watching the arg ivory match highlights...

Messi scores, how fitting since barca didnt want him to go, .

Match in progress...currently 1-1

 

[Burgey]

1-1...poor defence on the corner costs australia much of a chance.need to beat ivory and hope that serbia draw or lose to them...argentina to go through undefeated.

Fair effort for Australia to keep Serbia to a 1-1 draw, especially given how much Serbia dominated the match.

Scoreline flattered us so much it wasn't funny.

Thought we were **** actually. Too many long balls, Thompson's a myth at international level, and we should never have led. If that lot are the future, we'd better make thie next WC, coz the one after that looks like 100-1 stuff.

Playing that bad 1st up will make the gold medal all the sweeter in a fortnight's time

Thompson is hardly going to do much when he gets ****/no delivery tbf.

Agreed except for the last part lol, we'll be very lucky to progress.

 

[GIMH]

You should know that, as an Englishman. Your men's team has been playing like women for decades

bit harsh, some of those women's teams are pretty good.

Good points guys, look forwards to revisiting them during your next World Cup exit

Which'll probably be 2 or 3 days either side of yours !!!!!

 

[GIMH]

Haha, harsh but fair

Score stays like that. Quite a fan of the Swedish women football team.

Norway to thump New Zealand in a few minutes.

 

[Somerset]

Norway to thump New Zealand in a few minutes.

Both the NZ mens and womens teams managed a draw in their opening matches (the men after being up 1-0 and the women 2-0), so I don't think the womens team will be a pushover at all against Norway tonight.

Well, NZ are 1-0 down already.

Lol, great.

 

[Craig]

New Zealand and Brazil tonight and Italy v Korea.

 

[Smudge]

We are going to ****ing own those overrated Brazilians.

 

[duffer]

Oh man this Argie squad is scary. Messi, Aguero, Mascherano, Riquelme, Gago, Ustari, Garay, Burdisso are all superstars at top clubs in top leagues.

Good luck to the Olyroos tonight!

 

[Smudge]

We are going to ****ing own those overrated Brazilians.

Once we claw back from that one-goal deficit after 5 minutes...

 

[duffer]

Channel 7 coverage is the pits. Affter 10 minutes they decide it's the right time to show a solid 7 ads in a row.

Sopcast it is then.

 

[John88]

Channel 7 is probably the worst channel on FTA

Olyroos, if they win. Argentina are the worst.
