Fifa world cup 2014

It was a boil over for the Portugese going down 4zip to Germany.
The country would be in mourning !
1st a early penalty agianst them but worse to follow was their volitile no1 defender Pepe was sent off mid 1st half being suckered in by german Muller who play acted OTT during a possesion tussle that Pepe bitterly reacted by walking back to grouded Muller for sure shouting absceneties to him followed by near on head butting Muller ! mind you Muller did over react making out he was hurt badly but to head butt an opponent getting sent off was the reaction Muller played for.
I can't stand the behaviour of both players but worse it that you leave your team mates and country to battle 1 man down, Pepe has always been a loose cannon now never to be forgotten what a goose he is in the global game.
Hard road ahead for Portugal IF they have any hope making it past the group stage, Germans 1 foot in the door.

Well 2nd games started overnight being hosts Brazil v's Mexico. Ended up 0 - 0, great effort by the mexicans sitting level with brazil in group at this stage.

Well its a early tomorrow morn to watch our aussies v's the dutch - 2am koff.
Milligan in the midfield has been ruled out due to a hammy strain - whoever Ange puts in will do their best.
Our last 3 friendlies v's the dutch have been 2 draws and a win surprisingly - they are wary of us trust me, early years opposing teams hated playing us due to our aggressive sytle of play which has been toned down in recent years to play a possesion run game, I hope we do get aggro for it does put pressure on opposing ball players in turn forcing errors. Mind you the Dutch have 2 of the best players in the modern game being RVP and Robbin.
Cahill is always a concern for opposing defenders as long as we can service him well enough we could snare a goal on the counter attack, fingers crossed !
The rest of the boys have to dig in

Soo close
yet soo far
What a awesome effort by the boys against the might of the dutch
A good spectacle
Australia dominated the game, but missed easy shots, while We let the dutch have 2 relatively easy goals
Proud of the Soccerroos, just awesome

Riegning chapioms Spain lost again, and are out of the tournament , like Aust
Could be a interesting game next Tuesday

Can someone explain this to me.

Apparently everyone is celebrating our "fantastic" effort of being defeated 3-2....

Given Australia has a population of 22 million and the Netherlands is about 17 million and our sporting focus as a country i would have thought we should be pretty disappointed with a loss.

Why do we celebrate mediocrity when it comes to Australian Soccer and Tennis?? Yet punch above our weight in so many other sports???

Cause we didn't get ass raped like Spain did...playing a sport Aus is not that good at.

The might of the Dutch.

That's something you don't expect to hear.
