Big year coming up for the Socceroos.

How do you like our chances in the Asian Cup Easty? It will be here before we know it.

Yeah hopefully we can do well. Will see how it pans out. I'd say we are certainly one of the stronger teams in Asia. Compared to the world though we still have work to do.

Re: Socceroos Thread

Still dont have a striker so going to be difficult. Hopefully it is the start of Burns or someone similar proving themselves.

I fear for Ange if the Aussies don't at least make the final of the Asian cup.
The Sydney mafia will be all over him, but it's a weak squad .

How far do you think will go in the tournament Remi. Our first match is up against Kuwait. We have Korea Republic and Oman also in our group.

Good win tonight in our opening match against Kuwait. It was a shaky start going 1 goal down but we the replied with 4 goals and created lots of chances. We have South Korea next and then Oman.

Good start tonight after a shaky start. I think being on home soil we can win it, but I fear if we don't at least make The final the likes of Slater Bosnich and the Fox Sydney sports mafia will be all over Ange.

If we won the final 4-0, they would say we should have won 5-0 and still want Ange sacked.

Re: Socceroos Thread

A great result this morning with the Socceroos drawing 2 - 2 with Germany in Germany.

Considering Cahill, Spiranovic, Kruse, Luongo and Sainsbury were all missing it was an impressive effort.

Only a late Lukas Podolski goal denied us the win.

Awesome Aussies draw 2-2 in Germany

Cracking goal... Was thinking when we scored when was the last time we scored a goal from a free kick?.. It had been a while.

Yes, Charlie Yankos scored an absolute beauty against them World Champions, Argentina, in 1988. It put us 2-1 up and we went on to humiliate them 4-1. Yes, 4-1.

Maradonna and co were visibly upset at the result, with the whole SFS crowd singing "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina." Absolutely magic. One of the biggest boil-overs in world sport.
