Voinjama Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I am really pleased about that. I look forward to seeing Australia at the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 South Korea have qualified for the world cup after their 1-0 win over Uzbekistan.Iran can almost seal their place with a win against Lebanon which is currently going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Really I thought Uzebekistan needed just a win themselves to make the world cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 11, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2013 I like Australia being at world cups. I just wish they'd do a little bit better when they get there. I don't mean that nastily. They just never seem to give it a good go from what I can see. It used to be that they weren't battle-ready, having come out of the retarded Oceanic group, but now coming out of Asia they've no (or rather less of an) excuse.

We have only made 2 world cups in recent history (and 3 in total, 1974). The 2006 world cup we had our best ever side and our best performance (of the 3 times we have been there). We qualified from our group which contained Croatia, Brazil and Japan but went out in the knockout stages to evential winners Italy (who beat us with a last min penatly from a dive by Grosso ) 2010 we were poor. The squad was awful (and still is) and the side are still trying to transition from the good team in 2006. Overall we have had 1 good tournament and one bad one from the 2 times we have made it in the modern era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind the goal when Kalac let a soft shot go over his hands. It was the most tense atmosphere I have ever experienced with the Croatian ultras up the other end with their megaphones and flares.

VillaChris Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Aussies did fine in 2006 imo. In 2010 they were quite unlucky not to qualify. Thought it was a really tough group but Serbs flopped and there wasn't much between them and Ghana. Doubt they'll do much in 2014 as their squad is in major transition between young and old.

Zatman Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Denmark getting a hiding at home to Armenia who lost at home to Malta the other day. be a pity the World Cup wont have Eriksen and some other talented youngsters and on their Denmark are a very decent team and showed this by holding their own in Euro 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 What a dodgy result that looks, as you say Malta beat Armenia on Friday and Danes are strong at home. Anyone watch the game? Okore came on at half time. Just looks really bizarre to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Meh, somehow we managed to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the season when they won the Champions League and we had Alex McLeish as manager. Sometimes freaky results happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I thought Australia did well in 2006, they were in a tough group with Brazil and Croatia and got through. They went to the eventual champions of that tournament. 2006 they were good. But 2010 they were not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I have just seen the Denmark result. I think that is the biggest shock result of the qualifiers so far. An even bigger shock then Croatia losing to Scotland. WOW is all I can say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 not that big a shock. Armenia gave a similar beating to Slovakia 2 years ago when they got to 2nd round of World Cup previous year. Denmark are a team in transition and might have to sacrifce their long serving coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Zatman we always seem to disagree when it comes to international football. I think Denmark losing at home 4-0 to a team who have never made an international tournament before, and a team who have never even made a playoffs before is a big shock. I accept Armenia are not complete minnows like San Marino, Lichtenstein or Malta but they are not a particularly good team either. Denmark should be winning games like that. But on the bright side Nicklas Bendtner won't be at the world cup. He is an odious prick. Furthermore this Armenia team lost at home to Malta last week and Denmark performed admirably at the Euros beating the Netherlands. Definitely a big shock.

Zatman Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Armenia won 4-0 in Slovakia in 2011, this was a Slovakia team that beat Italy at 2010 World Cup and performed admirably there. Armenia have some really talented attacking players but struggle due to a small squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
