OT: Association Football

[Eelementary]

Well, we beat the world number 30...not bad.

 

[the phantom menace]

Yep, nice work. I liked the scramble in defence when needed.

At least we won't leave the group/tournament empty handed (winless).

 

[King-Gutho94]

Sporting globe at King St wharf exploded when we scored and at fulltime.

What a great night. If we were to win a game Saturday prime time match was perfect.

That was an interesting read... so basically we're through to teh round of 16 with either a win or a draw against Denmark, but if Tunisia beat France then only a win against Denmark will get us through?

Exactly right.

It's pretty much expected that France will beat Tunisia (unless they rest key personnel), so if we draw with Denmark (or beat them), we are through.

Which would be awesome, but also weird - our squad really isn't that strong, imo.

 

[the phantom menace]

Yes, very weird to think we could finish in the final 16 this time, if Denmark have an off day and we blag a lucky draw.

Wow, Canada f**ks us in the Davis Cup winning both singles in straight sets, and then immediately after scores a goal on Croatia after just 68 seconds!

Croatia 4-1

Some insane games overnight

Serbia leading 3-1 in the second half , drew with Cameroon 3-3

1-1 Spain and Germany
Spain had 65% of the ball and led 1-0 up to the 83rd min

Ghana 3-2 over South Korea

[Suitman]

OMG!

[Suitman]

Up there with 2006.
Well done Arnie getting these lads up.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don't get why Tunisia would've gone through if we only drew with Danmark.

Goal difference dopey.

[King-Gutho94]

It was a miracle we even got to the World Cup.

Let alone get through the Group.
