I asked after the first game. I will ask again after the second game.

Where did they find this journey man of an Aussie goal keeper. Farkin hopeless runt.

You just described me playing any computer game ever.

It's a particular bugger in first person shooters when you try to duck but instead throw a grenade, or quickly reload but instead start scrolling through your inventory.

Matt Ryan, 22, Club Brugge, Belgian Pro League Goalkeeper of the Year 2013-14.

By all accounts he's highly rated with some good clubs sniffing around him.

Or you could play Schwarzer until he's 60. Sometimes you've just got to move on.

Didn't see the game but surprised to hear that Aus actually lead Nedderlands 2-1. Looking forward to seeing Cahill's goal. Sounded decent.

Beating Spain might be a bit tricky though...

How funny would it be if Aus did beat Spain??!! Have the World Cup holders ever lost all 3 opening pool games in the following WC?? Shocked

Still, there's something cathartic about seeing the Spanish primadonnas exit after the first week of this WC. Laughing

And Atlanta Falcons quarterback, had a pretty shit season there last time out as well.

I've just seen the highlights of the Aus v Clogs match. Yes, that WAS a stunning volley by Timmy, and I have to agree with Mr K. That WAS ordinary keeping to conceded the 3rd Dutch goal. Still, it looked ordinary defending at the back to allow the 2nd and 3rd Cloggie goals.

Just checked. To answer my own question, holders Italy were eliminated after their opening two games in the 1950 WC.

France didn't score in 2002, although they managed a 0-0 draw... and Italy last time out finished bottom of a group containing New Zealand, and I'm not talking about rugby...

Cheers beams.

I'll certainly be cheering for Aus in their last game. Played well in both their matches and should have got something out of at least one of them. Hoping it won't be the same story for England.

I don't know much about the Belgian pro league.

But three possibly four of the six goals he conceded were bog ordinary efforts.

That Cahill goal gets better every viewing. Van Bastenesque. Van Basten had a more difficult angle, but Cahill's was with his weaker foot!

Top goal, but still behind RVP.

by skully Wed 18 Jun 2014, 22:58

Aye vilks, that classic VB goal DID come to mind.

Definitely behind Van Persie.

Aussie media going wild saying goal of the tournament.

by Guest Wed 18 Jun 2014, 23:02

Van Persie's is probably the best diving header I've seen.

But he is a dirty c*nt, so I'll go with Cahill.

Superb technique,

Too bad we will be without Cahill in the final game. We don't have anyone else who can convert opportunities like he does.

by JGK Thu 19 Jun 2014, 00:36

Cameroon getting trounced.

No Commonwealth or Iberian nation has won a game so far.

by JGK Thu 19 Jun 2014, 02:48

Apparenetly* Tim Cahill has more WC goals than Messi, Rooney and Christiano Ronaldo combined.
