Even if they are just playing mind games...the little Japanese will be in a shambles when they come up against our highly physical style of play .what971 said:It's all a pshycological game. I wouldn't read too much into it.

How much are you willing to bet on that?otay said:We may not be favourites but we're certainly in with a decent chance unlike some of the views of people on this board.

Well said Komit . Australia is already the best team in the Asian Confederation.Komit said:As for the Asians - shut the fuck up. I'm sure that you will be eating your words when Japan and Korea do shit and Australia starts winning the Asian Cups in the coming years.

Sterjovski is utter garbage. The only good facet of his play is that he makes good runs, other than that, he is an absolute liability of a player. His terribly substandard passing and crossing, plus his inability to get past opponents is just ridiculous. There is no end-product to his play, and he hardly merits a place on the bench let alone first 11, akin to the likes of Jesper Gronkjaer and Danny Mills.Komit said:Sterjovski is an excellent player and does fit into the Socceroos squad quite nicely. The reason Sterjovski is there is that he can run off Viduka and create extra hassles for the opposing defence. You can put his poor crossing and passing down to a long absence from the squad - but then again, everyone's passing was shit.
I guess you mean 'lack of' for France in '02. But yeah, what you said about luck and playing better on the day definitely goes a far way in tourneys like this.Komit said:The WC is all about luck and who plays better on day regardless of their relative strength on paper - and there is recent WC history to prove this i.e. Bulgaria in 1994; Norway beating Brazil in 1998; Croatia in 1998; France, Senegal, Turkey and Korea in 2002 - so don't count out the Socceroos.
Either you’re going out of your way to be bigoted against Australia, or it comes naturally for you, or this is your attempt to humour yourself. Pitiful on all accounts.what971 said:12th June. Australia. Will. Be. Destroyed.
Go Japan!!!!
You know nothing about sport. Better players even better teams does not guarantee a win. Sure it helps, but ultimately heart, determination and will power is what does it (as cliched as it sounds), or in the case of South Korea dodgy refereeing (yeah i said it biatch). This applies to all sport. Look at the Ashes last year, the State of Origin a few weeks back, etc. etc. Enuff of your bullshit.And what the fuck does "we are the pwnage you" fucking mean. Speak english for fucks sake.what971 said:You will lose. Japan will win because they have better players/team.
