This. Happy days! We played so well. I thought Elliott was excellent. Loved Vidic's 'header' just before we scored. Unlucky, mate. They put in some nasty fouls too. But we played so well. That first half- I can't believe how composed we were!!! We were actually passing and trying to play. So proud and happy right now!

Was this shown on TV?

And are there any replays on Poor TV scheduled?

Even the Sky replays are scheduled for 2am.

Or anywhere I can re-watch this game online?

Yeah plenty of times. It was draped over the advertising boards just to the right of halfway, so was pretty prominent.

So, so good.

Fantastic!

On the sky thing, I'm one of their biggest knockers when they stuff up, but here, i'm on their side. Assuming Roland Garros was an overrun of a live match, then of course they should keep that going at the expense of shoving back a replay of an earlier game.

There's a 25 min highlight package on at midday on the Sky Highlights Channel (33) for those of you "fans" who didn't watch it live

Still buzzing.

Ha, almost slept through this if it wasnt for my flatmate who called my mobile to let him in cos he forgot his keys at 3am :D 

Another great performance, outstanding result.  Gotta say our defence when organised is pretty good and hopefully that'll continue to fustrate a few sides come the WC.  Fallon = ariel battering ram.  Some good sequences of play on attack down that left flank in the first half was also pleasing showing that we have improved from making hurried passes and losing possesion too easily.

Although in the 2nd half there were too many lazy passes and when our back 4 had possesion they sat on it for too long when the ball just needed clearing.  Almost gave the Serbs even more chances!

Happy days, bring on the next game!
COYN!  Beijing, China.

not impressed

Sooo stoked! Amazing really. I know it's a friendly blah but still such a good boost for the team. We look a lot more like a football side than the Confed Cup it makes for much better viewing!

Am I right in saying this should do wonders for our ranking?

Ranking points = 100(result x status x opposition strength x regional strength)

Result - Win = 3

Status � Friendly = 1

Strength � Serbia, 15th = (200 -15)/100 = 1.85

Regional Strength � Europe 1, Oceania 0.85 = (1 + 0.85)/2 = 0.925

100(3 x 1 x 1.85 x.925) = 513.4

Wow, awesome result! I am in Las Vegas (for 7 weeks!) and was in the middle of playing a World Series of Poker tourn when the match was on, so only just got to see the result; this definetly makes me feel happier about busting the tourn :) Pretty annoyed I missed the match though as beating such a highly ranked team is a rare occasion. I'd say it's pretty unlikely ESPN will show the other warmup games we play too, so wont get to see a game until the  world cup :(

Sorry if it's already been asked as I haven't read the entire thread (drunk and lazy) but does anyone have a link to highlights of the game? I found the goal on youtube but it was awful quality and didn't have much else from the game.
 
Edit - Ignore the Video link request I found the link to some highlights a couple of pages back. Thanks.

For those writing into Sky to complain about the replay being pulled you should also add that the channel that covered the game live in Aus is also replaying the game at the respectable time of 13:00 NZT.

I'm not the only person with a laptop and wireless in this digital day and age. Occasionally the bachelor can use such technology for more than internet porn.
It can also be useful for preventing fruitless trips to the lounge on cold mornings (although not in this case)

As if this victory wasn't sweet enough, there's also the fact that us putting the wind up the Serbians will have them training even harder in the build up to the cup.

Serbia 3, Australia 0

The best thing about this result is that it will boost Aussie fans (already over inflated) thoughts on their chances at the WC.

I was just watching Aussie Sky News and that is exactly the angle they took! The win did lead their sports news, which was cool, but the angle was how New Zealand had done Australia a favour by beating Serbia, which I don't quite understand!
