Why the hell is Australia so overrated?!

[teammelli34]

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.

hm so iraq is better than iran then?

I think within AFC they are overrated, yet it still remains a decent side for quite a few yrs now.
As mentioned before they were Italy's equal if not better in WC. Iran's defeat of them in 97 should not lose any of its luster. That was one strong side, with a young kewell and viduka. Does anyone remember the Confederations Cup then after Iran had just eliminated Aussies? They stormed straight into the final convincingly defeating strong opposition (somehow Saudi's managed to defeat them though after conceding 8 goals in previous two matches as usual )
Lol, Aussies have some sort of Middle Eastern complex.

ehh there still not gonna win the asian cup thats pretty much a fact ..

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.

yeh, exactly, hopefully we wont have to face them cuz i think they'll beat us if we face them.

shahin k, oz have so much class they know when to step up their game. As much as they hate them ive still got them down as favourites, and if you're the betting type I RECKON NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT SOME MONEY ON THEM! they'll beat thailand and go thru over thailand on head to head.
