Why the hell is Australia so overrated?!

[Shahin K]

I mean when have they proven to be a good footballnation?

when they lost to Iran in 1998? when they again failed to reach the finals of a WC in 02? NO, just because a miracle coach comes and coached Australia and they reach the second round of WC 2006..

What I don't understand is that even before the World Cup many respected this aussie team..well to me they are a bunch of SUPER OVERRATED players.

they should stick to australian football

we all know what happened in 97'. The other 2 times regarding WCQs they had to have playoffs with Uraguay. They lost for korea, but won for germany (penalties i think). their coach was immense last year, but u guys have the typical iranian attitude. i really hope GN doesnt underrate Oz like you guys are doing. I still have them down as favourites. You realise they're still gona get thru right? all they have to do is beat thailand, and hope oman dont beat iraq by a few goals. they're still thru. and once they get into the knockout stages they'll dominate.

i hate to say it, cuz i fvckin hate aussies.

I agree with you.
I just hope Thailand can hang on.
the good thing is if Iraq wins or get a point and we go 1st we dont have to meet them till the final + they have to beat Japan in the 2nd round.

Let's be honest to ourselves, Australia played great during the world cup, and dominated Italy in the second round game and only lost due to a penalty kick in the 92nd minute. The team I saw against Oman didn't play like that team. And today I haven't seen the game yet, but Iraq is a good team, I doubt it was a fluke win.

LIKE I said, the only time they were decent was at the world cup in 2006..THE ONLY TIME

I though the Aussies had to win by like 4 goals vs. Thailand?

there u go, they're overrated my friend

Honestly, I was scared to death of Australia. Now, I'm scared to death of Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand. The host countries can go a long way in this tourny. The Aussies are overrated. People thought they should win with ease because they have players in Europe. And people are making excuses about the weather. I thought they had some like GPS thing to monitor their heart rate. Seems all that conditioning worked out just fine for them. All they can do now is make excuses, and watch Iran win the cup.

Yes and no, they are overrated, but Australia has done very well in the Confederations Cup, even in the last one they played decent. Let's not shoot our mouths off. Look at their lineup, they're a very good team.

[PersianMadrid7]

comparing Australia to Asia, they are a superpower.

I hate them, you hate them, we all hate them.

But they have some very talented foreign players and even though they didn't deserve to be in the world cup, they aren't a bad team.

against Iran, you can't say they will lose. They lost to Italy to a last minute penalty and gave Brazil a run for their money. Even though they play a disgusting style of football I can already see them winning against Iran.
