still need to be sharper if we are to have any chance of beating anyone in the world cup.

^^^ We sure do.

Was a top game - then we got our goal - then it kinda got boring.

Anyways - bring on teh World Cup!!!!

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE - OI OI OI

Well i have to say that now we have a really strong team, consider last night some of our best weren't playing and that was only a FRIENDLY match.

At least we're going to Germany and looking into our back ground soccer isn't so popullar here unlike most others continents, their team has more moeny to spend, big sponsors, die hard fans that's why most of our best players are playing oversea which is good for us anyway.

Really looking forward to AUSTRALIA VS JAPAN.

Yeah we suck so bad we've beat European and World champions

Australians have played in international teams since the 1850s, that's right 156 years of Australian international football players.

I would hazard a guess that every country in the world plays and we're one of the few in the World Cup.

We'll win the World Cup, maybe not this time around but it's coming. Johnny Warren said so.

Since Australia has hired the new coach they have become the best team Australia has seen for many years, unfortunatley Russia has got him for next year. Hmm still dont know if they are good enough to beat Brazil

[slygtr]

all credit to australia they shut greece down in the first 5 min and that was it,,,the game was over..As far as the world cup gos i think australia has a very good chance as long as they beat japan in the opening game if that doesnt happen than they got no chance..

P.S i was at the game and i had 3 racist idiots sitting behind us saying burn the greek flag......idiots like that cant handle their alcohol coz once we stood up they become very appologetic......fooools ruined my night.

I watched the game at Brighton (Sydney), it was obviously full of Greeks, but when the aussie's scored, people still cheered which was good.

The game finished, Greece lost, flares still went off and everyone was celebrating. Night went off pretty much incident free suprisingly (expect for some lebanese guys that came down with a lebanese flag just trying to cause trouble).

have we beaten these teams when it actually mattered if we won or lost?

[Taso84]

Yea true remember when Australia also beat England in a friendly a few years back. You can't really jusge a team by how many friendlies they win. When it comes down to the crunch, thats when the men will sort themselves from the boys, - like greece did at Euro 2004

Yeah, those idiots dont deserve the tickets while a lot of other ppl miss out on them. I was right on top where most of the Flares went off made me inhaled all those smoke in .

well done to the aussies, they deserved to win, and they should've won by alot more.. greece barely had any chances and were never in the game, regardless being a friendly or not, i think they take the game seriously.. everyone thinks the australians arent any good, well they beat uruguay and i think there a failry good team, considering they usually make the world cup alot of the time. I think australia just might be alot better then what people think..

considering greece didnt even make the world cup lol...

whata great game... the wogs beat the wogs!!

hahahaha

[M34N]

was a great game by Australia, the Greeks hardly had a chance to score in the first half, then Aus switched to defense in the 2nd half, Greece took more posession of the ball but the defense did well to contain them.

good goal too, very good play kicking in from the corner over the box, the Greeks should of seen it coming because the Aussies tried the exact same thing just a few mins earlier. The game started to die down after that but still good overall.

only getting there and back was the real hassle of the night with some tossers on the train on the way home.

FYI I was not on the highest row possible in the 'G, but only the 2nd highest row lol wonderful view though...

[Anarkei]

although the soccer game was reasonable to watch, it's the after effects of the game that were the problem. i was working at flinders st and the actions of the crowd were absolutely pathetic.

it's the only word for it.

PATHETIC.

examples:

- a large group ( ten or more ) of greek supporters were beating a girl because she supported australia.

- greek supporters doing burnouts in the street before running up the back of a cop car.

- australian supporters throwing bottles at other fans.

this is only a fraction of what happened on the night, it was bad enough that SIX police response vans could not control the crowd at federation square.

not only did the greek fans reinforce the stereotype of being drunken wog hoons, but the australian fans were just as bad at promoting the yobbo image.

if this is what we resort to after a "friendly" soccer match, i'd hate to be around for the world cup matches.

if you were involved in the riots you are absolutely pathetic. it wasn't cool, it wasn't "fully sik uleh", it was just plain PATHETIC.

[Paradizzle]

10 guys beating 1 girl, thats f**king low. Shouldnt the greek supporters also be supporting the Australian team? I know if the dutch team came out (my background on one side of family) i would be barracking for both teams...

[ADDICTED2R34s]

yer i was going for both teams but alot off pissed aussie supporters were yelling some not so good things that would of um fired some wogs up real bad coz i know i got so angry, but lucky the cops were thier and took contorl. over all the game was pretty boaring but the goal was f*ken sik!!!! greece played shit house.
