    [Asia] 2010 World Cup qualifying thread

    I really don't have an answer for the first question and it has been on the minds of people from this Oceania region for a while because they always had to take a tougher route. And i see your point where it wouldn't be fair if a bigger team got through it is bound to happen. I guess the...

    [Asia] 2010 World Cup qualifying thread

    Just came back from Wellington (New Zealand) and I'm still shattered. This tie was ours to lose, plain and simple. The arrogance took over the hunger and desire that was shown over two legs against the Saudis and its a shame. Our players choked when it matters and its tough on us fans this...

    Big disappointment indeed Fred, I was pulling my hair throughout the game especially the second half where the Kiwis couldn't breathe. The team did well over the game, even though a better would have punished the slack defending at times. The boys should have scored because all that dominance...

    Its essentially the same team and no they aren't as good because they don't play the same type of football. The players that made the difference back then are still here except for arguably one. Also played some games that were very promising like the first leg, the Australia game and the...

    Thanks Fred. Well I didn't think the team had it in them tbh, this group (or any bahraini team for that matter) has not been known for either its resilience perseverance. Down twice in a hostile environment where better teams couldn't do it. This is the best chance we will ever get ( since I...

    Bahrain 2-2 Saudi What RESULT!! Daam It feels good kicking them out of the world cup that way. The boys played well even though we could've wrapped up the result in the beginning of the second half but there was a lack of concentration in the counter attacks. For the ppl who do know whats...

    Just got the tickets and i have no idea where i'm sitting. Somewhere in the reserved seating if am not mistaken. You guys heard about the betting scandal with brebner, muscat, and moore? They fucking gave them fines! FINES and a suspension to brebner (4 games!) That is the biggest load of...

    Completely agreed about the grassroots aspect. That area of development has been lacking for years and honestly football as whole has been forgotten up until a few years ago. Like it or not the A-League is serving a massive purpose and thats generating interest in the game again especially...

    i will definitely check it out soon but i just to figure out how many of the guys are actually going to the game. I always thought that it won't fill out and i would be able to get tickets later. If 100,000 come along the japanese will get a belting.

    ohh fuck i better move my ass then and check those tickets. It will be great if close to 100,000 turn up in Melbourne while they don;t even fill out the SFS or suncorp in sydney and queensland.

    [Asia] 2010 World Cup qualifying thread

    forgot to comment on this game. Big performance by Bahrain and it warranted a 2-0 scoreline at least, but just like before the team does well only for one mistake to ruin all the good work. I didn't expect that performance especially as the socceroos had almost a full squad. if the green and...
