Still doubt they'll give whoever they play in the qualifier a shock though!... that must have been hard !!FaninOz wrote:Seems to have been missed on here but Australia have already qualified for the World Cup in South Africa. Hope that England do make it to join us!
they're in th'asian one now I think, so in theory it isn't AS easy. THough there's more places and guaranteed ones too.bobo the clown wrote:... that must have been hard !!FaninOz wrote:Seems to have been missed on here but Australia have already qualified for the World Cup in South Africa.

Who was in their pool ?
Oh .... bravo then.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:They are indeed in the AFC now.
They and Japan sure showed Uzbekistan, Bahrain and Qatar who's the daddies of Group 1.
Bloody hell, that's why they performed so poorly! Fancy fielding a set of rugby players in a cricket competition. Ah well, arrogance is as arrogance does.Verbal wrote:You've forgotten the 20/20 walloping the Wallabies have already taken. Ho Ho Ho!
You forgot to mention the frostbite that spectators may get at an evening game in Melbourne at this time of year.Dujon wrote:Bloody hell, that's why they performed so poorly!

On the football team - Dave Sutton's barnet is correct. Still, for a nation where football ranks below netball, baseball and darts in the country's sporting psyche, they've not done too badly. 7 games, 7 clean sheets in a 5/2/0 display to date. Melbourne hosts the last game, which is versus Japan, in a night game next Wednesday at the M.C.G.. Given that they have both already qualified it'll be interesting to see what sort of crowd they draw. There are two reasons for that comment; the first is that Melbourne can be pretty cold at this time of year and the second that Sydney hosted the game earlier this week (also a dead rubber situation) when not even half the 80,000 stadium seats were in use. Then again Melbourne tends to a bit more sports mad than Sydney, so you never know.
Whatever, I really do wish the 'Socceroos' all the best. No one here claims that the team is the equivalent of Brazil or Spain (or even England for that matter) but these little successes do engender press and television coverage, which is no bad thing in a land where A.F.L. and the rugby codes reign supreme.
So why the fook are Kazakhstan in European qualifying?Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:They are indeed in the AFC now.

Its obvious aint it? Because Asia doesn't quite stretch that far!superjohnmcginlay wrote:So why the fook are Kazakhstan in European qualifying?Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:They are indeed in the AFC now.

Because we couldn't have 'em knocking either the Aussies or Japan out of the AFC group? It just wouldn't be cricket.superjohnmcginlay wrote:So why the fook are Kazakhstan in European qualifying?Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:They are indeed in the AFC now.

Because England needs at least one game they have a chance of winning? Let us be honest here, Croatia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Andorra? Of course they have won them all.superjohnmcginlay wrote: So why the fook are Kazakhstan in European qualifying?
Like some other "Central Asian" former Soviet republics, they were given the choice of aligning with Uefa or AFC. I think they did one qualifying campaign in Asia then decided to join Uefa, apparently through ambition (bigger names, etc)superjohnmcginlay wrote:So why the fook are Kazakhstan in European qualifying?Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:They are indeed in the AFC now.
