Adam 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 A friend brought up a great point last night, Tim Cahill's stock has just risen a great amount after scoring those two goals. I assume he'll be getting much better offers from clubs in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deancoles 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Problem for Cahill is that most "big" clubs have a Goalscoring midfielder, might be a good Paul Scholes replacement at Man Utd though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CurryMan Report post Posted June 13, 2006 I missed the Australia - Japan game was Cahill only a sub and why if that was the case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Cahill was only a sub, yes. I think Guus Hiddink wanted to start Wilkshire again, he's in love with that kid. I assume that Cahill will start against Brazil, and that John Aloisi will be subbed on late in the game again if we're in need of a late goal. I'm a lot more confident about the Brazil game today then I was yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must be the only one then, we've had him on the transfer list for 6 months and the only interest was from Blackpool, his contracts up in 2 weeks and he's been talking of going back to Australia.

Adam 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 I don't know what Hiddink sees in him either. But, In Guus We Trust, the man's a cult hero down here now. I'm putting an Aloisi jersey on order this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Much as I like Australia, Cahill shouldn't have been on the pitch to score his superb second goal. And to Chave, Koroman did you proud eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k thx 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Koromans not even a Pompey player any more! Bastard. He'd have done me proud if he got injured after 10 minutes, scored right at the death then disapeared at the final whistle. Actually, by all accounts he's a good player, but still. No more loyalty from me unless he signs with us. Kudos to Aloisi, at least he stayed with us for a few seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Brazil is amazing. Haven't scored yet, but every time they bring it down it seems like they've got a great chance. Ronaldinho is simply ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Kaka (second only to Loco in best name area) scored. Croatia's building pressure in the 55th minute. I'm still very angry and saddened about the US loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted June 15, 2006 I'm very pleased with the US team's performance They're well on pace to match their '98 performance. Just need another 0-3 score against Italia, plus a loss to Ghana, and they've got a shot for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 Whatever. Americans are never really that jazzed about international play, nor are we jazzed about soccer, so when it comes to international soccer, it's just plenty of apathy. So what if Felonies! is better at running up and down a field than the USA? We have bigger fish to fry. Also, I hear that Europeans treat Team USA like shit. That's classy, guys.

Because they know we have all of this damn talent in football and just come off like, "Who cares, it's only soccer right?" They deserved to be treated like shit. They showed no life in the first game of the World Cup. Hell, the teams that know they have no shot in hell of scoring a GOAL showed more life than Team USA in game 1. We have no bigger fish to fry in sports because when it comes to competing against other countries, we roll over and die. Good thing things on this planet aren't completely decided by sports else we'd be a third world country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
