It wasn't such a bad performance from Argentina as per previous comments. Yes perhaps they should have won by more than just one goal, as they missed many opportunities, but Australia also had a few little chances here and there. Overall it was a good win for Argentina because it was away from home. I think some people under estimate Australia and they have proven to be a very competitive side many times over. Respect is the key word and Argentina respects Australia. Cheers !!!
Australia beat in a friendly, the team who made it to the finals. and I know that some are going to say that we suck because we lost 4-0 to germany. but no one can argue that germany had played brilliantly.look at germany's other matches
Germany VS England 4-1
Germany VS Argentina 4-0
Germany VS Serbia 0-1(I don't know how that happened, we beat serbia)
Germany VS Uruguay 3-2
So yes we did lose to Germany 4-0, but so did the one of the best teams Argentina, and 4-1 england
For the first time in the club's 105-year history, the almighty Argentinean football club - Boca Juniors - is embarking on an exciting tour of Australia and New Zealand in July 2010!
Catch MVFC play against Argentina's most celebrated club - Boca Juniors - right after the World Cup on 23 July. Tickets will be on sale soon through Ticketmaster (Australia). Don't miss this one!
australia will never pose a threat with hack job breciano and kewell. One preforms in a shitty league only taking freekicks because theres a foul every 30 seconds and the other is so fucking overrated at liverpool because club scout is australian.
Neil proves his worth for years at newcastle but breciano and kewell def needs to go, vieri's brother getting cut from team was a great choice we know how much he sucked
We played pretty well against Argentina but it was always hard to beat Argentina altough we did ot once in 1988 when Charlie Yankos scored that cracking goal in that famous victory.
Australia played well, but Argentina was never in danger of losing this one. They controlled it from start to finish. I repeat, Australia played a good game, while Argentina's was not so good, but even in saying that, there is no way they played better than Argentina. Far too much quality, also bear in mind Argentina played a couple of debutants, and were missing Riquelme, Crespo and Sorin and the then recently retired Ayala.
With a bit of luck Australia could've won. Two of those free kicks had the Argentine GK dead to rights, but they turned every way but the right one. All in all it was an entertaining match. Australia and Argentina apart from the 2005 4-2 result often have entertaining matches.
Being Australian, It was great for Argentina to bring a basically full strengh team here and play beautiful football. Best of luck to you in the WC quilifiers.
bastante bien por no haber entrenado juntos, piensen q los jugadores de argentina se juntaron unos dias antes del partido y no jugaron mucho tiempo juntos como para poder jugar al 100%, digamos q jugaron a un 40% de lo q pueden dar. Bastante bien, iwal menos mal q el rival era australia sino tabamos al horno.//very nice result, thinking that argentinian players havent enough training days together. they play nice, but THANSK GOD that the other team was Australia!!! XD
I'm Argentinean and I gotta say Australia impressed me, Bresciano had a really good game, great player. Aussies are really tall compared to Argentineans! Good game.
blockheadman you have a point but at least sbs has the rights for the wc qualifer away games, and the 2010 world cup which is the most important tournament in footballing terms aka foxtel can suck penis
im pretty sure the away games will be shown mate, foxtel only have the rights for the home games, unless they buy rights for the away ones also then that would really piss me off.
they didn't show the Asian cup. thats an away game. matter if fact i emailed sbs & told them off calling them blind, dumb deaf & stupid. they replied saying they were outbid by foxtel
no im talking about the wc qualifer away games, not the asian cup.. and foxtel can bitch and moan all they want but at the end of the day its sbs who won cause they telecast the world cup
Aussies played very nice football , also the argentines too. Someone plz tell me the POSSESION of this game , 2nd half stats and full time stats and possesion. cheeeers
im not too disappointed with this result..although we didnt score..we played some good football against a country i reckon that plays the best style of football in the world..soo im happy
Looked like a really good football match to watch. The Socceroos need to brushen up on their defending. Messi is so damn good, also Bresciano was up to it, twice missing the net, one hitting the sidepost and the other at the goalkeeper. Carney had a good go at goal as well, but unfortunately, it's not Australia's day. Australia 0, Argentina 1. Well, let's hope Australia's next international match will be much better (until the new coach).
when tevez was brought down by carney (leading to the free kick which di michelis scored) - "...fouled needlessly..tevez was going no where.."
when messi hit the post - "you can't defend against that" - actually no doosh bag, like always grella didnt jockey but jumped in creating space for messi to move into and unload on his favoured left foot. bad call by slater and grella!
Well thats the disadvantage of marking everyone in the box. They run one way dragging a defender with them, which in turn opens up space for another to run into.
Probably should have been 1-2 Argentine's way in the end, but good match to watch, especially 1st half.
Funny to see how Archie was outpaced by the defenders XD
Messi<3
