Is the World Cup on. When did that happen. Round balls are for bouncing not kicking.
Saudi looked pretty good in the pre World Cup friendlies.
Looked absolutely terrible today.
Russia maybe no pushovers. Could possibly get out of the group.

Russia won 5-0 not surprisingly.
They were never going to lose that first game.
Im tipping nth korea once again they never lose in the wc
Saudi is garbage. Only really good Asian team is us and Iran. Iran got Portugal and Spain so they will be going home early. Maybe we can score some upset but that is unlikely as well
Yet Saudi were ahead of the Socceroos in qualification...

*facepalm*

Hahaha you clown... ever heard of Japan!?
Good effort by Australia.
Even though it felt like they could've got a draw at least, losing by 1 should hold them in good stead later on.
half the people on my twitter timeline are suddenly sore loser soccer fans now. it's very strange.

Push hard? Lol. That french team is overrated. And shit japan and South Korea will clown aus and iran like kids. Lol.
The French team is loaded. For an Aussie side that was expected to get flogged, to push the french and get the result they did is a grear effort.
Couple of big upsets last night with Germany losing and Brazil only managing a draw. That group looks very interesting now.
Brazil/Germany/Argentina had won their last 9/7/6 World cup opening matches respectively.

Was hoping for a Belgium v Croatia final, but happy if the smaller country wins again and knocks off another empire 'France', go Croatia I say!
Good riddance to the Empire Rose, ha...

Would have liked to see two countries who have never won one...
Happy with France v Croatia but as bear said would've liked Belgium as to allow a new winner.
