Zadeva: Australias Senior National Team

Fingers crossed!

So unlucky to go down 1-0 to Slovakia to an 89” minute goal - god I hate those

Let’s hope every other team draws to maintain our 2nd spot on the ladder!

Match report - soccer.powerplaymanager.c...

Russia did draw with Columbia, and Azerbajian did us some favours by beating Venezuela, so we are stil in 3rd spot - only 1 point behind top, and also only 3 points ahead of the bottom - two matches to go.

Wow, that's a tight group!

A 0-0 draw against Venezuela keeps us in 3rd spot on the table, with one match to go.... a draw or win next week should probably be enough to qualify for the finals... last match vs Chines Taipei which will be tough.

Ok scenrios are in for the final round..

1) A win in our last match will put us top of the group - yes 1st place.

2) A draw in our last will mean at best we finish in 3rd... but at worse 5th, so would need Russia to beat Azerbaijan, that’s if Columbia and Venezuela don’t draw.

3) A loss in our last will mean at best we finish in 4th... but at worse 5th, so would need Russia to beat Azerbaijan

So...let’s just try and win! .... Anything else we rely on the other results to determine our qualification for the finals or not - Top 4 qualify. Great to still have an opportunity to top the group.

Ooohhhhh - a 1-1 draw vs Chinese Taipei probably is a reasonable result, but man, I’m not going to sleep tonight with nerves.... a single goal tonight could be the difference between finishing top of the group or not qualifying at all!!

After the draw we hold 3rd spot, but must rely on results going in our favour or a draw happening in the remaining games!

Russia beat Azerbaijan! So looks like we're through! Congrats!!

Wffheewww!

For only the 2nd time in our history we are through to the World Cup finals.... hope Australia does better in the finals than we did in The Eurovision Song Contest!

It was tough, nervously waiting for the result...but hey, we are there
Great job, mate!!

Well done!

Go Aussie!

World Cup finals here we come, but looks like we have come in with the lowest seeking.... our opponents in Pool 7 are Chines Taipei (again!), Italy and Austria, with a first up match vs Italy.

Lost to Algeria in a friendly 1-0..... I forgot about that.... whoops!!!!

A 1-1 draw last night vs Italy.... not bad - they are ranked 2nd in the world...
