@korahaplayas yes, it's true, Kewell was offside... but then, the rugby on Viduka was not given as a penalty, and neither was the second blatant Croatian handball in the box (you know, the one where he actually punches the ball).
and who was it that rugby tackled viduka? Simunic so in essence he shoul've been sent off after 4 minutes not scooping up yellow cards like theres no tomorrow. Deserved win for the aussies
How come they got to the last 16 in 2006 and were beaten by the world champions unfairly after Grosso dived in the 93rd minute. Oh yea Australia really suck dont they!!! Australia will beat Serbia (similar to Croatia) and Ghana (beaten them 4 times out of 5) Germany is the only problem.
i rofl at your obvious troll comment just think about this for a minute you sent your British cons to absolute paradise my friend and ill take an Aussie accent over a geezer one any day of the week. And ill tell ya the vital missing link against Italy was most definitely Brett Emerton, the quality service he delivers is most definitely missed upon his absence.
Go back to your depressing high rise flat whilst I go surfing in 30 degrees beautiful SUNSHINE you TWAT..... throw yourself off your 35th floor balcony if you can miss your overcrowded crime ridden streets... :)
Great result, but this Hiddink side continued Australia's tradition of having crucial lapses in defense. It'll probably continue for another generation. We were in control of our WC destiny when Italy were sent down to ten men. 20 seconds away from an attritional period of extra time & then possibly penalty shootouts (which italy have a habit of losing). But no...bresciano was ball watching and it was left to neill to deal with grosso the best he could. We need a world class defensive coach.
polpiv4itfi, defence isnt just the problem we have, its lack of technique and ability to hold the ball, look at spain for example.. full of world class players and can kill a team with their posession.
I wish you were wrong, but you're right. A world-beating australian football team isn't coming any time soon; despite the 'new-era' hype we have at the moment.
i can understand that mistake, it was close. however, red carded player staying on the field, viduka getting literally tackled, croatia player handling the ball TWICE (should be a red card)... croatia had a win handed to them, and couldnt hang on. pathetic.
yer the win was handed to aussie aswell, they hugged the referee after, if the referee uses referee cant add two yellow cards into one red he shouldnt be at the worldcup.
fuck your dumb, viduka kewell etc hugged the referee afterwards because they place in the premiership and that referee, refs in the premiership. why dont you go watch your shitty yanky sports.baseball and "football"
haha you can call me names all you want. im perfectly fine with it? you know why? cause you usually spell the insults wrong. which i find amusing. i dont like baseball, and i hate american football.
and next time, when you call someone dumb, be sure to spell "you're" right... as well as "yankee". and your grammar... well i wont even go there.
ummm, no cause people like me, my large group of friends who watch football of all different sorts regularly and all the other groups of people out there who watch football would have recognised we would have had no chance in getting the cup. I will say however that since football is not popular here that a majority of Australians are uneducated when it comes to player recognition, team recognition and gameplay/style but there are more of us that follow football here than you think man.
Same here at my uni, all a bunch of bandwagoners. I met a bunch of people who swore they loved football and loved the Socceroos and had been following them for a while. Once Australia got eliminated, they didn't want anything to do with football whatsoever. You'll find ppl screaming we were robbed were the bandwagoners who followed the game only while the world cup was on. The educated ones generally have a better response.
I don't remember those headlines but I wouldn't put it past the media to write something like that seeing as the media doesn't know shit. I like to take everything I read from newspapers etc with a grain of salt.
wtf? I don't know what aussies you are listening too man but never during the campaign did I even think we would win the cup. We had an alright chance to beat Ukraine but once we faced Germany, we would have been decimated, don't know what you are going on about.
so instead of talking about AFL, are you going to tell me why that Croatian guy slammed Cahill's head into the back of the other guy and why the Croatian's flop themselves over whenever they foul the Australians or are you going to rant on about AFL?
No, it's in America, South Africa, England etc and we play an international game every year with the Irish/Welsh. Anyway, why say all players in the AFL are fucked up? That's such a stupid/ignorant comment to say. While 1% of the Ben Cousins are doing coke, the other 99% are out in the community being responsible role models. Stop being an idiot...
You're an idiot, we didn't expect special treatment at all, we just wanted a ref that didn't try to screw us over every game. Game against Japan, ref allows nonexistant goal, game against Croatia, there is shit ref decisions on both sides and you know the decision I refer to about Italy. Maybe you should get your facts straight before shooting your mouth off son.
CroUtiger is a poofter, 1 offside goal for Australia... So what? Rugby Tackle on Mark Viduka in the box, your gay player stayed on the field, after a red card, You croations play way too dirty, YOU SUCK
Hey everyone, don't forget the goal scored exactly half a second before it was scored. So essentially, it should have been 3-2 and everyone knows it ;)
Kalac - Born and raised in Australia (and gave you a gift!)
Bresciano - Born and raised in Australia
I believe that makes them all Australian, they have Croatian heritage but heritage doesn't mean shit, they're all Australian whether you like it or not
Dude stop whining :) it was 2-2. And u act like u beaten us but ya didnt. Ya only went through the next round.. and than got beaten. haha. Ya didnt even won the WC...
they're not croats at all mate, they're aussies born & bred there's a difference between the country of birth and the heritage in which u were derived from.
See thats just racism. Im Australian, youre not, youre just a paranoid dickhead. I am also Croatian, I went for Croatia but Im also hapy for Australia even though they got lucky with an offside goal and think they are so good because they can tie the game with us.
I guess our offside goal just made up for your intentional handball in the box in the first half, your red carded player playing out the match, our incorrectly disallowed goal before the final whistle, and your constant illegal play?
ur so full of it you have 3 aussie players in the croatian team ! we beat you but that dumbass 3 yellow cards dissallowed johnies goal and didnt even give us a penalty when you rugby tackled dukes && the handball now go home to where ever the hell croatia even is and learnd how to play football you say were made up of imigrants i wonder why they came to australia at least we arent sore losers
What the fuck is an Australian team a few croatian players and the rest from other euro countries waving that stinky union jack with a few stars look around australia is the shit of the world it looks like bombay hongkong africa and few dumb convicts spending ther money in chinese restraunts
Australians are just a bunch of bandwagoners, if it wasnt for Croatian immigrants you wouldnt of even made up a full descent team. So shut the fuck you convict pricks.
Croatia played under pressure. High expectations from our fans. Australia with their first WC i 20 years had nothing 2 loose. That's the main reason why Australia won. I was soooo happy when Italy beat the shit out of you. I felt bad for the 7 croatians in your team but god heard my wish and U lost the game. HRVATSKA ZAUVIJEK U SRCU
Wait.. sorry did I hear 7-0 in Zagreb?? Bet you australians dont remember that. You didn't know about the sport until a two years ago. You played better on the day. Croatian players always walk around when they realise they are playing a bad team. It's our own laziness we have to blame!
Fourth, Australia cheating? Viduka was only rugby tackled in the 6 yard box, 2 Croat handballs in the box, 3 yellow cards for Siminic, yet he didn't go off. Australia diving, no way. I admit that Cahill tends to flop onto the ground a lot, and that's why is one of my least favourite aussies. Yes it was offside, but for the linesman to call it, that's impossible. Only when the video was slowed down, could you see that Aloisi got the touch on the ball.
ROFL!!! Well your message REALLY shows how dumb and ignorant you are. First of all, it doesn't matter where they were descended from but where THEY have lived all their lives. They were born in Australia and have lived their all their lives. Second, four of the Croatian players left Australia because we could never MAKE a world cup. Third Kewell had not been carded in the tournament, therefore no suspension.
It was offside and he wasn't supposed to play that game due to suspension. Another thing australia is a team of cheaters 11 players are of croatian descent and harlzdude wat the hell r u talking about that croatia cheated when u people kept diving in gthe penalty area until u got a call. Losers! Croatia would have beat the god damn italians at least. But then again after croatian lost i was rooting for u guys a bit so u r not losers just have to stick with cro u know how it is.
Who cares if the goal was offside they cheated so much. I was so annoyed when I missedthe game. I missed history, I missed our golden boy with the golden goal. Kewell u are a bloody hero and one day I hope that I come a socceroos just like u
