I've watched a couple of games. The Aussies play again on Thursday, doubt we will win though. My tip is Brazil to win the final.

I always barrack for the Aussies, regardless of which sport it is. :mrgreen: I have no clue about the rules or anything else with "football". I can follow various other sports though. It is hardly worth watching the Aussies if you don't understand what is going on. So, no, I haven't tuned in to this. Just wondered who was following it.

Watching with one eye now. Portugal v Germany. 3-0.

Australia played very well, from what I read, even though they lost. Both my kids played soccer for years and I love the game. Rarely watch it unless the time suits me. Unfortunately, the time doesn't always suit.

That's a replay of a game played live last night. Wanna bet me on the outcome.

I turned it off to watch the news so I googled the outcome. Germany won 4-0.

Yep watched a few.

Saw the German - Portugal game. Renaldo as one man does not make a team. The silly prat that got sent off needs to spend some time at homing with mummy to learn some manners. It's a football pitch not a bar. Dropkick.

It is very later here when they one, from 10pm to 4pm. .... cannot make the last games unless it's not a school night.

Australia is he lowest ranked in the world cup. Let's show them some real aussie ... don't make the mistake and underestimate us.... stuff and beat a few of the buggers.

I look forward to the day we win this... then we own every sport at sometime other than the few only the yanks play.

Referees and the crap that FIFA allows and supports is ruining the game.

They are just about the only sport left that refuses to use technology to assist the ref.

I have seen quite a few errors in the couple of games I have watched.

Mexico's goal keeper had a great game last night.

I saw part of the Mexico v Brazil game. Mexico's goalie was brilliant.

I hope the Aussies beat Holland so that pig Verbeek can eat his sour grapes words.
