Posted November 16, 2005 Australia has just beaten Uruguay in a penalty shoot out to qualify for next years soccer world cup. This is only the second time Australia has qualified, the previous was 32 years ago. This is one of the biggest moments in Australia’s sporting history. With the result the whole country will be soccer mad for the next few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God you english people have memories like a fish, N IRELAND anyone, fact is being as cocky as you are, like most english will only see you fail AGAIN, you will never win the world cup and australia could quite easily beat you, and i would love it if they did.

Talking of memories.. its always the defeats that people remember. We've only lost a few times under Sven. People forget that, people forget the magnificent victories over teams like Croatia (Euro 2005) and Denmark (World Cup 2002). We lose one match and automatically it makes us a bad team? I think not, we have a great chance next year. Shame Scotland weren't going 'cos I sure would love to see us thrash you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How often do England thrash us? not very often, you have beaten us but not thrased us. My point is not about only the defeats, it s about how the english are so cocky and believe they are better than others, which is of course not true. You will do what you have done in every major tounament since 66, flatter to decieve as usual, never living up to what is expected of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2005 at least we are there. Ouch, that really hurt, id rather not be there then make a fool of oursleves as you do every competition, for a nation of 60 odd million you are crap. Though your fans are good at causing fights and almost getting you thrown out of tournaments, perhaps they will do it this time and save you the embarrasment of not winning again.

Turkey??? i feel england is unfairly punished when other countries get away with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turkey??? i feel england is unfairly punished when other countries get away with it. England has by far the worst hooligansim in the game, turkey are bad, but i wouldnt say as bad as ebgland, as scots on the other hand are some of the best fans in the world, ho, ho :awesome: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 16, 2005 English fans are far more well known for violence in other countries, they organise them selfs in groups just so they can go make disturbances during big events instead of watching football. Although in Euro2004 they didn't make such a big fuss, which means they're getting better :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never said that, I just hate the way the english are so cocky, obviously i would like to see scotland in there, but with our resources its not going to happen any time soon.

Posted November 16, 2005 hmm, enough Australia bashing :/ I actually like Australians. its cool they are in the world cup, and I'd like England to meet up with Australia, simply because I think (and hope) it would be a nice atmosphere. Though your fans are good at causing fights and almost getting you thrown out of tournaments. They aren't fans. They are a good argument for 1)cutting off government benefits and allowances (particularly the dole) 2)moving to a different country 3)investigate eugenics they're shameful. Even the good fans aren't particularly great. I mean, take Irish fans, When they beat England, they weren't happy England had been beaten, they were happy their team had won. Ok I'm sure being England made it a bit better, but it makes a big difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2005 Well done to Australia! A suggestion.. perhaps people whose national side hasn't qualified shouldn't post in here? That way we can just all post nice things wishing each other luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
