------------------Mark Schwarzer-----------------
Topor Stanley, Beauchamp, Spiranovic, North
--------------Jedinak, Jacob Burns----------------
------------Troisi, Sterjovski, Kewell--------------
-----------------Joel Griffiths---------------------

 

[Dutchy]

horrible side compared to what will show up in the qualifiers

 

[Dragooner]

AUS vs GHANA or StGIll vs MAN

hmmmmmmmm

Man that's tough, all round I must say I prefer Football to League but won't take too much interest in this game.

How're we looking, guys? Four Four Two has decent live play by play, but it doesn't exactly capture the feel of the game.

prettu even game

im probley the only one watching lol since everyone can get nrl except us people in melbourne :x

 

[Misanthrope]

I know which I'd rather be watching but, alas, I have neither option available to me.

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

aussies arent looking to good ghana are getting chances everywhere

 

[Misanthrope]

From what I'm reading, we're seriously lacking in creativity. A guy like Nick Carle or Marco Bresciano would be handy.

0-0 halftime i would like to see a few changes in the 2nd half bring on allsopp and pair him with girriffiths

and change the mid feild dunno who was on our bench Valeri????????

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

lol forgot i was behind with foxtel iq well aussies up 1-0 scoring in the 45 min

Sterjovski really is an underrated performer for us. It's a pity he's back in the Championship with Derby next year.

Spiranovic finally gets that lucrative first cap. Croatia can f**k off and focus all of their attentions on poaching Vidosic, now.

Fulltime Australia 1 Ghana 0

A tremendous result. I haven't seen the Ghanian squad, so I can't comment on the quality of their lineup, but the side we put out tonight was devoid of almost all of our top line talent. Beating the 14th ranked side (or 17th on ELO, I think) in the world is a very good result.

they were missing essien but we were missing a few too

during the final 20 they threw everything at us and our defense only just recovered

More than a few, I would think. The only guys in that squad I'd call first team regulars are Kewell and Schwarzer, with Carney and Sterjovski as semi regulars.

 

[fish eel]

good result considering we were played off the park for much of the match

 

[Raider Ultra]

We were gunt. Not sure how we nicked that.
