Wow we are really not given any respect at all from all quaters off the world. This guy does not even mention us.
Watching media from other parts of the world, they do not even mention Australia.
Maybe their right and we are out of our depth, but it will be soo fuken sweet if we can get out of this group and stick it back at them


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Ghana Star Dismisses Socceroos?
GHANA midfielder Sulley Muntari has dismissed the Socceroos’ chances of getting out of Group D to focus on Serbia instead and the aim of reaching the World Cup semi-finals.

Have your say.

2006 should be enough to convince these fools not to take Australia lightly....

They do so at their own peril....tell an Aussie he can't do it???? What sort of mental case would go down that road?

Cmon Straya

Nation of Berth?

Has Sulley looked around at his squad?

Berth! LOL.

Good that we're under the radar. Can't wait to prove them wrong next week.

All african nations are overated Ivory coast is the best team in Africa and South Korea dominated them at home.

I love the other teams saying this sorts stuff. Hope it spurs on the team as much as it spurs me on.

Australia will probably get the last laugh against Ghana. They really aren't that much chop.

It's amazing the perceived level of ignorance each of our sides have for each other! The phrase, "we don't know quite what to expect against them, but we know they are a good team" seems to come out often from near every player from Group D about another side.

Australia, Serbia and Ghana certainly ALL are unknowns, especially in relation to each other, in some way, especially compared to football power like Germany, who everyone knows, especially in this group where in each every team has some kind of connection, relationship with German football, pretty much. Players who play in the Bundesliga or have played in, some players of dual German nationality, coaches who may also have experience in Germany or from similar football cultures etc... Aswell as the general exposure of the Bundesliga, like Bayern Munich and notability of many of Germany's stars.

And it's interesting that Joachim Low made some pretty apt comments about Australia's playing style in another article, about our being soo organised defensively that we're essentially boring and many sides have trouble breaking us down. lol He's not wrong.

BTW Muntari has had some troubles in the Ghana camps of past, in regards to discipline, he was even omitted from a squad or two, or missed a squad or two, relating to that sort of behaviour? But it 'seems' they have sorted things out now, now the main event is here. Same goes for a few of the African teams and their 'troublesome stars.'

Ha, he didn't even mention us, top notch dismissal. Interestingly . . . the Roo's aren't really mentioning Ghana or Serbia too much at all, good focus.

BTW Who knows, Muntari might be in for some niggle, come when we play them?! Especially from the galling Grella of grim and ungainly consequence. :P

New Zealand dominated us at home. You can't read too much into any one friendly match. Ghana are a strong side and will be tough to beat, but don't get me wrong I think we have a good chance of winning, and can't wait to rub it into my ghanian mates \:d/ Might even watch the game with them :)

Fantastic news!The more our opposition dismissed the Socceroos, the more fired up our lads will be to bring home some great results!Go the Green and Gold!!!!

have a chat to Croatia mate, see what they have to say

If you look at Aus v Ghana, we have unbeaten record against Ghana. And what's with other countries playing against 'local' teams? Is it just to boost their confidence from beating amateur teams?

^ confidence boosters . . .

I just hope Pim understands how to tap into the mongrel underdog that resides in Australians.

Ahhhh sometimes I just laugh at the ignorance of some of these cocky players. You just wait Muntari.

even i'll admit i'm amazed at the cockiness of this ghana team and the ghanain public :lol:

ivory coast are the most overrated team in history imo, just because they've got a bunch of good players doesn't mean they're gunna play well together

the rest of africa's alright though

What a tool. Ghana have done nothing themselves to deserve to write us off.

From day 1 i thought Ghana would finish bottom, with us and Serbia fighting for 2nd spot.

Serbia to beat Ghana in first game, then Aus to beat Ghana effectivily sending Ghana home first.

I think Sulley is a moron. Freaking moron hope he and his team eat their words and Australia win.

i'm not sitting on the fence anymore, COME ON GHANA :p

I happened to be in Germany at the time the WC draw was being done. I watched it on German TV. Immediately after the draw, the German sports program had mini documentaries all prepared for Ghana and Serbia, and so I was waiting to see what the mini documentary on Australia would look like but .. guess what .. no documentary on Australia. Not even worth a mention. Folks, that sums up where Australia is regarded by German sports TV.

I think it's brilliant, the more of this sort of stuff from our opposition the better. It will only help to fire our guys up and result in the other teams being complacent facing such a lowly side as Australia.

I am getting so pumped now, can't wait for it all to start.

everyone is getting stuck into the african sides as if they're shit, at best australia will draw with ghana and germany...but i have a feeling the socceroos will put one over the serbs if ghana put it over them. Yes i'm ghanaian but personally know a couple of the socceroos squad..all both the lesser rated squads in group D need is a bit of luck against the germans. Ghana to sneak second spot in this group sorry guys.

p.s. when comparing stats on ghana vs aus head to head. name1 full strength squad ghana has fielded against australia in the last 10-15 years......?

Didn't Aus vs Ghana 2 years ago and we won? You were missing essian only at that game...isn't that correct?

OOps your going to miss him again :-(

PS - Didn't we win?

That's just the way they are, they've always been cocky. Pantsil thinks they're going to make the semis. Even with Essien that's a big ask.

I'm cool with all the teams writing us off, it gives us a chance to shock them out of the blocks and park the bus.

neither side were anywhere near full strength for that game

When Junior Agogo - A League 1 striker - starts the game, you know Ghana aren't taking it seriously.
