hi IDOTHAT,


Assuming you were on the Socceroos ? Good on you.

Yeah, odds of $5.50 was way over.................haha. I only put $20 on them and after the first goal I thought they are looking good, two goals win will probably secure their advance to the knock out stage. All up on their next game vs the host USA @$5.75 - why not ?


Aussie, Aussie, Aussie

She is wearing thick soles compared to the other dancers flats, and the other dancers have especially short legs for dancers. It's almost like they wanted that contrast for her to stand out. She does have long legs though.

Some cracking matches. Unfortunately the yanks got the chocolates, but technically the final score was 1-0. For the aussie bloke wearing 21 he'll one day be able to tell his grandkids that he scored a goal at a world cup.....and not many cunts can say they’ve done that.

Anyways, on the subject of national anthems just the tunes,not the lyrics, there are some seriously fucked up musical scores being sung around the grounds. I’m no muso, but some of those anthems sound like absolute dogshit. Who comes up with the tune and melody anyways?

The better anthems for mine include the French, English, US and Kiwi anthems, stoic as fuck and as for the rest.....yeah nah.

It was 15 v 11. The ref, linesmen and VAR were atrocious and blatantly bias. Apparently, Trump was pressing the buttons in the VAR cox.

I don't think he had the match officials in his pocket, but I do think he had our coach in there. How could he possibly explain why he didn't play both the 2 goalscorers in the first half? With no sign of injury or what not to boot!
And I also wish we had the Turkiye v Paraguay match before ours. Then I would've known how shit the opposition really was when we won 2-0 against them and wouldn't have put any money on the Aussies. $50 down the drain.

Popovic, holy crap what a clown. How could he have ever thought that subbing in a new goalie just before penalties could be a good idea? Can you imagine how much stress the poor new guy would be under? Not to mention how the team mentality and morale could've been. It's literally a rug pull.

I mean it doesn't matter if we would've won or lost if he hadn't done that. Just the fact that he did such an unheard off move and it didn't payoff is enough proof that he is a clown.

Ok dad, so you should be old enough to know the meaning of the word literally then. And smart enough to think of a new word we can use instead now that word is dead.
And yes I come for the rosters and stay for the shit talking but I reckon your 99.99% is an exaggeration. I target the topic consistently but that doesn’t mean the writer has to miss out.
Popovic made some weird decisions and I disagree with the change in keepers but they’ve gained some experience and will be more prepared next time.
If Amsterdam beats Argentina in the final I will retire.

It was because that bunch of thugs dressed up in KFC buckets were playing rough. They were out to injure the star players in the French team. You can imagine what they were saying to Mbappe. "Try to pass me and I'll break your $100m legs".

That sliding tackle by the American player landed right on the other players ankle. It could have easily snapped it.

If I was that American player I would have taken a principled stand and not played. I would have said ***k Trump, ***k you Infantino, you pair of corrupt ****'s. I will not be tarred by your brush. The games's integrity is far more important and bigger than either of you so keep your filthy hands off it. In support of integrity I'm not playing.

It would have been a huge stand against the graft and corruption FIFA stinks of anyway, as does Trump, and that footballing dope would not have taken on their stain like he was an infant with no choice.

You know what I think would have happened if he'd taken that stand? He not only would become immortal and famous by that fact alone, it would have then likely been ascension by universal acclamation as the new FIFA president. Like Ewan McGregor's tilt at the Popehood in Angels and Demons. Instead the soccer dope with all that potential for change, with all that principled power in his hands, what did he do instead? He played a game of soccer. Like he's played hundreds of before. And sinking back into the anonymity he deserves. Talk about 'king wildly assymetric outcomes.

But bro, he's black. If he'd taken the stand as you said, he risked having Trump do whatever he might concoct out of his sick, demented mind onto him to make his life miserable not to mention his family. Believe it or not that's the type of evil we're dealing with here. We know Trump is well capable of diabolical acts like that. I think the Devil lives in that man.

We need to spare the actual people involved out of this political BS. They're innocent IMO. Infantino, Trump, you can banish them into the nine levels of hell all you like, they deserve it. But the players were just players, nothing wrong with that.

Anyways how the fuck did Egypt manage to lose that match? they were 2–0 up with 15 minutes to go, and the argies still managed to put three in the net. If you can't defend 2 goals with 15 to go you shouldn't be allowed to play in the World Cup.

Agreeing with you here...
Refereeing is not the best in that game...
However, Argentina has been using punch, pulling shirts, tackle right on the calf, shin and everywhere else which shouldve been yellow or red card that goes unpunished...

Mental wise, Egypt never play on this level of pressure and physicality, hence they mentally and physically gave up after brutally bruised in that game....

If you think that was brutal you should watch the South American qualifiers. It's all brutal and all the teams need some warrior mentality along with class. Paraguay had the former, not the latter, but Argentina are warriors and have both. The problem is they haven't hit their 5th gear and need to wake up fast.

Spain definitely deserved the win, but for 105 mins they looked like the old Spain we knew from before 2008. All "tiki taka" with no teeth, can't score goals. The worst was when Oyarzabal had the goal wide open just outside the penalty area, didn't shoot and tried to make another pass into the area. Or that unbelievable Merino missed header.

They were very close to having to do it through penalties and their record at that is awful, especially in the WC. 1-4 to the worse, more likely to lose than win. Portugal knew that, so did the Argies, so they tried to push them to penalties. They're like magnets for boring goalless games, Spain, loll
