Bloody diving, cheating, Italians...

That was never a penalty...

Well done the Socceroos...

it's only fair seeing as we had someone sent off for bugger all- and as i can recall, Australia haven't been the fairest team throughout the tournament.
And, quite frankly, a team with the nickname the Socceroos doesn't deserve to be in the quarter final...bloody hell, are they NINE? England are in the quarter finals anyway- more than one team of yours would be unfair ;)

LOL!

The sending off was a little harsh, but the penalty was a blatant dive...

And of course they do, the socceroos!

sorry, all i can see is a bunch of those furry mascot things when I hear that name...i bet they do a thriving market in cuddly kangaroos with the strips on them!
dive, schmive- we're through, and it's not a popularity contest, so wayhey! i tell you what- i'm bloody glad i was at work...

But you're SCOTTISH!

BUT YOU'RE ENGLISH! :p

Hey, at least the Aussie flag has a union jack in it!

the slightly frustrating thing about this world cup is that all the teams seem to just be making it as far as people anticipated they would... there haven't been any *real* big surprises/upsets. Being Italian, I'm pleased that Italy one... but as much as I love Brazil, it would be AWESOME if Ghana beat them tomorrow... just to shake things up. ;)

*won. That was silly

Haha.. the person who posts right after you on my friend list is chearing for Italy. I'm just laughing.

Here in my office though they're rooting for Engerrland.

there are at least 3 Italian chippies in my high street, I'll have you know :p
'Tis a debate you will never win...I've been defending my support for Italy from the age of 8 :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah, you just fancy the pretty boys :P

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no big surprises, even though this would have been a deserved one...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yep... Engerrland!

[ex-nothingto835.livejournal.com]

a) when i was 8? slightly dodgy, no? ;)
b) have you SEEN the munters we have nowadays? back in the days of Baggios, Maldini and Apolloni, maybe...Rino Gattuso has a face I'd never tire of belting :)

[ex-nothingto835.livejournal.com]

aw, that extra doubtful syllable- i want to marry it :D

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

What's a munter?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

BAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL!

And here I thought you had posters of Totti everywhere..

Totty Totti :P

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

I'm a little scared for tomorrow. People have been saying that Guana's been looking good. They might make the game challenging.

Eh, it will be what it is, right? =)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Brazil have a knack of upping theyre game when necessary...

I wouldn't be too worried...

[arctic-wolf.livejournal.com]

My mum's work is letting everyone go in an hour and a half late today, just to allow people watching the match to get some sleep. She's convinced that this somehow cursed the match!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL!

I do believe Australia has been one of the most fairest throughout the tournament so far.

Socceroos is a nickname we give our team ... least we value them enough to give them one. :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

They've definitely been one of the hardest done by by the refs... I mean, 2 penalties not given against the Croats, plus the three yellows for a red, and so many blatant dives by the Italians were given free kicks... The Aussies were honest enough not to roll over twice every time they got touched like the Italians have always done... I mean, if tripping over someone in the box means a penalty, then the Socceroos should have had a couple!

I really hate it when a referee decides a game, as opposed to the players...

[inmyocean.livejournal.com]

I just dislike when a team is singled out for no reason by someone who doesn't have an informed opinion. YES each of us follow our various teams but there is no reason to try and smear or have a go at a team just because someone thinks they can.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the side of football fandom that I don't like...

Sometimes the ribbing and banter can go overboard, and that provokes people's anger. It's not very mature.
