Another do or die battle in a FIFA World Cup Qualifier on Tuesday night in Sydney.

And finally, Tim Cahill may start the game, it's about bloody time, what were you thinking before Ange, and what took you so long ?

Tim is only the most capped player for the Socceroos, scored 48 goals for his country and 5 goals over three successive World Cup with one of the them an all times best goal. If he is fit to play, why sit him on the bench ??

Go Timmy and go Aussie !!

It's gonna be a tense game.
On paper we are a better team than Syria but were a much better team than Thailand to and we only scraped a draw away and a close win at home.
BTW Timmy was in the starting 11 against Thailand in Melbourne.
Unfortunately he hit the post at the 4th minute.
We need to improve on recent performances; we need to put away our chances and we need to tighten up in defence.
I don't think Ange is the man for the job but we are stuck with him now.
Super coach Carlo Ancelotti just got sacked by Bayern Munich so maybe billionaire Frank Lowy can fork out a few $Million to bring him down here.

Yes, we are like a team of carpenters, keep hitting the wood works !

Was it Juric who hits the pole twice in one attack ? We need some luck man !!!

Yeah Juric hit the post twice against Syria.
And we hit the post 2 or 3 times against Thailand.
We have been unlucky.
But we were also lucky not to cop more goals against Syria.
They really had us under the pump in the second half.
We should be OK at home against Syria.
Then we have to face probably Panama.
It's still a long way to Russia 2018.

Two great crosses, two smashing signage Cahill headers !!

Timmy is a legend!
It's a worry we have still rely on the old man for our goals.
And it's a worry we have a rubbish coach.
But we can still do it.
Bring on Honduras next!

[dundersyd1]

Honduras are going to be hard to compete with over there. Lucky the roos are pretty battle hardend playing so many games in the middle east. It's another world in honduras

Any South American team will be tough !

[AHLUNGOR]

Anyone having a bet at the Everest?

So many chances ?

If it would have been a soft track then Chautauqua is a good thing and She will reign for the Q!

On a dry track , I'm leaning towards the two Haynes Horses in Vega Magic and Redkirk Warrior .

But you can probably make a case for another half a dozen chances .

Where is Black Caviar ? This is the race she deserves to run in and win !

[Soccerfan]

I like Deploy and Redzel, I can't split them.

Aren't they playing the north/Central America 4th places team and not a South American team?

[AHLUNGOR]

Hope you have backed Redzel, mine came second !

[Soccerfan]

Thanks Ahlungor, I did back them both, so I am pretty happy. I also got the quinella.
In the form, I noticed that Brave Smash (Jpn) finished within half a length of Vega Magic at its last start. I had it in the Q, but didn't take the Tri. Still a good day!

[AHLUNGOR]

Bonneval in the CC. With one leg in the air

She was my key runner in the Caulfield Cup and Cups doubles. But after she failed today and found to be lamed, she is now seriously in doubt for the CC . It's bloody Mongolian Khan all over again ! But at least he won the first leg .

Good to back Darren Weir horse. Big Duke also won

Youre right, honduras is in central america. It looked like wed be vsing usa but they choked

Yes, I backed many of David Haynes horses on Sat and most of them didn't win, the one win he had I wasn't on.

Could have been on three winners if I back Darren Weir !

This thread needs a reboot.
I will help.
