[DOC]

vuvuzelas
diving
card happy refs
dodgy reds alround
that shit ball that is jabulani
south africa given a good account
france
the neutrals

[mavromooni]

Being proved very wrong about Brett Holeman

[Loppermann]

major events that are all but certain to happen in the remainder of the first round and the business end of the tournament...
bit early to be reminiscing about something that isn't even halfway through yet

just getting peoples thoughts already, been some big stories so far

[totsreds08]

card hungry refs

[totsreds08]

and a lot of uneducated comments by 'football experts' who will dissapear after this tournament

[redsfan]

that shit display in game one were we did everything wrong.

[Loppermann]

that cabernet display in game one were we did everything wrong.

to be fair, it wasn't everything
at least we didn't have 2 more sent off or conceed 10

it wasn't and we had chances in the 2nd game to make it irrellivant but in the end we got done over by goal differance, goal differance we accumilated in that first game. In the end it cost us a round of 16 spot.

Craig Johnston

[Chade]

Being proved very wrong about Brett Holeman

No, you weren't. Minutes after scoring, he attempted a simple ball out to the wing. Had a 10 metre gap to put it through... and missed. He's effective in the forward impetus he gives the team, and his work rate... but not much more.

first game tactics by pim, it cost us dearly

Red cards costs us dearly too. I think we would've beaten Ghana with 11 - and qualified with 6 points. Shit happens.

Kevin Muscat commentating only way he was gonna get to the World Cup faarken muppett

[OldRedback]

I'll remember Kosta Utd's futile attempt to justify the Greek's pathetic attempt in their last game and Hawksey's systematic demolition of his argument making him look even more stupid.

I'll also remember that I spent the first week wondering how Francis Rossi got involved in soccer punditry on SBS before I found out it was Craig Johnstone.

Kevin Muscat commentating only way he was gonna get to the World Cup shiraz muppett

to be fair, I thought he's been quite good.... Basheer on the other hand....

[Number7]

Rubbish refs
Rubbish ball
Noise
Again Majority of South and Central American nations performing well when the cup is held outside of Europe. (Dont know why this happens would be an interesting topic to discuss).
Craig Foster has been ok.

Agree Greece are Rubbish..

[looprevil]

Socceroo's debacle in the first game, which cost us a place in the last 16.
Not Cahill's or Kewell's red cards.
Not Wilkshire's miss.
But Pim's gameplan against Germany.

[Litmanen]

Switzerland V Spain
The first 20 mins of the Ghana game ( as it summed up our whole world cup)
The stupid ball
The stupid horn
Kalac's stupid hair

[Steelinho]

first game tactics by pim, it cost us dearly

What actually cost us was our inability to put a second goal away against Ghana. Germany was always a write-off and I don't blame Pim for trying something different. Wasn't his fault that the defenders couldn't keep a simple defensive shape to allow the offside trap to work. They did seem to learn against Serbia, however, and the shape looked a lot better.

Kevin Muscat commentating only way he was gonna get to the World Cup shiraz muppett

He was already going with Fox Sports anyway.

Craig Foster has been ok.

You've lost any credibility you may have held.



Anyway, for me the big memory I'll take from this World Cup is Chile. They're a beautiful footballing nation. Also, Uruguay v Mexico.

[Dad's Army]

Denmark if they do the business over Japan tonight.

Denmark if they do the business over Japan tonight.

Shame they won't then. You'll finish with no memories of the tournament.

[PhilDunphy]

- controversial ball
- vuvuzelas
- minnows making a name for themselves against the top nations (nz)
- the amount of cards shown, particularly soft red cards shown
- that a-league players can cope at this level (nz proves this)
- disappointing performances from big nations (france, england, italy)

[the_gun]

so far wilkshires miss against ghana and diego forlans goal.

We shall see. If Japan lose they'll have a worse record than Australia
