Chances like that are heaps harder than they look, especially when there is a lot at stake....

That's how it goes...Torres would've got it, but he has ice in his veins

YEah tough stuff witht the pressure. hes no striker. Just make amends agianst serbia

I would have been more dissapointed had it been a striker who missed because it was a poor effort to be totally objective.

But Luke once agin had an outstanding game and did himself and Australia proud. JUst would have loved for him to get it, would have been the adulation from the entire nation that he deserves.

at least he's humble about his blunder. unlike kewell who can't own up to blocking a certain goal with his arm, struck from 10m away, which rightly so was a red card and penalty. the thing that shits me off is free-to-air tv (non SBS) using this 'controversy' to stir up borderline supporters and make the sport look unjust. our team can be proud of what they achieved against ghana, and i hope they can achieve more against serbia.

Chippers and Jesus also had good chances. Good teams take those chances. We still love you Lukey pookey.

Mighty performance from Lukey, definately standing up in this WC campaign. Future leader for sure.

Lets get working on next game. Its still there to be won.

Yeah mate you did blow it, but meh some things were never meant to be. But,Just think of the hero status you would have if you did score, if you were single you'd get laid for years off that.

Agree

Davstar, you're a dickhead!
You criticise Kennedy and other players without any substance.
Behind Cahill he has the best goal scoring record in the team.
Kennedy's game is built on good service into the box.
It's not his fault we don't have good wingers in the team.
He is the leading scorer in a pretty decent league and you can't do that if you're a dud.
I think there is only one dud here and that's you by a long way!!

head up Wilkshire! we love ya. You may have missed a chance, but you are the guy who creates them for us time and time again. Your delivery into the box is exceptional. Mr Reliable we love you

Wilkshire was still arguably our best player in the game and he may have missed that chance, but several others did too. Not worth getting worked up about.

Don't worry Luke your still one of our best! Wilkshire for captain?

Gotta agree with MarkD. I reckon that shonky italaian ref drove outa the stadium in his Mazerati with a bootload of euros supplied by an indian bookmaker that was boning Warnie.
Wikos got my vote for future socceroo skipper. Solid as a fooking rock ladies.

You fucked up terribly but losing the whole game is not your fault, our dirty italin friend cost us the game

Wilko, hold your head up mate. You have been OUTSTANDING for your country this campaign and Australian fans would pick you in our starting XI every day of the week.
No one blames you and no one is pointing their fingers at you, you'll lift against Serbia no doubt at all!

Wilkshire did as much as anyone to actually wrap up the win. He played like a hero. Big credit to Emerton and Carney too. Moore and Luca$h sorted their issues out and excepting Moore ridiculous challenge to draw another yellow they looked solid.

Australia 7 Serbia 0 Chipperfield Double hattrick. You know you want it to happen.

I thought Wilkshire was our man of the match -- as indeed he is most Australian games. A one-on-one is you do or you don't, and it doesn't help when you're buggered from playing so long with 10 men.

germany ghana draw.

austrlia awin 7-0

easy as.

Easily the best player against Germany. Why should he blame himself? No player should blame themself. They did very well. PTBA

I wouldve missed aswell, and so would many other professional players... unlucky mate

its simple
germany unleash against ghana and win 3 or 4 nil
australia win 1-0
Australia advance

of course you can beat Serbia, we did...

then once its to the nockout stages who knows, maybe all ya bad luck has gone in the first two games... although Kewell qill never be doing an aeroplane impersonation on the line ever again... the dork

guys- if Ghana beat Germany- which is possible, then a scrappy 1-0 Pim style win against the Serbs means we're in. bloody hell- the luck might fall our way. Lets not die a death here- there is plenty of life left in this tournament yet!!!!!

This team can beat Serbia no question, so lets continue to believe. Whatever happens in the other game, happens.

Fire up 'Roos, we are all still behind you and loving the journey!!

Don't beat yourself up mate, you were an absolute rock and showed why you are one of the first names on the teamsheet. Definately a candidate for future captin!

No point being hard on yourself, it's past now. Next time, I know you'll bury that chance mate. C'mon lets beat the Serbs and Ghana smash ze Jurmanz!

Not your fault mate, you still did very well. You're a brilliant player, don't beat yourself up to much :) We're all behind you buddy./

not his fault. thats football man. ive seen strikers miss those, he had a good first touch and did well to get in that position, a shame he couldnt finish but he was dominant on the right

how many times have i typed here and said Kennedy is a dud if that was any other striker on the follow they would of finished it with an open net.

I blame josh having no impact on the game imo. But We played well and im proud of how we played.

Nobody blames you Wilky, you are a credit to the Socceroos and you were one of our best on ground.
