I guess ill start my first post on the upcoming World Cup...unfortunately, i didnt manage to get any tickets, but i will be watching the games...at a reasonable time, unlike MP who will not sleep for the whole month. wish i could be there mate. its great to see the aussies coming into a rich vein of form of late, for example:
Viduka:
In March - 4 goals in 4 games, played a brilliant match in the FA Cup this week.
He's back into it, and he's larger, stronger, possibly fatter, but he's the Viduka who can take on 6 men with his back turned. As long as he doesnt have another 'VIDUKA' moment (heading it 14 metres over from right in front against Uruguay 2001), he could be in for a good campaign.
Kewell:In the last month - 1 goal, 1 assist.
Liverpool have been in fine form of late, having won their last 5. Harry Kewell has been an essential part of their midfield in each of these games and has shown some of the class that we used to know.
Bresciano:Recently: 6 goals in his last 8 games in Serie A.
Could be the key i reckon. He's started the last 15 games and played the full length of most of them. He has also scored a goal in each of our last two international friendlies.
Neill:
5 goals conceded in 5 games.
Not too bad, considering its Blackburn. And the fact is that they are undefeated. He has been playing full matches, so he is definitely fit and ready to break more legs.
Schwarzer:In the last month: Had a total barry. But who cares? after 'that' penalty save against uruguay we will forgive him for anything in true australian fashion..just like we have all forgotten that warney took drugs.
Robby Slater:
After recent form with the
microphone, Slater has definitely caused chatter on the selection commitee and may be set for a recall to the national team. What a legend.Ricky Ponting:
I believe this man can do pretty much anything. Put him in that gold jersey and he's sure to net a few. Plus he's good mates with a couple of heroes - Big Merv, Big Bad Boony and Warney.
With these men behind our team, Im starting to fancy our chances...

rumour has it that tim parr has been approached by the Australian Football Federation and has been offered a contract to become the first ever national flying goalie. mike winram is probably another crucial absence from the list.
Great to see you succumb to the blog pressure there Youngos.
I'm in agreement. Lets get Ricky into the 10 jersey. Sack 'Pppffiduka' and let him crack a few in the nets.. ah, into the net.
If anyone in the Aus side was to crack under pressure.. yup, it would be Viduk the schmuck, Still.. lets send him off to Germany just so that I won't have to cope with seeing him in Green and Bright Canary Yellow in 4 yrs time.
Poms.. Didier.. I was thinking a grander comparison would be ol' David Seamans ultimate screw up, or three... hundred. Although, I still get a laugh every time I think about the ball drifting or bouncing over him.
Keep up the good work brother.

1-2-3..
hahaha
as a possible super sub, i suggest Steven Bradbury. undoubtedly the greatest sportsman Australia has ever seen, he has unlimited potential. in the unlikely case that the socceroos are trailing a goal or two...no-one can steal a victory like Steven Bradbury.
