Australia’s World Cup odds might look steep, but for the Socceroos a win might Read the rest of this entry »

May 1st, 2014 by G WaldorfThe FIFA World Cup is just 40 days away, and it will be hosts Brazil who run out for the game that kicks it all off on June 13th.

April 26th, 2014 by G WaldorfIt’s been a busy year or so in some of Australia’s biggest sports. Both the cricket and rugby union sides have seen a change of coach and a change of culture, and both seem to be the better for it. There has been a lot of talk, too, in the media about what it is to pull on the green and gold jersey, and the sort of attitude that’s expected from Aussie international sportsmen. So there will be eyes on how the boys chosen to travel to the 2014 FIFA World Cup as Socceroos will handle themselves, especially considering the odds facing Australia…
Much of that talk about Read the rest of this entry »

April 24th, 2014 by G WaldorfThe name Mile Jedinak is one that will be familiar to Socceroos fans: he’s settled pretty well into the side since his debut in 2008, and you’d have to say that he will likely be a key figure in Ange Postecoglu’s Australia side that makes the trip to the FIFA World Cup in Brazil in June. He’ll be aware of the odds facing Australia in Group B, but we don’t see him as the sort of player who’s afraid to tackle the tough odds…

April 16th, 2014 by G WaldorfSocceroos fans – at least those who have reached a certain age – have fond memories of Mark Bresciano. He wasn’t our best player in the run-up to the 2006 World Cup tournament, but he put in some powerful performances in Germany – and was part of a side that stood up heroically to the Brazilians and the Italians – that made him a popular figure with Australia fans. And he went on to have an impressive career with the Socceroos, a key part of the generation that many have suggested has as good a claim as any to be the best that Australia has seen.
