You are an idiot. Even the English have stopped making references to the war and it was more relevant to them than us.

I guarantee you that at least one publication will run with the headline "Just don't mention the war" if we get a result out of the game though.

In fairness, it's not the players doing all the talking, it's these idiot pundits and former players. In fact, I've never even heard of this plonker.

The former players shooting off thier mouths have no idea what they're on about and in fact, many of them were part of the class of 94 that crashed out to the unfancied Bulgarians and the 98 side that lost to Croatia. So they can hardly talk about Germany's success when they were letting down the proud nation.

Beckenbauer (the man who we should be listening to) said that this game could be both ours, and Germany's most difficult match and he expects a great game.

It's not worth getting worked up about that other bloke who's about as knowledgable as Andy Harper.

I love all these comments coming from Ze Germans, I honestly think we're a chance. If the smaller Asian teams have taught us anything then its to never underestimate anyone.

It sounds almost like it is their 'divine right' to beat us.

Hmmmm - I've heard that before somewhere!!

I fail to see how any Australian could get angry at this when it's quite easy to recall the complete disrespect we have shown to Asian opponents in the past.

FIRST it was injured Germany skipper Michael Ballack ridiculing Harry Kewell for being an inconsistent under-achiever in a dismissive interview with Alpha magazine.

Now the German media have emerged en masse to pour scorn on the Socceroos with key defender Per Mertesaker also chipping in by damning Pim Verbeek's men with faint praise ahead of Monday morning's World Cup kick-off for the men in green and gold.

The German media formed a pincer movement against the Socceroos, advancing like a panzer division to crush all hope before them.

Defenders Mertsaker and Arne Friedrich barely fielded a question about the threat posed by the Socceroos in Durban and when they were asked to comment offered only gruding praise, with Tim cahill the sole exception.

Erik Alexander, of the cable TV channel RTV, extended that concept of distain further, saying: "Of course we will beat Australia, does anybody doubt it?

"They certainly don't in Germany. We are a big tournament team and Australia are one of the minnows in the group.

"I think Australia will struggle to qualify for the knock-out phase, while we will probably reach the semi-finals at the very least."

Lieske Mattins of the Berlin Zeitung newspaper didn't offer much solace to the Socceroos either, insisting that a Germany side, which cruised past Bosnia 3-1 in their final warm-up, will be impervious to anything Australia can throw at them.

"Even though we are without Michel Ballack for the tournament, it won't matter against teams like Australia because we are too strong. We have the experience and the depth in our squad, whereas Australia are an emerging nation who has a lot to learn on the world stage."

"We are country with big players and big ambition and Australia won't be able to resist Germany for a whole 90 minutes. They saw that they lost 3-1 to USA in a warm-up and they instantly feel we will beat them also.

"We are far more worried about Serbia in our second game than we are against Australia."



I'll tell you what, I don't think I've ever wanted the socceroos to beat anyone more than these bunch of arrogant bastards.

It is rather refreshing to see such honest comments though, even if it oozes of overbearing pride.

If this doesn't fire up your tall poppy syndrome Australian blood, then nothing will.
