Australia's qualification to the World Cup (Analysis) (5 Viewers)

[swisstruffles]

o neill looks like he desperately WANTS to believe that our chartered flight was the difference between us qualifying and not qualifying lol~

see that guy at the airport who was yelling 'uru-CRY' at the uruguayan supporters lol~

the uruguayan team look like a bunch of gangsters..recoba looks evil and damn luguano looks like a model haha

the chartered flight thing cost over half a million dollars...and worth every cent if we qualify

 

[copious]

im sure the players can chip in a few k each to compensate SA

 

[nedzelic]

Bah, there's no need for the crowd to break out into what is essentially a union chant. Football is the game of the masses, not the north shore.

That said, I don't have any ideas of my own.

nicely put mate, although waltzing matilda is iconically australian - i mean what else can we sing? all the football songs that i know are pommy ones. i mean we can't very well sing 'football's coming home' can we?

 

[nedzelic]

Australia has basically no chance now. If only they scored ONE goal in Uruguay, or at least kept it 0-0.

what are you on??? no chance? go back to sleep

 

[copious]

I wouldnt be surprised if Waltzing maltilda is sung. I remember when i was at the bledisloe cup a few years back, you certainly feel a bit more buzz after hearing 80k people singing it.

How does everyone reckon the nation will react if we make it through? I remember during the WC the city CBD was going off, it was like the olympics. I'll be cheering on with my Australian Cricket jersey, the next best thing lol.

hey mate, "old soccer; new football" - no SA anymore - it's FFA

Yes the CBD will go off *crosses fingers toes, balls* if we make it. i know we are planning where to go directly after the game as we need to get back down to 'gong at some stage - not until the next day fo we qualify i can tell you
party all night long!! i have not drunk since the last week of term last term - i'm saving it up!

 

[stazi]

oh i cant wait. now i need to find someone to come out with.

 

[stazi]

I think I'll go to Manning Bar.

 

[Numero Uno]

waltzing matilda is the worst shit ever.

if anything that would demoralize me
no wonder those wallabys are losing all their matches

 

[bJ_Bhoy 87]

^ perhaps singing a song synonomous with the wallabies is not the greatest idea after all. Lets face it, Australia is not a chanting and singing nation. Trying to turn it into one before Wednesday probably wont work. Lets just stick with yelling "You are a wanker" at the Uruguayans, that usually works.

 

[nedzelic]

nah, we gotta yell stuff en espanol
like: tu mama es puta!
es maricon!
quiero cojer tus chicos!
et cetera

and le kiro taco bell

[RanyofuKenyan?]

Stas you bumbling fool, stop trying to mask your incompetence with hollow homosexual jokes.
I am not a bundle of sticks nor have i ever been.

 

[LMF^^]

oi faggot, i'm not queer. lol lol lol gettit? you queer-o taco bell

Fo shizzle the funnizzist shiz I've ever seen in my nizzle.

 

[johnny_87]

To settle the conjecture, FIFA DID NOT "give us" the second leg at home. It was a lottery ball-type situation.

 

[bJ_Bhoy 87]

No, but it shows that they were being impartial, and if they did have a hand in it, surely it would have favoured Uruguay, as the Aust. media would have it. My point: No cheating has occurred (unless there was bookmaking or drug action that I and the rest of us are unaware of)

 

[swisstruffles]

im shitting myself already with nervousness already...im thinking of not watching the game cos id prob get a heart attack..not knowing is better than knowing in some cases..dont call me wimp lol

Today:

Looks like things are going australia' way. I'm interested in what has happened to make the odds so much better in Australia's favour.

I'm getting so fucking psyched for Wednesday. Can't fucking wait
I'll def have to go some place public. Fuck, I have to find mates who have finished exams already. Will be tough.

Odds again increasing in our favour!
1. AUSTRALIA 2.25
2. URUGUAY 3.15
