Australia have only themselves to blame for the loss. The Slater dropped bomb, several of Tuqiri's f**k ups, the selection of Kurt 'If he's a utility player, then I'm a Dutch Astronaut Gidley'...

Houston we hebben een probleem

Who else in Australia could cover so many positions? He may not be the best player at the positions he covers but he cab cover any poition other than props and second row. Give me one other player that can do the same

True.

No - because after those games - there was a World CUp - where NZ was undefeated! Even drew with Italy.

If Italy = NZ and Aus > NZ - is Aus > Italy? No.

Your logic fails.

How do you know they aren't? Did the play recently?

Australia lost a lot when Lewis went off, he was looking sharp. Without him we lacked speed and creativity in the back row

Yes, they were undefeated and ended with 3 points. Australian ended with 4 points. 4 > 3. 3 < 4. Manchester United are currently undefeated in the EPL, but are coming 2nd.

That match deserved more than 36,000..

Shame on you Brisbane..
if we follow the queenslanders logic of whoever has the biggest crowds is the home of rugby league, it's auckland.

where the four nations trophy is headed, i believe.

You know Aussie sport is in the toilet when they're claiming Soccer.

The cricket, the League, The Union, the Netball -> its all going NSW.

By the way - you guys have successfully turned a heads up playing each other argument - into a league table argument.

It fails for the inconsistency.

Finals matter in all real sports comps - EPL does not count ;)

*kearney to marshall* "nah bro Im telling you - if we play badly this week and look out to sea they'll bring back Lockyer and Slater next week; and we'll get em."

Wouldn't even know there was a trophy if you relied on 9's telecast.

And yet we see two NZ tries scored off forward passes........

And the Nate Myles hands in the ruck to dislodge the ball from Matulino to give Aus possession for the Slater try.

Archer's worst performance of this series was without doubt his handling of the Aus v Eng game.

I just have to throw this out there because it's the main thing on my mind tbh....for me a lot of the gloss is off both the '08 and '10 wins because of dubious tries and dumb, dirty play that we got away with.

I just love earning the hate of my own fans btw.

NZ performing better than Australia in the WC is a myth.

Both finished in 3rd place.

Australia - 4 points

NZ - 3 points

And the Socceroos won the pre-WC friendly.


Refs gifted NZ tonight. Weak.

:lol: Hey, we need something. But really:

  • Last game: Australia 2 - 1 New Zealand
  • World Cup: Australia 4 points. NZ 3 points.
  • FIFA Rankings: Australia 21. NZ 51.
