South Korea, Bahrain, and India. I'd expect us to progress from that group.

Group C
Bloody Bahrain again, our old foe from the 60's & 70's South Korea, and our foe at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.

I'd agree but still good enough to keep us on our toes, and turf us out if not taken 'seriously' enough.

In 2nd (maybe)

Mmmmmmm. Odds are it will be mainly the HAL-aroos, considering it's in January and all.  I know it's a FIFA tourament and all, but watch the "injuries" to Cahill and co. spring up in the New Years fixtures. 

 

[FFC Mariner]

Well, the Euroroos hardly covered themselves in glory last time so maybe the HALroos can at least try a bit harder.

I'm more prepared to blame Arnoldout and his shithouse man-management before I blame any of the Euroroos (except Viduka, lazy prick), but I understand your point.

It certainly wouldnt have been their fault they were heavily over confident?

Must have been completely arnolds fault for having no preperation time, no job stability, and no FFA instilled credability to command the respect of his players.

Take it from someone who was there mate, Arnold was beyond terrible.
