Harry did OK...but only OK. He certainly looked slow at times and some of his crosses were loops into the playing area as opposed to a decisive direct pass. The one thing he did do well was to keep the ball (a valuable asset in a match against a team such as Uruguay). But having said that, I don't think Kewell will start in the Sydney game. I think Hiddink will give him maximum time time to recover and bring him on late in the game maybe as a game breaker...if things are tight. He has the skill to run at players...

I disagree with El Stinger's perceptions re. Viduka. I thought Viduka had a very good game. He was a target and showed for the ball. Archie Thompson (the only non-european playing player in the Aussie squad) was a revelation and a thorn in the Uraguay defence in the first half. He would also prove to be an asset toward the end of the game in Sydney. Aloisi will start beside Viduka in the Sydney leg.

C'mon Aussie!!!!

Most Aussies tend to think that Viduka is some sort of God and even SBS gives him too much tv time. that! His record speaks for itself, NOT GOOD ENOUGH! 6 goals in 32 matches?? And all Aussies think he is such a great player, mate, get over it. Harry at 15% is 10 times better than a fully fit Viduka. Please. Enough. Viduka is sh1t, get it through your heads. He should never be captain, Im sure if Harry was fully fit, he would have the arm band. Viduka Sucks, nuff said.

Have to agree about Viduka.  I didn't realise he was the Aussie captain to be honest, that surprises me.

He's got a terrible attitude, hardly captain material.  He plays when he can be bothered and even then he plays for himself not the team.

Maybe if Kewell were made captain he woul dput in better performances for Liverpool. Hes not done badly for his comeback and he even set up the third goal nicely against Anderlecht.

1-0 is a dangerous score for Australia. Not scoring away in this kind of games is complicated, since you need 3 goals at home to pass if they manage to score one. Traditionally Australia's fate to qualify is unfair. They always have to earn their ticket against teams like Uruguay or Argentina, who are the trickiest in the world and tend to make ambushes in their stadiums.

Did Aloisi play btw? Good luck for the Aussies in this forum. With all the respects I preffer a classic team like Uruguay (which is not spelled Are you gay) , former world champion, than the Aussies. But I also think something must be done with this unfair qualifiers Australia has to face. Why should they play with one of the American teams after Brazil or Argentina, when there are teams that are getting to the WC beating Slovakia or Switzerland (Slovakia has been decent until yesterday, they even beat 2-0 Germany but are less team than Uruguay).

El Stinger...I respect your right to an opinion, and I'll have mine too...thanks.

IF you wish to denigrate the name of Uruguay by such a negative connotation, go right ahead. I'd prefer to be just a tad more respectful. (I'm becoming so laid back in my old age!!)

I'm originally from South America, so I can call them whatever the f.ck I want.

BTW, Viduka sucks.

You can call it as you want mate, the mods are the ones to put limits. But give a better reason than you are originally from south America, I spell right the names of every country of my continent

Aloisi played, came on for the choker Viduka. Did better in 20 mins, than Viduka's 31 games.

Being Australian, I'd obviously rather see us through than another South American. It will boost football dramatically in this country, and give it more exposure it deserves. We need a world cup apperance. We do have some quality players in the likes of Kewell, Bresciano, Cahill (the BS) and Grella, but unfortunately they have yet to be tested on the big stage. I'm sick of seeing duds in the green and yellow, always talking up a win but never stepping up. Lazaridis, Laybutt, Moore, Viduka, Muscat all mediocre players that have always talked up the Aussies chances of progression, but its these same people that screw it all up.

Urgay will head into the next game with a slender lead, but the Aussies need a clean sheet to even think about trying to progress. I imagine Kewell will be used as a 2nd half sub to give him the most recuperation possible. He will just be used as an impact player. Hopefully Viduka will not be fielded at all, because he is a no impact player. Kewell (not a striker) in 18 games has scored 6 goals in his entire International career compared with Viduka, 31 games for 6 goals.

1 nil is not a dangerous scoreline, its definitely gettable. That said, Urgay need a solitary goal, and if they got it, then THAT would be dangerous, and downright difficult. There would be no way Aussies will come from 2 goals (1 away) to score 3 against Urgay. Australia will have to score 2 goals to progress, which has never been done before to get to the finals. 1 goal, maybe. 2 goals, achievable. Conceede an away goal, goodbye another WC finals campaign. You can't blame Hiddink this time.

Nah, I am South American, but the whole Urgay thing was from the Simpsons. Remember that episode when Homer looked at a globe, and laughed and said, "hehe, look at this country...You Are Gay (Uruguay)" lol I've been calling them that ever since.

[wee_boi888]

Viduka played alright mate, had the only two chances in the box and had a nice free kick saved. I rate him...but thats cos I was a Knights boy back at the old NSL - he definately will play unless injured stinger cos hes the captain. You forgot to mention Archie Thompson in the class players we have too, he is class and a nice guy from what ive seen of him. He should be playing somewhere in Europe.

Way to change my words around to suit you Lando!!! With that comprehensive investigative journalistic approach, you could work for The Sun.....


Ever heard of a little thing called migration?

Don't know which game you guys were watching, but I thought Kewell was hopeless!  His kicking is absolutely pathetic, don't give me those about how he's unfit, he has more than enough time to practice kicking in his own time but to see him kick like that you wonder how much time he has spent doing kicking practice at trainning.
Not to mention his laziness and loses the possession of the ball numerous times.

And regarding to Viduka, he is our best player with the most experience, so that's why he is the captain

LMAO

Viduka and Kewell were both useless in regards to passing. Viduka is useless up front, holding the ball, shooting and as captain. Viduka is old and phony. Kewell has always been world class, just not at Liverpool yet. At least Harry will be around for a while, Viduka is a fat pig who needs to realise he is better at lawn bowls than as a footballer.
