1-0 to Iraq at half time. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

Ouch. Missing Hiddink?

Yeah we sure are. Looks like Houlier will be our next boss though.

Australi just lost 2-1. losers sack arnold

3-1 to Iraq. I no longer call myself an Australian. There is nothing for me to say, except that Graham Arnold is a joke. Oh well, WELCOME TO ASIA BOYS.

Iraq nearly got a 4th.

Lucas Neil was once a target for the likes of Liverpool, Barcelona, AC Milan......He's lucky he even playing for West Ham.

I wanted Vinnie Grella at Roma. I am incredibly glad that he is going to be nowhere near Rome.

Harry Kewell, touted as Australia's best player ever has been silenced by the Iraqis of all people.

Mark Viduka, overated lump of shit.

And the commentators are making the excuse. Sure, Graham Arnold is to blame, but so do the fucking players. They've been dreadful. No one in their right mind would want to coach this team full of egos, when none of them are fit to clean the boots of a fucking conference side.

Iraq are not a bad side, but yes Australia should do much much better.

Graham Arnolds coaching career:

Northern Spirit => Australian Assistant Coach => Australian Coach


In other news, Lucas Neil has been given a red card. Wow, we so have a quality defensive replacement for him

Full Time: Australia 1, Iraq 3

No Japan - Australia final. Arrogant wankers. I could have told you that we would crumble at the group stages.

Surely this aint the same Aus who can challenge for the next WC?

Underprepared, and we underestimated the opposition. Serves us right. I want Vietnam to win it now

who have you been speaking to, the Australian media, or fake football fans

I know I get a lot of shit for supporting Italy and AS Roma, but you'd do the same thing too if you see Australia playing football. They have successfuly managed to massacre the beautiful game.

All this after one game? You really must be on your period.

I agree with Jay that Iraq isn't a walkover per se.

Nope, if you saw Mark Viduka's whole socceroo career, you would agree with me. If you watched the Australia v Oman game, and if you watched the Australia v Singapore game you would also agree.

Iraq is definatley no pushover. I knew it, you know it and Jay knows it. Unfortunatley the socceroos and the rest of Australia didnt know

Well...there goes the country I was pulling for in this

Damn its all mark vidukas fault

Why are you celebrating?

Don't worry, he is always good in England. I just think that he is incredibly selfish when he plays for Australia. He is also not deserving of the captains armband either.

If you saw the game last night you'd be leaping with joy. Also he's got more credentials than Graham Arnold. FFS he went from coaching an amateur team in the old NSL that always came last, to assistant coach and then all of a sudden to coach. He's a good bloke, but he's just like Frank Farina.

Iraq futsal team is good too

Australians with inflated ego's, so 70% of you

Dam I knew I should have bet against them, I did in the first game and bloody cahill socred.

More like 90%

Australian Coach: Our squad are such a spoil boys, and complaining too much about the weather....
Viking: Iraq has its revenge on football...

So true

OK, I get that. It's just that I've never really rated Houllier.

w00t!! Go Schwarzer you fucking hero!!

Yikes. That was unexpected.
