AFC Asian Cup - Final: Australia v Japan

[PTizzle]

Ah well. Just a shame, might have inspired some more Aussie interest in soccer.

Good game at least, heart in mouth stuff towards the end.

At least we have some hot supporters...

Was gonna mention this too, ladies doing us proud

 

[Warsaw]

......ffs.

 

[OzBomber]

Going to bed. Get up for work in 2 hours. Fuuuuuu-

 

[RickSanchez]

I think Carney knew it was his fault when he was up for the FK.


Anyway, i'm off before i start going off. Thanks for the time boys.

 

[Ray Nolan]

Just goes to show if you are the better side on the night you need to take your chances. We didn't. Absolutely devastated.

 

[Leon]

Shattered. Gutted.

What a lost opportunity. So many chances to win it and it just wouldn't go in

Heartbreaking, but they were fantastic

But.....faaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkk

 

[Tigerdrive]

When do we ever get a break .

Carney is a ****ing dud, unforgiveable.

 

[Leo Barry You Star]

Well done Japan

Clearly the best team in Asia

 

[GrandBlue]

Ah that's a damn shame.

Stay on your man, Carney. That was s**t.

Kewell could have done better with some of his chances as well.

In the end, Japan deserved it. Both good sides and it was always going to be one of us.

 

[Doctor Feel]

One of the better games to watch thats for sure. I think we played alot better now than we ever did under Verbeek. Far more convincing. Plenty to work with, the aging list is a concern though.

 

[Allbetsroff]

Usual suspect spraying absolute sitters, though his ball holding game was great.

 

[TheStinger]

I said it about an hour ago, this match was always going to come down to a piece of madness which gives away a goal. Enter David Carney. To be fair though, that was a fair volley. Can't fault that.

 

[saintkildaman]

Their keeper was a dead set w***er too.

 

[mighty tiges]

As others have said we only have ourselves to blame for not scoring and then it takes only one mistake or should I say one total and utter brain fade by Carney to throw it away. One that got away.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Their keeper was a dead set w***er too.

He was Luke Hodging it up with the famed grimace, letting everyone know how tough he is.

Chest beater of the highest order.

 

[dogbloke]

Devestated

They didnt deserve to win imo. We were clearly the better team. But thats football for ya. Quality finish though for their goal. The ball just wouldnt go in for us either

And who the **** is kilkenny?!? total plonker. Stupid sub imo.

Well bring on 2015. Where this feeling will drive us to winning it.

 

[Ray Nolan]

Their keeper was a dead set w***er too.

He had an awesome game, get real FFS.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

This country is cursed in this sport.

 

[saintkildaman]

Bosnich is a s**t commentator, in fact more the fox sports team are.

 

[saintkildaman]

He had an awesome game, get real FFS.

Yeah, BOG, still a w***er.

 

[saintkildaman]

Culina>Valeri

 

[Doctor Feel]

This country is cursed in this sport.

Will make it all the sweeter when we actually win something.

 

[TheStinger]

There were no rumours of rifts in the camp? That's because you didn't start any Slater you pillock.

 

[Leo Barry You Star]

Yeah, BOG, still a w***er.

Asian Cup winning w***er

 

[Leon]

In spite of how shattered we all are I thought it was a terrific performance by us.

Neill was outstanding, Kewell was always dangerous (yes he should've buried that chance), Matty McKay had a great tournament, and I thought Jedinak, Wilkshire, the Og and Valeri were all terrific tonight as well

Essentially it was a great performance that lacked finishing and a little luck

Well done Australia, you have done us proud
