I didn't see all of the Australia vs Uruguay but i think 1-0 was good for Australia cos now we have to really show how we can play in Australia. If Australia wins the whole country will have a public holiday.....i hope

Most likely given how long we haven't been in a World Cup. If we win the World Cup there will definitely be a public holiday, maybe a public holiweek

And you Australians moaned when we were in the running for a public holiday when we won the Ashes!

Finally something that the Lions are better than you.

I think we were just hacked off at losing the Ashes. Not that I was complaining cause I didn't even know they wanted one.

We drew 1-1 with bournemouth away! Not too bad a result in the context of things. On transfer news we've Signed Nathan tyson on loan until January transfer window when he will most likely join on a permanent basis. set to debut vs Southend next Saturday.

I heard about the ticketselling for upcoming match in Australia:
87.000 tickets were sold out in two minutes.

So I guess football has an impact on lives there in Australia.

Well they know Aus have a good chance of making the playoffs. Sadly the domestic comp ain't going as well.

I think it's going okay,unfortunately Melbournwe are a bit inconsistant. :
And any pom who thinks its funny that we lost 1-0 (even though we controlled large portions of th game),how about you try winning there!

 

[Sureshot]

I doubt any pom would find it funny if Australia lost. As pom originally meant Australians.

Taylor doubled his tally for the season last night.

They are showing the match tomorrow here on TV. Because of Hiddink.

But it will be during the match of Pakistan vs England also.

For those that want to watch Aus qualify for the World Cup here is some info.

The decisive World Cup soccer qualifying match between Australia and Uruguay will shown on a live video webcast for those viewers without access to SBS Television.

SBS and the Football Federation Australia said in a joint statement they had agreed for the match at Telstra Stadium in Sydney to be shown online.

It is the first time a Socceroos match has been streamed live on the web.

Australia need to win by two clear goals to qualify for next year's World Cup in Germany after losing 1-0 in the first leg of the playoff in Uruguay.

The webcast will show the outgoing world-feed rather than the SBS coverage of the match which starts at 20:00 AEDT.

To access the video stream, visit either The World Game homepage at www.theworldgame.com.au or the FFA's website at www.footballaustralia.com.au and click on the links.
