Sweet.
Hopefully we will see an exciting game and someone scores a goal. FYI : Will watch cause I like Japan and Japanese stuff. |
0-1 japan wins im calling it.
Dunno if its already over @ time of posting. |
So with the final score being what it is, what does it mean for Australia and the world cup?
|
fark 1 - 1 :(
hand ball in stoppage time from Australia giving Japan the penalty :[ |
Unlucky handball in the box.
Good result for Iraq ;) |
Remember when we were good at sports?
|
Hand ball hey. Was it intentional?
|
Is that Aus out for the World Cup?? Nope, 2 games to go. We're 2 points behind Oman now though as they beat Iraq overnight (table here). They play Jordan in the last game of the pool, so realistically we need to win both of our remaining games (Jordan and Iraq, both at home) to ensure qualification. If we come third, we would play the third placed team from the other pool in a home and away tie (currently Iran), and the winner of that would play off against the 5th placed South American team (currently Venezuela). Not good. FWIW - it was definitely a penalty. Arm was moving and away from his body. Not intentional, but pretty clear cut. |
Yeh pretty disappointing end. McKay (as usual) had a screamer of a game and was just unlucky to have that happen in the box (although I thought .au's defence was pretty woeful all round, I think they probably could have played it a bit safer in the last few minutes).
Next few games are looking pretty scary. |
