For me it was semi boring, probably because we are having a lot of goals so far and also because I was so hyped with Mex - Br.

Because Russia will meet Belgium next match, but Korea will meet algeria
Russia is not great team to beat Belgium
If Belgium win next match, Belgium get next round ticket
We meet Belgium last match, but maybe Belgium lose their motivation

Though we must beat Algeria, Algeria is not strong team maybe

None of that group is a strong candidate, they are all meh. I just think that Korea has an edge over them.

Belgium are just a team of individuals by the looks of it, they're all fantastic players they just don't seem to have any cohesion whatsoever. They'll get trampled at this rate against anyone outside their group.

Not expecting anything to go in our favour against the Oranje this evening, we'll give it our best shot all the same.

Ochoa has become everyone's new favourite thing on the interwebs now, particularly on twitter.


This guy is a free agent, and we at Arsenal need a GK with Fabianski having left for Swansea. PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER GAZIDIS.

i seriously fucking hope that the guy gets picked up by a big club. a showing like this warrants it.

My god that was an insane goal by Australia.
Vish024
What happened to the Dutch in the first half? I can understand letting us have the ball in order to counter, as they did for the first goal, but they seemed completely out of character.

That goal by Cahill will be immortalised regardless of the result, what an effort on his weaker foot.

so my dad was 100% right with his assumption that the netherlands won't keep up after the 5-1 win over spain.

probably a lot of taking the opponent not serious. 2-1 australia, and australia plays leagues above the netherlands.

gladi's reaction will be fun.

I swear to god if they win this match looool EDIT: too soon

Match went as expected for me. The Defense is shit. But Australia didn't play well either, it's just that NL played like shit that they were able to get the goals. Next to that, the penalty was disgusting. He was just looking for it, shot the ball in blindness and touchéd the wrist of Janmaat. Not cool. Next to that, a whole whole whole lot of 50/50 decisions went in favor of Australia. Again, uncool. That lakey? lackey? should've gotten yellow for his dive as well.

Our man of the match was Nigel de Jong, that's when you know you played a bad match. Thank god for Depay with his assist and goal. Great player. I fucking love that guy.

edit: yeah, a bit harsh. Autralia played good, I'm going to admit that, but they simply lack quality to get further. Ref still didn't do it well if you ask me. Too many decisions went in favor of Australia.
Vish024
Oh come off it man, your lot didn't play at their best but you can't deny that we were great. We made the most of their shortcomings and played some honourable football. To say we didn't play well is downright daft and frankly unsportsmanlike. The penalty was a blatant handball, it's not your usual deflection off the elbow or arm; it was right on his hand and that effectively means a penalty regardless of his intention. Leckie should've gotten a yellow? What about Robben throwing himself to the ground on the other side of the pitch? Open your eyes, just because the bigger side who are clear favourites don't get the favouritism of the ref apparently he's completely biased towards the other team. Utter horse bollocks.

That aside, it was a great game to watch and enjoy. The Dutch looked more like a team of stars than anything else, they need to focus on functioning as a unit instead of relying on pure brilliance from their top players to carry them through. gg and g'night.

Read the edit. First emotional post, I'm sure you can understand. I could've just erased it all but I decided to keep it.

Honourable? You can't use that word simply because you played a decent to good match. Cahill was disgusting with his two fouls on Martins Indi. The poor lad is in the hospital now with a concussion. Before that he blatantly stepped on his achilles heel as well. That's not honourable. His goal was of world class, nobody can deny that. I myself cheered to that goal. But the fouls were disgusting.

Yes it was a handball. But he completely searched for it. He almost crossed the backline, that's how long he took with his weird shot from an impossible angle. He got completely lucky and hit a wrist. It's what he looked for. That's, again, not honourable play. I don't want to sound like a cunt towards Australia, they played well, but not honourable. Same deal with the Pepe 'headbutt' on müller. Müller needs to stop being a little bitch. Seconds before the incident, he got a pinky finger in his face and cried like his skull just got bashed in. No wonder Pepe went towards him. Sure, what Pepe did was wrong, but so was that what Müller did. It's disgusting to cry murder and blood if a pinky hits you. And yes that counts for every side, so going in and saying ''YES BUT THE OTHER TEAM'' is irrelevant and next to that a fallacy.

I never said he's completely biased. Open your eyes as well mate. I said the 50/50 decisions mostely went in favor of Australia. That's not something to argue about, it's a cold truth. A lot of the 'well you could blow the whistle for this' moments went in favor of Australia. If NL got 'm, ref would either play on or even give the free kick to Australia. It became enervating to watch. A lot of the comments on main news sites/twitter etc. are not about the ref being bad, but about the ref simply not being fair in the small decisions. Inconcistency brings annoyance.
