Kewell won't play a minute - i reckon he's re-injured it, something's just too fishy about the way he "warmed up in the change rooms"

Lose to Ghana

Pim gives the youth a go against serbia with jediak, holman valeri, vidosic and ruka all playing big roles in a gutsy draw.

media backlash after we lose to ghana

This may all be pessimistic but after I wrongly got my hopes up for the game today, it's a road we should all take IMO

Ghana 2-0 Australia
Serbia 2-1 Australia

In fact I wouldn't be too surprised if we didn't score at all. The only reason we will only lose 2-0 to Ghana is because now we'll defend with 8 men but still get exposed.

Are you a pom?

Not entirely: New Zealand might beat Slovakia.

I got asked today when I said we could still go through "who's gonna score the goals now though?"

I didn't have an answer, timmy was our only hope but i just can't see us scoring at all now

Haha no :) I'd love for the Socceroos to prove me wrong. Perhaps I'm being a bit too pessimistic but at the moment I can't see us scoring/winning much.

A good few hours sleep and a big breakfast and I'm looking forward to us proving the doubters in Australia wrong. In our heads we all expected to lose to Germany, we need to look past it.

Tools.We will beat Ghana..again,Germany will smash Serbia, having lost that defender to a red and his replacement giving the penalty away,Serbia will be out,and Germany will exact revenge on Ghana for Ballack.Don't lose to Serbia and we're through..

Who's side are you on FCukers??

It's all the poms over in the west that are influencing you ;)

actually, its quite normal to think the worse coming from such a humiliating defeat and I just thought the worse when cahill got sent off (I really hate this ref)

But ghana and serbia are no germany but then again this isn't the most experienced german side either... Seriously, if we can't somehow work on those through balls against us, then we'll see another horrible mess like what happened with USA and last nights game.

When you think of that, it really hard to see us pushing for a goal but IT NEEDS to be done. a draw isn't enough against ghana. I can see a few serbian fans become socceroo supporters for the day ;)
