Aus v Ned (Previews, Spoilers, Post match discussion etc)

[Misanthrope]

Bleh, I can't believe Viduka's header didn't go in

 

[Macca_]

Our passing was very sloppy. As was our marking on set pieces.

Apart from that it wasn't a bad half. Some things to improve on.

 

[Misanthrope]

We missed Cahill and Kewell, I thought. Our attack was pretty predictable for the most part.

We're really struggling to contain horseface, Neill isn't the great world class central defender australian bandwagoners think

Most defenders struggle to contain him...

1-1!!!! Cahill scored! Dukes wins a penalty, then hits the crossbar... big scramble... Cahill slots it. Viduka should never take penalties for Australia again!!!

 

[morri (cWo)]

OOOO Timmy Cahill

 

[Cammo]

Schwarzer is going great in goal, has saved us a number of times so far.

 

[BWNB]

Vaduka should never take a spot kick again!

 

[Cammo]

Schwarzer with another great save.

Hiddink should stick with Viduka on penalties, he will get one when it matters most I am sure of it.

 

[Cammo]

Socceroos looking much better so far in the second half. The Dutch are quality opposition and we are not doing too bad.

 

[Cammo]

Red Card for Wilkshire, now we will be tested to see how good we are.

 

[BWNB]

wilshere got sent fpr a late tackle

 

[mickdo]

Wiltshire sent off. Second yellow...

 

[morri (cWo)]

nasty tackle

 

[Cammo]

If we can keep the score at 1-1 for the rest of the game it will be a great result.

 

[BWNB]

Schwarzer with another great save.

Hiddink should stick with Viduka on penalties, he will get one when it matters most I am sure of it.

This game may not mean much or the result but he could of cost us a birth when he missed that other one against uraugry

 

[mickdo]

Anyone remember seeing him get a first yellow??? The ref showed yellow then red, and I can't believe that was a straight red...

Maybe so, but better players than him have missed many times as well and coaches stick with them. I think it would be a mistake to change things now.

I did think it was his first card
