Glad to see Aussie make it. I enjoyed watching them squirm but still succeed.
Final whistle. Australia : Iraq 1:0, so the Socceroos are, against all odds just a couple of weeks ago, going to Brazil after all.
It may not have been very convincing, but it was enough in the end. An easy header from Josh Kennedy, from a beautifully weighted lob by Mark Bresciano. The young Iraqi team was impressive and deserve to go far in future despite not qualifying this time after their loss last week. Some work to do by Holger Osieck to whip this aging Australian team into shape before next year.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days
Well, congrats to Holger. I especially appreciated the way he kept us all entertained until the last minutes. Some managers would've wrapped that match up by half time, y'know?
So, the standings in group B after all results.
Japan. played 8 pts 17
Austr. played 8 pts 13
Jordan played 8 pts 10
Oman played 8 pts 9
Iraq played 8 pts 5
Jordan to meet Uzbekistan in third vs third playoff.
Edit: added in Jordan's win

Ah shame.

Do you consider yourself Australian, Leggy?
Three for me, and two for them.

Ah shame.
Pretty standard for a sad bastard to wake up unhappy isn't it?

To answer your question------- no.

Classic spot on aus tv. Caught this on the bbc world football phone in when Tim Vickery was having a good chuckle at these “intellectual heavy weights”. Sounds from the response in Brazil that the banter will be good when the aussies show up for the world cup.
The Brazilian Football Confederation has confirmed that the Selecao will host the Socceroos in a friendly on September 7.
The game was understood to have already been pencilled in for some time by the CBF and Football Federation Australia, with FIFA displaying the fixture on its website since July.
Was also talk about a France friendly.
OMG!
Thick as Bricks those TV Hosts!
"Don't they speak Italian in Brazil?"
"No it's Spanish I think..."
Yeah, maybe stick to rugby guys...

The 2022 World Cup in australia. But the Australian football:http://www.wysjg.com/australia-c-11_15/ . In my opinion, he is not looking forward to the. But I also look forward to his last World Cup event.
Croatia 1-0 over Oz.
Australia surprised me and quite frankly a draw was a fair result. The goal was offside. Oz scored one which was ruled correctly offside.
The Croats had a few bookings for the usual- throwing the ball away etc.

Wasn't offside

Great picture. I watched it live and my opinion-- it was offside.
