that's a classic 'step 9' reaction right there. i was actually thinking of when we beat the dutch in a pre-wc friendly, only to get flogged in the wc. also, when we advanced to the asian cup final and thought it would be a walk in the park against Japan (because we beat them once before 7-8 yrs ago) and then got tactically out-classed in extra-time.fatman123 wrote:Forza Rossoneri wrote:I think we can sum up our football media like this...dostoevsky wrote:I generally don't like Australian sports teams due to our insanely disrespectful media.1.

Re: 121mins in Extra time in the CL final and you get a penalty. Who would you give the ball?
Forza's post is a pretty good summary. This is a study of what to say if you're actually calling a game/event live.
1. Cover tournament in which Australia or Australian athletes are competing. If possible, use a commentator who has never even heard of any other country outside of Australia. Fortunately, these merry men are never in short supply.
2. Report exclusively on progress of Australia. No one wants to hear who actually won. If the English are involved, showing their highlights is also acceptable.
3. Mention any piece of "history" connecting Australia to this sport and past "glories." Omit any past achievements of everyone else.
4. Omit any praise of Australia's opponents. Note: Correctly pronouncing the surnames of opponents is a type of praise.
5. Omit any tactical analysis of why they're beating the crap out of Australia which makes it look like the opposition are winning because they deserve to. Instead blame inexperience/refereeing/conditions/dastardly cheating of opponents/Zealous' shaman luck rituals.
6. Cut constantly to members of the crowd painted in the green and gold. Mention how great the Australian support is. Never acknowledge presence of any other fans unless they are being dastardly.
7. As soon as Australia is out, tournament coverage stops, after showing a heroic montage of Australian efforts. The commentators should also wail like banshees upon Australia being eliminated. If you must report again, only do so if the English have won. Avoid all mentions of Italian/French/Spanish success.
8. Childishly transfer hatred of whoever knocked us out to all sports. Pretend that we are important enough to have an actual rivalry with this nation, rather than random one-sided loathing.

If I'm allowed going back on topic, I will say CR7 or Balotelli.

Dostoevsky and the other Italian-Australians while watching this game.:vagi:
1. I wanted Australia to win because I live here, I'm born here and they were the underdogs.
2. I wanted Italy to win because of my family background, the great Milan players in that team and the fact that they actually had a realistic chance of winning the whole tournament.
3. Australia were cheated.
4. The ref was deceived.
5. It's been 8 years now, time to move on.

Ballack, every time, I'd let the f*cker take 20 penalties.
If he's unavailable, you get Torsten Frings.
Can't get him? Get Sehad Salihovic of Hoffenheim. Boss penalties.

Also Hans-Jörg Butt, the goalkeeper. He's a boss PK taker. xD

Still, he didn't go as balls-out-fury on any PK he was allowed to take as Ballack and Frings did, they were beasts. Well, are, technically. But, really, were.

He was my favorite player by far. Because of the way he played. One of the last great, gritty and physical players we (Germany) had.

Thorsten Frings, what a handy acquisition for Toronto FC.
He's the type that can give a big helping hand to FC's youngsters.
Frings always has such a great handle on the match in central midfield.
Handsome too.
