Slovenia loss not so bad for Socceroos
13 Aug 2010Yesterday our Socceroos were downed 2-0 by Slovenia, a first time World Cup finals participant in 2010. On face value this seems a crippling loss at the hands of a rather unknown quantity. The Slovenians were clearly the better of the two sides, with Australia being punished for their lack of ball retention. The Slovaks [...]
Solution to the refereeing problems
22 Jun 2010Today, I will attempt to offer a possible reason as to why there has been some woeful refereeing decisions at this year’s (and indeed previous) World Cup. Of the referees chosen to officiate at the World Cup, only a select few are then picked for round of 16, quarters, etc. FIFA select officials for finals [...]
The Socceroos deserve our praise
20 Jun 2010Congratulations are in order for our boys after drawing 1-1 with Ghana, but producing a very fine display worthy of a win. A strong performance, albeit after a slow and nervy start, showed that Ghana’s trash talk about “dominating” us was a tale of fiction. Just one thing on that claim of domination before I [...]

16 Jun 2010With New Zealand sure to be in ecstasy after Ricki Herbert’s men stole a well deserved point in their opening World Cup match against Slovakia, the Socceroos should take a lesson from our trans-Tasman counterparts. With New Zealand being large underdogs, and probably written off by many before they even landed in South Africa, the [...]
Germany give Socceroos a lesson
14 Jun 2010Outclassed, outplayed and totally destroyed; an Australian team left licking it’s wounds after an abysmal loss. It started positively with Richard Garcia unlucky not to score, but just eight minutes in, the slow defence of Australia began to fracture. Neill held a good high line but his compatriots just aren’t at his level with Moore [...]
