I hope the aussies do well tbh,think i might go for a 2-2 draw,VERY hard group,if they do get thru they will have done superb,my tip and a cpl of quid is for serbia to win the group tho.

All joking aside if Australia can beat Germany and get through this group they would have done exceptionally well. It's not likely but who knows ?

I think if we 'don't lose' if you get my meaning, just get in there and do the best, and our goalie can deny any of their shots, then we'll have done okay by a non footballing nation's standards.

Schwarzer will have to do his job tonight, if none of our players can score. Hey Jim, if you come and live here, one thing you will have to get used to is the time differences for sporting events, parties here to watch the Aus Vs Ger match are at 4am, just as well it is the 'Queen's birthday' holiday here (and not it's not really !) and there's no work for some.

Hi olly

i know about the time difference we watched man utd at 9.30pm kick off which was 12.30 in the uk anything later and its a no, no.

Also how sad is it that our great Queen Elizabeths birthday isn't celebrated with a bank holiday in the uk, but it is in OZ.

jim 2-1 to Australia.

I'm not really sure we can call Australia a non footballing country anymore, a few years ago yes but not anymore, obviously not to the same extent as Europe, UK S.America etc but it's very popular now.

Yes I agree it is more popular, but what I mean was that in other nation's eyes we are not a football nation. It still has some way to go I think, especially here in Victoria, you know, where 'real' football is played

I wasn't aware that Victoria was a Union stronghold

Ahhhh, the Geeeerrrrmmmaaaannnnnsssss.

You will very rarely see a German in Australia as they reckon thier SAUSAGES (Bratwurst) are far better in their homeland.

Seriously though, Go Australia. Could be a chance of an upset as the Geeerrrrrmmmmmaaaaannnnnssss always take some time to warm up.

And besides that the Geeerrrrmmmmmaaaaannnnnssss gave me and my mates a term that we always used when we played football. 'Go and Mueller him' or 'He got Muellered'

Cheers Tony
