2010 World Cup - Australia 1 Ghana 1 - Group D

[Raiders_Premiers]

Our first touch is akin to an U15's level

 

[Big Mick]

Be nice if our players could even control the ball with one touch, Bresciano has been pretty ordinary IMO

Agreed. but at least he can create.

Just then that fancy stupid crap from Emerton / Wilkshire nearly cost us.

We need discipline. But for some reason we can never do that consistently.

 

[CycloneSteve]

Even if we draw this, we are still mathematically a chance with Germany beaten by Serbia. If Ghana beat Germany and we beat Serbia we finish second dont we?

Australian tactics - Get a rare opportunity with ball in front 3rd. Instead of holding it up and waiting for runners, pass back to midfield, who in turn pass back again. Then play a long ball forward and give possession to other team. Rinse & repeat while fans kill themselves

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

I can't remember the last time we've had a shot

 

[fish eel]

We're doing ok. They're only having shots from outside the box.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

My God, Moore cannot get any worse. FFS

 

[CycloneSteve]

Bring on Jesus!!!

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

lol Bresciano rejecting Arnold's handshake

 

[abpanther]

Ghana run past our players like they're in slow motion.

Our team looks worse when they play the ball backwards..

Nice chance there for Chipperfield....

 

[fish eel]

What chance bresh signs for arnie and the mariners?

 

[CycloneSteve]

We look very ordinary in defence. I think we are playing for a draw.

 

[Dragon]

Is it just me or are Ghanaian players selfish, showboating types. They have had numbers up front and end up going for glory themselves, when any decent team would have cut us to shreds. Doubt they will beat the Serbs

*edit* Germany i mean Germany

 

[abpanther]

f**k!!! Wiltshire should've put that away

 

[fish eel]

You guys are being pretty harsh imo

all their shots are from outside the box. We're soaking up pressure and then creating.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Craig Moore has to go. He is getting absolutely destroyed out there

 

[bartman]

We've been doing very tidily for the last 10 mins or so. Kennedy is on, and things are possible.

Ghana should have put us away, but they haven't looked like it. One good shot on goal will do it - their keeper didn't look crash hot in his attempt that ended up with our first goal. Stay composed...

 

[abpanther]

We're looking dangerous now

 

[abpanther]

Wiltshire has been great tonight, doing everything he can...

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Culina stays on, Wilkshire off....... Dumbf**ks
