Time to put your money where your mouth is and support the Aussie and perhaps Queensland as well........ haha
Just put a 4 legs multi $10 bet in Labrokes @$630.67 to 1 !! With odds boosted.
Australia to beat France, Qld to win Game II, Australia to win the second ODI vs England and Redkirk Warrior to win the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot !!
Not a good weekend for the Aussie in sports :
Loss to France , loss to Ireland , loss to England and Nick got beaten by Roger too !
And only 2 guys made the cut at the US Open .
The soccer roos did themselves proud against France, only a few minutes from securing a draw... can't help but think they started playing for the draw which is why they lost, when they were taking it to the French, they looked good!
Apart from the host Russia winning 5-0 in the opening, lots of very surprising results :
Argentina draw with Iceland !
Brazil draw with Switzerland!
And defending Champion Germany beaten by Mexico !
What’s going on at the World Cup ??
The subs made the difference for France. Girroud was able to draw defenders giving Pogba a bit of space. Smart tactical move by the coach. I wish we had Timmy on the park!! We had several free kicks...and only Timmy can finish them.Quote:

England bats men set a new world record in ODI last night destroying the Aussie B team for 6/481 - we were all out for less than half of that and wasted 13 overs !
I can understand no Smith and Warner. But where the bloody hell were Starc? Cummings and Hazelwood? And why is our no 1 Test Spinner Nathan Lyon sitting on the bench when the two England spinners took 7 wickets between them .
One more question, on the second game we won the toss and sent England in to bat and they put 300+ on us. Why did we choose to bowl again ??
Seriously?
The Socceroos are playing Denmark 🇩🇰 tonight, if we lose, the World Cup campaign is over. Can we beat the Danes ??
It’s a do or die for the Aussie boys tonight, and if the new coach doesn’t use Timmy Cahill and lose the match = get eliminated, it would be the biggest stuff up in this country’s sporting history !
I would bring Cahill out in the hour mark and give him 30 min to fulfill his destiny! To score in 4 successive World Cup and guides his country to the next round. I’m sure the Danes all know who he is and will mark him up very tight once he is on the field - so even if he doesn’t score he will create space and opportunities for other teammates and we can put Arzani on at the same time to put the Danes to the sword - sounds like a good plan ??
How much will a same game multi pays for the Aussie to win and both Timmy and Daniel to score ?? @$42.75!
Go Aussie !!
I think Daniel Arzani has to start in place or Kruse who showed nothing much in two starting roles. We looked so much more threatening and almost a different attacking team when Dan came on, and why is Timmy Cahill not used last night ? We were clearly on top in the final 20 min and just lacking a finisher in the middle, and a win last night would almost secure a spot into the next round, now we have to beat Peru by more than 1 goal and hope that France will do the job for us on Denmark !!
Got my win already this time from state of origin! Haha.. thanks QLD. 10 up
Yeap! Already got paid by Sportsbet and made the withdrawal ........ hahaQuote:

@$78.50 - 1: Holmes, Gagai, Addo Carr try and under 35.5 points !
Can’t lose this time !!
Wow! Nice one. Must be big! It's so nice when you know it's going to be win-winQuote:

I actually had the exact same multi in game I when the three wingers all scored except it was only one bet and I had it for over 35.5 points and the game ended in 22-12 = 34 points . For the last 10 min I was just hoping for ANY points ! Even a Blues penalty would have delivered a big win for me! So I learnt my lesson , having it both ways tonight !Quote:

It was 3 tried a piece and we lost cause we didn’t have a goal kicker !!
There is no what if in footy but last night was a case if we have anyone of the big three 3 still playing, we would have won!
Ps, don’t think Qld would make wholesale change for a dead rubber- but if Kevie is brave enough to try DCE and recall Matt Scott, dropped Hunt and Arrow and keep
Ponga on the bench, I’ll be very happy !
After losing the ODI’s 4-0, the Aussie boys had a chance to salvage some pride and badly need confidence and momentum going to the T20 and bloody let it slip and gave England the pleasure of a 5-0 white wash !!
While only setting a modest target of 205! The blowers finally had a good start and pushed the Poms to 6-86 with seemingly only Jos Buttler the only remaining obstacle for an unlikely win ! Only for Buttler to stand tall at the end with a 110 no and single handedly won the final ODI by 1 wicket !
And England also won 6-1 in the World Cup too !! Now safely into the next around and in hot form !
Wow, nice picks! Well doneQuote:

And for the sake of football and this country fate in this World Cup, let Tim Cahill play !! There is no guarantee we will win and he will score in his forth consecutive World Cup, but if he doesn't get to play and we lose, that will be the biggest regret and stuff up in our World Cup history.
Have a go, that's all we are asking for.
And Daniel Arzani must start and play the full 90 min !!
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie,
Goal, Goal, Goal !!!
I think 24 million Aussies reckon Timmy should play.
It's just a matter of convincing 1 Dutchman ;)
Van Marwijk has done a great job so far.
We are much more structured, disciplined and tight in defence and midfield now..
Under that clown Postecoglou we were a loose mess.
We've avoided a thrashing from the French and got a draw against Denmark.
My only criticism of van Marwijk is that he should have brought Timmy on in the second half especially against Denmark.
Anyway he took a cautious approach and we live to fight another day.
Our problem still remains that we can't score! It was the same story under Postecoglou.
4 of our last 5 goals have been from penalties (lucky Jedinak never misses. He has a 100% record from the penalty spot and that's even better than Ronaldo!)
Anyway tonight we have to really go for it!
Realistically we will need at least 2 goals to win because Peru are bound to score at least once.
Let's see if the Dutchman has another string to his bow and can get us to play attacking football too and someone steps up to score; Juric, Rogic, Arzani, Leckie, McLaren or of course TIMMY!!!!
I think Bert has done a stellar job and that he hasn't put a foot wrong yet. Cahill deserves some game time, but only as a sub. In the last 6 months, he has been on the pitch for a total of 60min. His skill set is very limited too, he is only good in the air, not so much with the ball at his feet. Defensively he is suspect and can't pressure the goalie or defenders when they have the ball and looking to distribute. We need to press them and force them to make poor decisions.
With Nabout injured, the starting squad will be very interesting to see. Hopefully Arzani starts.
The team spirit was very strong with the Socceroos and it looks like Bert (who they obviously respond to) has quickly adapted to the Australian attitude. (Quicker than Pim Verbeek). I don't want to see this eroded so some individual can chase personal glory.
GO SOCCEROOS
I wouldn't be upset if Tim doesn't get a chance tonight, but if he does, good luck to him - I will be cheering him as much as any supporter. If he does score, I hope that he doesn't push away his teammates in his celebrations.

THE world has gone crazy for Tim Cahill’s wonder goal, declaring it a goal of the tournament contender and worthy of sitting alongside the masterpiece volley of Dutch genius Marco van Basten at Euro ’88.
@@@@@@
Just giving Cahill some credit where credit is due !
Anyway, a win is what we must have, it doesn’t matter who scored or how we get there.
Cheers
Yes, very true Ahlungor. It was an unbelievable goal.
