Parties have broken out in Federation Square and on Lygon Street here in Melbourne!
Go Aussies!! I look forward to watching the Socceroos knock off the poms at their own sport! |

Come on seriously. If you've not even got into the world cup for over 30 years, and you're having parties just because you're in do you really expect to beat a country who don't even bat an eyelid when they get in because it's more than expected? No, I didn't think so.

Maybe they've got a slew of ridiculously talented rookies who're poised to unseat the overconfident incumbents. It's happened before... or so disney'd have us believe.

Congratulations! Glad Australia got through, going to be an intresting one when it comes around. Got a few intresting countries in it too: Trinidad, Tobago and Togo.
but doesn't really matter we all know England will win! They got the legend that is Steven Gerrard! |

We all know England will play Argenta at some point during the finals. Ah that is always a good game, though England was beaten by Northern Ireland a few months back, hardly a world footballing power.

Heh we won argentina the other day. One thing I've noticed about England is, the worse the team they're player, they worse they play. :-S

In major tournaments we normally "get it together", we'll always play the big countries, brazil, france, argentina and put in an outstanding performance but we'll make a stupid mistake and loss it.
![]() but as em sed we beat Argentina in the greatest friendly ever! Quality game ![]() |

Ok, now that the draw has taken place, what are the chances of Australia and England advancing? I'd say that the US and Aus. will have a considerably tougher time than England. Groups C and E look rough.

Australia will be lucky to get past the group stages with Brazil, Japan and Croatia all in the same group as us. *goes away and cries*

Sorry, Oz. You've got Brazil in your bracket. On the good side, you've also got Japan. Croatia might have some surprises for you, though.
I predict France demolishes its bracket. Yeah, C and E are real rippers - B should have a great match with England and Sweden.

If we play well, tight and good football, we might overcome croatia and Japan.

Australia have no hope with the gaylord that is Harry K
England will progress smoothly through the group stages, St George's flags will adorn car windows and council estates throughout the land. We will all start thinking it is our year (40 years of hurt and all that), then we'll get stuffed in the semis. Its a well worn script. |

Shame you are in no place to comment. Afterall any team that gets beat by Northern Ireland cannot tell anyone that they have no hope.

Don't worry, AL. If World Cup goes badly, there's always cricket. England beating Australia there was but a fluke.

I guess England winning the rugby too was nothing but a fluke.

Pah! good on the Aussies I reckon, the sporting achievements from your nation are indredible. I can't understand how there are enough decent athletes to field world class teams (and individuals) in so many disciplines. Per capita, is Australia the most successful Olympic performer? (medals per head of population) I love your country, especially now we have put you in your place (rugby & cricket
)Still, England are perennial underachievers and I see no reason why 06 will be any different. We will look promising then come specatularly undone in the later stages. Great effort for Aus to get this far, we want Mr Hiidink (spelling) to come to United when he is done with your national team. Maybe he will weave some of his South Korea magic. |

Well even though we lost the ashes, for the whole of the game it did wonders. In the Olympics, we are usually in the top five medal takers tally, and in alot of other sports, we kick ass.

It's the felonious blood. All their ancestors had to run from the cops to survive.
