For an Australian sporting team captain, rather than saying we'll go down fighting -- remember, this is Serbia, not Germany -- I'd rather hear the captain say losing is not an option, and that we aim to win.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article 'Roos Will Go Down Fighting'?
AUSTRALIA captain Lucas Neill has vowed to fight to the end to keep his country's World Cup dream alive when they meet Serbia in the crucial final group clash overnight.

Have your say.

Just get a win, f the rest.

should've done it from game 1

i can't stand Lucas Neil as captain

We should not be "going down" any fucking where!!!! Fight to win, not to go down with pride!!

Umm, how is his saying that the Socceroos are going to fight to the very last to get through to the round of 16 saying that we are going to give up? Did you read all of his selected by the media quotes? He actually said that we are going to do everything we possibly can to get through to the next round in this game and if the result from the other game prevents it from happening then at least we gave everything we could.

I agree that we should have done better in the game against Germany, I agree that Wilks should have scored that goal against Ghana. But it didn't happen - so now we are not in control of our own destiny and must rely on 1, beating Serbia & 2, the outcome of the other game being in our favour.

I'd rather we didnt go down at all.

I'll stand byt Neill here. What the f is wrong with you people. He wants to win, his effort in the Ghana game showed that he took it personnaly.

I say just go for the biggest win we can get and hope the rest works out.

We need to win, but this still might not be enough. Im thinking this is where Lucas is coming from?

Not on any serbians anyway 8-[

cmon Lucas lead us to glory!!!

Well at least it will be over soon ...... Just more hype.
Its possible of the three world cup squads these will be the worst performers .... even worse than the semi-professionals of 74. I just wonder why we blew all that money on them.

:-s In 1974 we played 3, lost 2 drew 1 scored 0 conceded 5.

In 2010 we have played 2 so far lost one, drawn one scored 1 conceded 5 with the possibility of finihing with 4 points.

How can you say 1974 was a better performance.

:shock: God I hope you are joking.

C'mon Aussie, let go out there and kick some damn goals. Aussie Aussie Aussie!!
