that goal we conceded was so soft.Well done lads I am very proud that was stunning football!


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Socceroos Go So Very Very Close?
AUSTRALIA defeated Serbia 2-1 in a stunning braveheart victory - but it just wasn't enough to earn them a spot in the knockout stage of the World Cup.

Have your say.

So proud, close real shame Germany couldn't help out. That first game killed us! Holman scored a screamer and Cahill deserved that goal more than anyone else.

Ghana only go through on pure luck and it is a crime if they go any further in the tournament.

Thanks for the hit out Serbia,but we got you!

im just so happy they won, ghana really dont deserve to be there though. lol as soon as holman got the ball, right before he launched his shot and scored i said out loud "cmon holman you useless dickhead" felt like suich a bad person after he scored.

Devo. Played so well if it wasn't for the pathetic first game we would be through

Well at least Holman is going to be loved now.

did us proud . .

Man, I so wish that Germany game didn't happen... We did deserve to go through!

Let it be known that I changed my stance on Holman before the world cup, anyway so proud right now a great feeling to have dominated that game and ghana can count themselves lucky no goals from proper play anyway heads held high boys

Great win for the Roos. Small consalation is that aafter their 4-0 loss they didn't finish bottom of the group.

HAHA, Shame Serbia

Was believing we could do it for a while there. We were utterly destroying a side that killed it in qualifying and has major European players across the pitch.

Shame for Schwarz that he (probably) bows out on the World stage by conceding that goal - if only it didn't matter and it was all in our hands going into the last match.

Fuck Pim and his negative tactics against Germany - and fuck the referees in the first and second matches for their horrible, game-wrecking decisions.

I would not even consider trading the Australian world cup history with any other nation's. it is just so unique,and you can be proud to call it your own.

So proud of the boys, showed brilliant spirit after a dreadful start to the tournament. We were always fighting an uphill battle after getting belted in the first game.

Well done boys!

What a goal from Holman though, I couldn't fucking believe it when it went in.

Proud!

I want the team to start building for the next world cup straight away. Let's learn from our past, get a kick-arse coach, develop young players and play in the Australian style!

The only thing that makes me happy is that I can give Holman haters shit now. :)

I didn't expect much going into the match, but my hopes were raised for about twenty minutes. Then dashed after the Serbian goal.


I -HATE- the Germans now. They almost single-handedly ruined our tournament. They could have at least scored 1 or 2 more against Ghana... but NO.

Ghana is in OUR spot.

I hope England absolutely THRASH Germany. I never thought I'd see the day when I was barracking for the English national football team.

Good effort, fuck off pim.

Agreed. Learn from this and grow. Get a good replacement and make sure the German result NEVER happens again. Don't take our Asian opponents lightly. Etc.

if it wasnt for the 2 red card bullshit decisions we would have progressed. plain and simple. so much for the other countries thinking we were the ones not to worry about in the group. easily stuck it to serbia and ghana. ghana just had a 12th man on their team and we had 10...

PS. How about all those freekicks to serbia though how was that for some biased reffing

dont be mad at germany, be mad at those arrogant ghanian idiotsfterward who are through solely via penalties and still have the gall to celebrate like champs after they get the goal gifted to them on a silver platter.

Well put mack.

WHAT NOW ABOUT HOLMAN??!!??!!????? i don't want to hear any more bad comments about him.

Boys and girls, after the 4-0 debaucle I think we have saved our repuatation in world football and I couldn't be prouder. Well done lads

The USA will smash Ghana like guitars. The most overhyped, shit team in the entire world.

Ghana got through via luck and TERRIBLE referee decisions. If I wasn't a realist, I would say it's a FIFA conspiracy to get an African team through to avoid embarrassment.

i certainly hope so, but then that means usa get to the quarter finals, FUUUUUUU

Congrats Ghana you have overtaken italy as the most hated Nation of socceroo supporters

Well done boys you did well

I personally have no problems with the USA. Ghana are overrated, on the other hand the USA are underrated.

Interesting to point out that Ghana's 2 goals were both penalties, the only team in our group to not get a red card. The only other goal Serbia conceded was a penalty. And every team in our group won a game. And the only draw was between us and Ghana. If only Kewell didn't get red carded against Ghana. At least we got our pride back.

this result just makes me think what would have happend if we had a go instead of playing negatively so glad pim has gone now!

Great performance by the boys. Holman has really shown why he plays regular top flight football and the coaches keep picking him. Just makes you realise what might have been...

Oh well. Bring on the Asian Cup I say. Here's hoping the boys play with that sort of spirit!
