Viduka

[windyhill]

Now i love the big fella , love the way he plays , love it that he`s a Melbourne boy ,loved the season he had at Celtic. I just wish that he would do the buisness for his country . Let`s be honest, he`s never done it at International level. I`m desperate for him to score tonight, it would top his career off, scoring as Captain, leading us to Germany.

i think it was a master stroke buy Guus to give him the captaincy - has played the best he's had for our country - lets hope he gets the goals

 

[masked magpie]

BASICS MARK - BASICS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[windyhill]

Who the **** cares

Yeah if it wasnt for Schwarzer we wouldnt hear the end of Vidukas miss.....but I agree Borat, it doesn't matter, we're in! What about criticising the hesitation from the 1st Uruguay penalty taker?

I thought Viduka's miss would be added to the 97 and 01 hall of shame.

But thanks to Sir Mark Schwarzer it doesn't matter.

I thought he was very good in the first leg but not as good tonight. He had a much better defender on him tonight but still he was able to make things happen for the players around him. He does some nice side flicks and the like but yeah i'd love him to drill one into the back of the net every now and then.
Then again if Brescianno and Emerton get that ball just a little lower on some of those strikes we would be praising Viduka for his little gives.

The way Australia play dosent really help Viduka to score. He holds the ball up and gives it of to the runners so he still plays a massive part in the side even if he dosent score goals.

Yeah look a few years back Beckham missed one for England and everyone got on his back but it's just one of those things and sometimes it happens.

As for Viduka's miss i'd say he was trying to put it into the side net which is a tough one to pull off. The keeper had it covered as well so yeah not his best attempt.

Some of his hold up play were just absolute top drawer, but he needs to score some bloody goals

And that penalty: I said to a mate at the time that if we go on and lose the shootout, then that kick will haunt Dukes for the rest of his life. Thankfully we're through

 

[guess_who]

That penalty nearly killed me!!! Tried to be tricky!! Had no where to go, thank god that we're sitll through!!

 

[dees_best]

He played a pretty decent game when you think about it.

For a lot of the match he brought the ball down to our other players whilst constantly having Lugano jumping all over him.

When it came to the spot kick I think Viduka was mentally and physically exhausted. It looked like he almost caught a divit when he took it.

The easiest way too take a penalty (speaking from experience) is too pick your spot and hit it. Once you start messing around with stutter steps trying too commit the 'keeper you put doubt in your own mind and tend too stuff it up. Viduka should have learnt from Rodriguez's penalty miss he stuttered twice but Schwarzer held his nerve and kept it out. Great 'keeping, Mark.

Go the Aussies!!!

His backheel to Kewell in the leadup to Bresciano's goal was magical.
