Tim Cahill is a fucking legend, seriously best australian player ever and I would've said that a few years ago even.

Glad I have my last exam tomorrow so I can properly start watching this

This has to be the worst World Cup in terms of retarded gifs after matches.

It'll only get worse in the future. The dark side of a large usage of the internet.

Big Dukes was our most technically gifted player for sure, but nowhere near the best Australian NT player.

Why are the African teams so poop this year?

Why are the African teams so poop this year?

Cameroon wasn't surprised, Ghana shocked me hopefully they'll bounce back. CIV got this, Nigeria will slap around Bosnia and Argentina, Algeria...they finally got that WC goal.

I have hope, worse case scenario there is Africa United around the corner with France.

Africa United Half of the Algeria team is France C team right now.

Africa United Half of the Algeria team is France C team right now.

If only Balotelli chose to play with Ghana instead of Italy, Ghana would've smashed the world cup.

Think CIV got this? When they played with 2 up top vs Japan they looked VERY dangerous!

 

[JuveJay]

I don't think Japan will qualify after that loss, so CIV should get through.

 

[Fr3sh]

That's a shame really, but there is more blacks in both Colombia and CIV, so it's only natural Japan goes home. You guys should start treating your brazillians better yo

 

[JuveJay]

Japan don't even call up Brazilians any more, the last one was Tulio. There are only two hafu in the selection pool right now - Mike Havenaar and Gotoku Sakai.

That is pretty poor, but FIFA won't remove that spot, they need to continue growing the game in the region. They could take the play-off spot from CONCACAF/CONMEBOL-NZ, but likewise, the entire world has to be interested in the game, and they would rather the US/Mexico, or Nigeria/Cameroon are there than a smaller European nation.
