Yep, I think we'd be bitching about that in the same circumstances. Addy really thought he was on his bike when the whistle blew and so he should've been.

long 45 for Aus coming up. They have been hard done by in  the first half, penalty first minute, red card tackle,. Hope than can hang on

Would love to hear the Aussie fans chants etc, especially with the way the world is treating them at the moment. 

Bad sadly...

Some of these Ghanians (sic?) are beautiful with the ball at feet.  Really a difference in class.

CNN were right.  Aus with the 3rd most overseas fans in SA.  The stadium is full of them.  Brilliant effort.

Hard to work out what Ghana are doing banging in constant long shots when they could destroy Oz down the flanks.

ghana trying to break some sort of record for most goal attempts in a match.

Interesting tactic, possibly more effective if it was not schwarzer in goal. bigtobz2010-06-20 03:25:04

Real chances both ends.  Aussies are stupid enough to think they can steal this.  And watch out Ghana - they just might.

Oz will have to win by at least 2 or 3 and hope Germany beat Ghana by 2 or 3.

Ghana will be kicking themselves after that performance. They got into the final 1/4 of the pitch OK but couldnt do anything more.

Moore being out is a blessing surely.
 
Was a definite red card,had his arm not been stretched at his side like that the ball wouldve gone in,the ref had no choice. Not going to try telling an Australian that though..

Allegedly

Strangely that was Moore's best game in a long time, especially in the second half when he was excellent. As for the penalty I agree, it was the correct decision and Kewell had to go.

Agreed, Moore was terrific surprisingly

Culina on the other hand was horrific - Smeltz is quite obviously the best Gold Coast player at the tournamentvaleo2010-06-20 04:06:12

Apart from the red, which I think was fair, Australia were the better team and could have come away with three points despite being a man down. I don't fancy their chances of advancing though, although I'm not very good at picking results at this world cup!

Can anyone explain to me how True Blue super Aussie bloke Valeri's winning of the free-kick that Aus scored from was any different to the horrible dive from cheating Italian bastard Grosso that so brutally robbed Australia of the World Cup title in 2006 ?

Even if Kewell hadn't cxaught that ball, Neill clearly pulls his man to the ground in front of him anyway.
