I never predicted that Brazil will win by 5 goals. I said I would love them to score 5 goals against Croatia, meaning it'll be easier for us to get through.

Brazil plays horribly as a team.

They had 1 choke game u watch them gel for the next games.

 

[stazi]

Yeah, thats why i was hoping we'd play brazil first. I do think they'll come massively in form and will thrash us 3-0. However, I also wouldnt be surprised if they still don't click and beat us by 1 or 2 goals only.

i really hope brazil doesnt win this world cup. i was supporting croatia in the match this morning even though they knocked out italy 4 years ago lol

Croatia didnt knock italy out, korea did. They just beat them

Australia 2 Brazil 1... With Brazil scoring in last few minutes thru and Ronaldinho wishing he had a striker who can actually run ala Eto'o

 

[copious]

if we beat Brazil, a national holiday shall be born the next day.

 

[withoutaface]

Sounds like u don't do this either? last time i checked u do the same shit.

Robbie i agree with u on that pt.

Find me an example where I've angrily responded to someone tipping against the roos/queensland/broncos.

GO THE BLUES!!!!!!!! I gotta say but I kinda get worked up when people go for anyone other than Australia. I mean I've got no problem if they aren't playing Australia (ie Greece in Euro or Croatia vs Brazil or what not) and are close to the heritage of their home nation or if they themselves aren't Australian. But I feel kinda hurt when you ahve people born here yet don't support a national team. Either than or they dont consider themselves australian and for me that causes much of the racial hatred.

Thats why this world cup has been so great. Every1 celebrating was Australian. Those of Indian, African, South AMerica (some), asian were all australian and it was fucking great

^ I fink those people dont go for other aussie sports teams cause they are always winning, and it is the "Aussie Spirit" to go for the underdog. And now, for once, we are the underdogs. But saying that we'll prolly end up winning the cup and RULE ALL SPORT!!! MWHAHAHAHA...

 

[otay]

Oh yeah I should add like when we play West Indies (these days) in cricket or whatever and wanna see them be competitive, then yeah go for it. Altho i still wouldnt expect them to get all dressed up and start paintin faces and that. Doesnt mean i sometime cant go for the underdog. But with this world cup ive already found Australians goin for the teams their parents or great grandparents and forgettin about us

o watever. 4 years ago was a long time

 

[otay]

I'm not gonna be able to breathe while I watch Brazil against the Aussies...and I won't be able to move a muscle either.....lol I bet ya anything that every single person in Australia will be watching that match...

I'm so freakin proud that we won against Japan...

i suggest you breathe otherwise you'll have trouble watching the match, altho it may explain how you could possibly not move. Good to see some excitment at least and not ppl already thinking we're gonna lose.

 

[cimbom]

shooot switzerland did ok against france .

 

[tasha1188]

wow brazil only won by 1 point against croatia...i wonder if their saving their energy for australia...their obviously arent...but its nice to dream...i realy wanna watch the aus/braz match...but its at 2am...and i have an exam the next day...i wonder if i can convince my mum to let me *thinks*

but we did GREAT on monday morning...woot

i luv this pic taken at the end of the match

 

[dawma88]

i reckon the czech republic will win it, they have a very strong team.

they'll top their group and most likely (85%) vs croatia in the round of 16 and then the rest will be history

 

[otay]

Ronaldo will keep his place according to Brazilian coach. Thoughts? I know he can be very bloody dangerous but the form he's in I'd rather he than Juninho or others take his spot against us.

Oh and tasha cmon, ur in uni yeah? u dont need ur mums approval to watch it do you? Australia v Brazil thats like HUGE. Bigger than Ben Hurr

The Czechs are awesome but they lack depth, one nasty tackle to any of their key players and chances are they'll plummet. They may well have ended up winning Euro 2004, except Nedved got injured and the team fell apart. I'm sure they'll try as best to put away Ghana so that they can rest some personnel in the last match against Italy.
