Socceroos bounce back

Go Socceroos

A great bounce back with a 3-1 victory over Qatar in Doha last week, so they are through to the next round, with one game remaining. A home game in Sydney against China which they should go out to bury them and make a statement.  Leaving Iraq and Qatar to play off for a spot in the 5th round.  Interestingly the Aussies could end up playing New Zealand for a spot in the world cup, lets home it doesn’t come to that and they finish in the top 2 of there group, any more games like last time and I don’t think my poor heart can take it.  On a different but same note so Italy make it through to the next round, I was hoping that the Dutch would throw the game to knock them out, cheating Italians :-)

Socceroos get beaten by Iraq

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

After a great start to there 2010 World Cup qualifing campaign the Socceroos slip up and lose 0-1 against Iraq, but a lot better showing than in the Asian Cup.  They still lead the table and look set to progress to the next round.  I am guessing the heat was too much for them in Dubai.  So to prepare for there clash at altitude there train in Singapore (Sea Level), which the heat and humidity here would have been better to prepare for Dubai, (also at Sea Level).  Should have gone to Darwin or Cairns instead of Brisbane, but winter time the weather would have been beautiful, maybe they should have gone to India and watched the cricket 20-20 world cup lol. Supported Warney.

So now off to Qatar, another HOT match then China at home which they should win, the Qatar match is a crunch match for them. 

Interestily if they finish 3rd in the next stage and then win that next leg they could be playing New Zealand(or who wins Oceanea) for a spot in the World Cup, lets hope it doesn’t get to that stage thou and they fininsh in the top two and auto qualify.
