Que?

I have to 'splain it because it involves irony.
Scoring at will in other sports that have point scores most often would entail a high score and for that matter scoring.

If we had in football results like 80 - 82 then it would not be football but basketball [8D]

Also note how small the basket (in basketball) is and yet they easily score many points. And now think about the HUGE football goal... Yes, that huge thing should be swallowing many many goals. But er... it doesn't. Why? Because all things being equal scoring is not that easy, go figure [;)]

In other words, football is football, not basketball.

Anyway....


....a very good goal by Robben....and a minute later a stunner from Tim Cahill - Q-U-A-L-I-T-E-E-E [&o][&o][8D][8D]

[warspite1]

The Aussies are all over the Dutch here......they really should be in the lead [X(]

LOLOL

Do not tell me the Dutch are going to implode right now! Back in Euro 2008 they had trashed IIRC France and Italy and then imploded big time.

They seem bipolar [8D]

They've just had Martens Indi carried off with a nasty looking one..... Cahill booked for the reckless challenge and misses the last game. If Australia don't lose this they will regret that....

[warspite1]

Australia take the lead!!!......but its disallowed...... [:(]

[warspite1]

Its all kicking off Prue!!!!

Van Persie booked for a nasty raised arm - and he too misses the next match......

[warspite1]

PENALTY TO THE OZZIES!!!!!!!!!

[warspite1]

2-1 Australia!!!!!! Jedinak of Crystal Palace buries it in the bottom left hand corner.....

Amazing stuff....

[warspite1]

The lowest ranked team in the tournament are taking the Dutch apart.....

[warspite1]

.....and then van Persie levels! 2-2

[warspite1]

Half an hour to go - its end to end stuff.

[warspite1]

Van Persie very lucky... follows through on Jedinak and gets away with it. The Palace defender is as lucky not to get injured as van Persie is to still be on the pitch.....

[warspite1]

NOOOOOO!!!!!!! How did that happen??????

Australia should be 3-2 ahead - a glaring miss by Leckie - but instead the Dutch charge upfield and the substitute Depay scores from long range. They are blaming the keeper but the ball swung viciously....

Australia 2-3 Holland

Come on Socceroos - you don't deserve to lose this.

[warspite1]

Into the final 20.... Cahill substituted. Is that it now for the Ozzies?

[warspite1]

Uh-oh... free-kick just outside the box for the Dutch in a central position......


.....but Robben hits it straight at the keeper.

[warspite1]

It's all Holland now....

[Kanov]

Pretty good game... and I'm not watching it [:(]

can't find a good stream

[warspite1]

Not pretty good - absolutely end to end [&o]
