Actually I have a pineapple on Aust not qualifying for the WC (which is the ultimate aim). Got 3.75 too. Even if we come 3rd we have two more chances to qualify.

This is going to end in tears...

7:17pm: 15th min: GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLL! Mark Bresciano makes amends immediately with a composed finish from inside the box. Robbie Kruse burst down the right flank and supplied an inch-perfect low cross to Bresciano who slotted the ball into the back of the net at the back post. Australia leads 1-0

Ah fark!!!! Was going by the SBS TV guide. They are showing the farker on delay. Half time on Fox 1. Boys up by the Bresciano goal.

Now THAT'S a 2nd half. Aus add 3 goals to their 1-0 HT advantage. It was all a bit stilted until Archie Thompson came on for Tommy Oar and then the game changed completely. Thompson and Kruse combined to give Tim Cahill a headed goal, then Kruse scored a fantastic give and go goal himself, before Lucas Neill scored his very 1st international goal after nodding in a ball that had been headed goalward from a corner. IMHO Kruse was a dominant MoM.

Grouse stuff.

If not, you can blame it on Rio

Iraq pushed Japan hard in their last match. Hopefully the Socceroos of the 2nd half v Jordan show up for the Iraqi game.

Iraq... Jordan... jeez, you get all the toughies.

The Danes had a bacon eating contest the day before and were dehydrated the day of the match.

Given their striker is Bendtner, it'd not be a surprised if it were a shit eating contest either.

Crazy Danes have always had their priorities straight

If they had their priorities right, they'd still be invading England.

Not that I've read - but I've mainly been programming, watching cricket and drinking for the last month.

Indeed they did. Recent DNA analysis has provided the proof.
