Olyroos / Olympic Football

[brod]

Damn...one nil down v the Argies...

Not a surprise after THAT many shots on goal

[hearts on fire]

not a bad game last night, considering both teams only had a couple of regular players.

[Dogwatcher]

We did well to keep them out for as long as we did.

How funny is it to see Messi shambling around the pitch. He does not look like a superstar! Book/cover I guess.

Archie Thompson out injured for the rest of the games http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/beij ... 24,00.html

Channel 7 have just promoted the game for tonight. So we will just have to wait and see.

[Keefy]

Olyroos have a corner just before half time.

If you want uninterrupted coverage, flick over to SBS

Half time and it's nil all

[Keefy]

2nd half under way.

If only David Carney had a right foot, we would have gone into half time up 1 nil

[Dirko]

If only David Carney COULD PLAY

[Keefy]

Olyroos go 1 nil down with about 10 minutes to go

Going to have to pull something magic out of the hat now to win this one.

Just got nobody up forward to put a finish to anything.

Yep...Wonder how Bruce would have done

Kalou is all class as one would expect when you play for Chelski....

[Keefy]

At least Bruce would have given them a target to aim at and maybe had the runners feed off him.
