Posted 19/06/06 12:02 AM Author Share Posted 19/06/06 12:02 AM Too right NOS...I think we will take heaps more out of the game than Brazil will... I think at times we rushed when we didn't have to, simply because of implied pressure, pressure we thought we were under but weren't... Though we went down 2-0 our defence was superb, we didn't give many chances and marked very tightly but very fairly, which is something we have struggled with somewhat in the past... I'm sure those that watched the game heard the Brazilian fans boo their team when they had no option but to go backwards and reset... We had some excellent chances to score too but that is just how this game works, if you don't take the quality chances when they are there then you will most probably lose... A terrific result for us, not so much for the scoreline but the postives that we will take from the game!!Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was definately getting in the goal area with a few shots.Klasnic on the other hand, what the f*ck was he on? playing bloody basketball Kranjcar should have taken him off when he put Olic on...That was the worst display of football I've seen since Croatia got beaten in Korea/Japan....Australia on the other hand gave it good to Brasil, I think they held their own and will prove to be a fighting force against Croatia. Viduka, Neil, Kewell, absolutely brilliant!Then again, Croatia will be very determined to win and they may step up a notch rather than being complacent as they were against Japan...If Australia draws or wins against Cro, Australia go through as long as Brasil beat Japan right after.I got no hope of seeing Cro and Aussie going through to the next round now, it'll be very hard sitting on the sidelines....Go CRO!GO AUSSIE! Eitherway I'll be pissed off my nut!Anyone going into the City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipa_12 Member 182 Member For: 19y 9d Location: Canberra Posted 19/06/06 01:34 AM Share Posted 19/06/06 01:34 AM yeah the score line didnt really reflect the game... the difference between Australia and Brazil was that, Brazil have too many individually brilliant players.. too many players that can score and win a game even if the whole team is playing ... Brazil is the best at this... even if they arent playing good, they still have Kaka, Ronaldhino, Adriano, Robinho that can still do something special... ie Kaka the first game and Adriano the second... Australia should be proud, even though the history books will say 2 - 0 it was much closer and much more competitive game than the score suggest...the best thing that could happen was that Croatia drew with Japan , this puts Australia in the driving seat... and sorry Cro, but I think Australia will come through with the goods...

Space Ace Member 446 Member For: 20y 1m Location: Melbourne, Victoria Posted 19/06/06 02:37 AM Share Posted 19/06/06 02:37 AM I thought it was an excellent effort by the Aussies. We had as many, if not more chances than Brasil but we just didn't take them. I suppose that's the difference between a class team and a good team.I thought the referee was sh*te and was either overawed by the Brasillians or just plain biased. Did you guys see Kewell give him a spray straight after he blew the final whistle...fark I hope he doesn't cop a ban because of it...Not sure why Hiddink took off Cahill for Kewell…would have preferred taking off Sterjovski instead. All I know is he's a master tactitian. Could you imagine him coaching a team like Brasil?How good is Lucas Neill? I reckon his stocks have risen. I also thought Emerton had a good game even though its not his usual attacking style of play.Given the way Croatia played in the earlier game, Australia should be a shoe-in...but then again, sh*te happens and Ghana beats the Czech Republic...And what about that Argentian goal a couple of days ago against Serbia... 26 clear passes and then bang...
