DDK
whats the score I dont have foxtel
sophie
0-0 in the 41st minute

Singapore nearly scored, and they've got a freekick in a good position
sophie
Singapore nearly scored from a corner. They've been all over us. Bresh has been the best player at the moment.

Vidua missed another good chance too.
DDK
Still 0-0 ? They should forget about winning the Asian Cup then.
sophie
This is what I dont like about Australian football. We all are told to believe that we are the best team in the region and should comfortably beat most teams in Asia, but the thing is that we are pretty average and we rely on the 'big names', as opposed to working together to form a team.
DDK
What type of formation are they playing and who are playing?
sophie
Yellow to Vinnie Grella and another freekick in a good range for singapore.

DDK, I am trying to figure out the formation and the like - i'm flicking in and out of the game

Corner to Singapore

Bout time, lol your boy scored.
sophie
Singapore missed a sitter. Someone just needed to get a foot to the ball.
DDK
Sounds like a really unconvincing display, hope they get it right for the Asian Cup.
sophie
Singapore hit the post! They are looking pretty good, just unlucky.
DDK
They're not in the Asian Cup are they?

Yeh it has been. It was a really scrappy goal, and they've not had that many chances. Mind you, I didn't see the first half, but to me we are playimng lazy.

Nearly scored again, goalkeeper saved a good shot by Bresh, Dukes got the rebound, but nothing happend.
sophie
Really scrappy defending. They keep giving the ball away to Singapore.

Harry Kewell is coming on for Bresh.
sophie
Freekick in a good position. Nice header by Kewell, but too soft, keeper saves.
sophie
Singapore with another good chance, but went miles over.

Archie Thompson comes on for Bret Hollman.

Who is Bret Hollman?

Harry Kewell nearly scored, excellent chance, but keeper saved it.

At the game? No idea yet.
sophie
WHY THE HELL IS STEVE WAUGH ON THE BENCH?
sophie
This is boring.
sophie
Singapore nearly scored again. If they had a bit more experience, then they'd be all over us.
sophie
Harry Kewell scored

2-0 to us.
sophie
Oh wow the comentator is already having a wank over him.
sophie
Nick Care comes in for Sterjovski
sophie
It's still a really boring game
sophie
Archie Thompson nearly scored.

Singapore is getting tired.
sophie
Singapore is really showing some flaws in our defence, time after time they get past, they just don't know when or how to shoot, so they end up loosing the ball.
sophie
Kewell is looking good
sophie
Oh Viduka has another shot, but decides to send the ball to Sydney
sophie
Thwaite on for Wilkshire

Thwaite was my PE teacher in year 9 grin.gif
sophie
3-0 to Australia

Viduka scores a header from a nice cross by Kewell.

sophie
Nathan Burns on for Mark Viduka, games over though
sophie
Full time, Australia wins 3-0.

sophie
Have to say it was a rather dissapointing and boring game. We looked good towards the end, but that is because Singapore got tired. I'll post a match report later, but I must say that I was not impressed.
DDK
Woah we might not pass the group stage by the sounds of it.
sophie
I'm probably being dramatic, but we were not that good. The defence was pretty bad, as countless times they got past them. If we were playing a team with more experience, there would have been a couple of goals. We were good on the counter, and Kewell, Emerton, Bresh and co linked well together. I am not happy with Viduka, but he links well with Harry so it could work. I'd like to see more of Archie Thompson though.
DDK
Well it was there first match plus they have been training hard, twice a day in extreme heat. They should be right for the Asian Cup. The opposition teams would have sent scouts to watch us play, I wonder what they would have thought.

Australia grind out 3-0 friendly win over SingaporeReuters


SINGAPORE, June 30 (Reuters) - Mark Viduka scored a second-half double and Harry Kewell also got on the scoresheet as Australia ground out a 3-0 win over Singapore in a friendly in the city state on Saturday.


Australia, using the game as a tune-up for the Asian Cup, started slowly and it was the hosts who came closest to scoring in the first half.


Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer had to be sharp to stop Indra Sahdan in a one-on-one in the 38th minute and the Singapore striker came even closer five minutes later when his header crashed off the crossbar with Schwarzer beaten.


Australia stepped up the pace in the second half and it was not long before the Socceroos took the lead, with Newcastle forward Viduka heading home in the 50th minute.


Singapore pushed forward for an equaliser and Khairul Amri came close to scoring when his curling, left-foot shot came back off the post.


With Singapore leaving gaps at the back Australia made it 2-0 when substitute Kewell slotted home in the 76th minute.


The Liverpool winger then crossed for Viduka to head home his second in the closing minutes, wrapping up the scoring in the last game played at Singapore's National Stadium before it is torn down.


The Asian Cup, being hosted jointly by Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia, starts next Saturday.
