[Ashy Larry]

Worst call ever, these refs have no f**king idea!!!

FIFA what a farce! f**king useless

[Hanaldo]

1-1, Kewell sent off.

You know what, I'm not watching this World Cup anymore. This is the most corrupt display of refereeing that I have ever seen, and it is ruining the game for me. Bullshit.

f**k that, how about we just scrap the games altogether and the referees can just play chess between themselves

[Ten Four]

Robbed.... =/

its not so much the red its the rwo reds missed consistency is the most important thing in umpiring FFS

[Hanaldo]

Yeh, to be honest it probably was a red card (by FIFA's stupid rules anyway). But how about that tackle by the Ghanaian? That was a clear red card under any circumstances. Yet Timmy Cahill gets sent off for his tackle. It's ridiculous.

[GWP021]

well a great game by ghana and the socceroos have come back and proved they can do the job other than some verry dodgey calls it wasnt to bad a watch

[Ten Four]

Disagree with you on Mcdonald, hes crap...

Imo 4-4-2, Ruki and Kennedy up front.

[Neuroglider]

well for the aussies to be up 1-0 they wouldve won for sure if that red card hadn't of been dealt...

fking ref's i swear to god

Haha there you go again blaming the players for the coaches faults. McDonald isn't crap, he is the best striker Australia has, and is a far better player than Mark Viduka or Harry Kewell (albeit a different sort of player). His record speaks for itself, 51 goals in 88 SPL games for Celtic. The difference between his form for the Socceroos and his form for Celtic is the fact that when he played for Celtic his coach used him in a formation that suited him, and reaped the benefits. For the Socceroos he has always played upfront by himself, which he absolutely can not do.

People seem to think that if a player is good then they can play well in any position and suit any formation, but it really isn't the case. If the coach gets the tactics right and has good man management skills, any team can beat anybody, eg. Switzerland vs Spain, Serbia vs Germany, New Zealand vs Italy... All perfect examples of the coach nailing the tactics. Don't underestimate the influence tactics and good coaching has on a game.

So far Australia 0-0 with Serbia, playing well... But Germany 1-0 against Ghana. Need MOAR goals from Germany and Australia!!

[Hanaldo]

Australia 2-0 Serbia... This is what the Socceroos are about

[Hanaldo]

Australia 2-1 Serbia; Germany 1-0 Ghana. Not enough for Australia to go through to the last 16 What a good effort though. Anyone who tries to tell me Australia can't play football, I will be pointing them to that match. Unlucky Socceroos

[jaxt]

well done to the socceroos!! it was a good second half for us.
