Chilavert the great presidential
aspirant arrives in Australia and is greeted with the confirming ignorance of a
murdochpackielackey media that not only completely ignores the first full
international by the Socceroos against a potential World Cup place contender in
Paraguay but which also ignores the great goalkeeper himself, a goalkeeper who
has risen from the ashes of poverty and now seeks to lead his country into the
21st century.
The game was played with a zit-zit at the Football Stadium
where the 2000 Olympics football tournament is to be held. Piker Kewell was
too busy snoring in front of “I am a Weasel” to show up at an important
international for the Socceroos in their
build-up to the Qualifiers.
The Stadium surface was abysmal and
characteristic of a cow paddock after milking, but a comparable billiard
surface if Dockland’s to be used later in the week. Stan the Man played an outstanding game. Colosimo the Socceroo and Olyroo was back
with the Kalac web that never looked threatened. His saves from Chilavert free kicks had Chilavert stumbling back
at high speed to avoid the Kalac punt to Captain Olyroo, Emerton. Later Chilavert claimed the Socceroos were
all on drugs taking exception to the odd high tackle! Foster had a general of a game and the defence was solid
throughout.
In a later qualifier with Brazil,
Paraguay win 2-1 when as reported in twg.
“However,
Campos set the stadium alight when he latched onto up a long kick from Chilavert,
fended off two defenders and swept the ball past Brazilian goalkeeper Dida.”
The Chilavert tactic of taking
free-kick nearly failed against the Socceroos!
He then picked up a ‘keeper tip from the Kalac web.
Chivalet scores from a free kick in
the World Cup Qualifiers against Colombia!
A last minute shot deflected into
the net and the Socceroos would have won except the AR’s flag waved in the air.
It was a smallish crowd but vocal
and loyal to the true sport.
Empty seats, no media build-up,
blacked-out Coke signs on a multi-lined bumping pitch surrounded the second
game of the series which is also to be a venue for the Olympics. The only thing missing was an educated and
loyal public.
Still a friendly against Manchester
United draws more than a “State of Origin” packielackey top bill. Not only that, but a
friendly with Manu drew more spectators at the Olympic Stadium than a Rugby
Union test against South Africa! Almost
one thousand more and with no freebies and at $70 up a ticket! The only
difference is that the RU got saturation coverage while Manu and the Socceroos
were ignored-a case of RU sheep?
Bring on the Grand Final!
The 2000 GF was another triumph for
the small club where determination and grit pay. Better than any FA final and even the South Melbourne v Carlton
GF, the Wolves back from 3-0 down after the first half to win on
penalties. Brilliant game, brilliant
atmosphere, shoot out to the death and the large Perth crowd go home
disappointed in an agonising end to a great grand final. Bring on Manu in the World Club Championship
and teach Cole a football lesson.
Perhaps Perth will make this championship next year, but today grit and
determination overcame the finesse of Glory’s game.
In Melbourne on a cold and windswept
pitch the Socceroos break down the Paraguayan defence. Final score 2-1 and Chilavert sees red
making ‘The Animal’ of Brazil look like a gentleman. But as football players know, a stroll onto the pitch and the
personality changes. In this case, the
presidential candidate with the pride of his nation at stake goes all out and
loses it at the death. A team effort by the Socceroos who record their first
win on home soil under Farina.
The World Cup qualifier will be difficult, emotional, psychologically
threatening and full of foul play with stop start football if these games have
been any guide. Bolivia at altitude or
in the steamy jungle, one thing is for sure the qualifiers will be difficult. Will it be Brazil after their recent run of
losses?
Just saw an interview with Craig Johnson on SBS where he espoused his
philosophy and goals in life. His aim
was to coach the Under 14 Byron Soccer Team to the Grand Final, win, all go for
a surf and be friends. A truly great
ambition.
But where was he when the Socceroos played Scotland for a place in the
World Cup? How irritating that a player
who calls Australia home hasn’t enough ticker or national pride to play for his
country. Craig ‘The Traitor’ will be
known as a trail-blazer for Mercurochrome where
money grovelling and sleeping were his top priority.
One thing that was interesting in his interview was that throughout his
life he was always the “worst player” on the team. Yet he ended up with a Championship Medal and invented the
Predator football boot.
Then he has the chance to help the Socceroos win a place in the World
Cup and be the best player, he shirks his responsibility and showed a complete
lack of national spirit or identity.
Zelic, Bosnich, Okon, Viduka, Lazaridis, Wade, Tiatto, Kalac, Vidmar,
Foster and even Kewell who at
least played for Australia and countless others and Moore are the real
Australians. Players who are prepared
to risk all to play for their land where they are completely unappreciated by a
bigoted media ruled over by a government protected media duopoly: the Penguin and
Packielackey with their thick drawling tongues carrying their bottles of
Mercurochrome to soothe their snivelling and grovelling serfs.
Is it any wonder that Peter
Wilson went into hiding?
So complete is the control that despite an outcry from public to see the
European Nations Cup free-to-air, this call was ignored and not reported in the
media. Murdochpackielackey and
tiddleywimps predominate while the football is forced off screen after over a
decade of free-to-air coverage and placed where few had an opportunity to view
the games. Not even the terrific Final
was covered! Can’t have a public
interested in wogball or is it now frogball!
But one thing is for
sure the
Matildas are better looking!
The Matidas
blackout continues. But here is some
news from the newsgroup:
“The full national squad which you will be able
to thrill at from the first game on Wed 13th Sept at Bruce Stadium is:
Wheeler, McShea, Starr, Garriock, Alagich, Tann-Darby,

PAPEETE, Tahiti, June 19 AAP - Australia crushed the Cook Islands 17-0

monopoly stop information about the Olyroos? Will the sweethearts allow

A new chapter in publicity has been written so to find news Socceroo

From the newsgroup:
“Evenin' All:
Found this on the Football
365 Manchester City site. Not bad
coverage
given the source! Was the local coverage (I don't take the
local rags)
any good?
'TIATTO STARS FOR AUSTRALIA
IN EASY WIN
Manchester City midfielder
Danny Tiatto starred for Australia as they
qualified for next year's
Confederations Cup, beating New Zealand 2-0 in
the Oceania Nations Cup
Final in Tahiti. The Socceroos dominated from
the opening whistle and were
rarely troubled in defence. And coach Frank
Farina was delighted to have
won the game.
After a number of corners in
the first half, Sheffield United defender
Shaun Murphy finally put the
Australians ahead, and in the process
scored his first
international goal, after a corner by Birmingham winger
Stan Lazaridis was headed
back by Paul Agostino for Murphy to slot home
in the 40th minute.
The one-way traffic
continued in the second half, Murphy unlucky not to
net his second just four
minutes into the half, while Lazaridis almost
caught New Zealand keeper Jason
Batty out in the 55th minute with a free
kick which went just over
the bar.
The Socceroos secured the
victory in the 66th minute however, Manchester
City midfielder Danny Tiatto
making a break down the
left and beating three
defenders before crossing the ball to a waiting
Craig Foster, the Crystal
Palace star converting to make it 2-0.
"It certainly was a
relief to win the Final, it's always a relief when
you win games as important
as this one," said Socceroos boss Frank
Farina. "I felt the
boys played exceptionally well out there tonight, we
dominated the entire 90
minutes and we deserved to win.
"New Zealand was always
going to be dangerous, and they were, more from
the set pieces than anything
else, but we held our discipline under
difficult
circumstances. "To actually
qualify for the Confederations
Cup is a huge relief for me,
and I give a big pat on the back to the
players, they deserve all of
the accolades they get – they've given up a
lot of things to spend the
last three weeks in camp with the national
team, and it’s paid off for
them. I'm very proud to be associated
with
this group of boys." '
No accolades in
Australia- merely a silent ignorance of the achievement and these players who
gave up their time to play for the Socceroos unappreciated by the effective
monopoly of the packielackey morons in control of the press.
Wait until the
football world sees the state of our grounds!
No wonder Manu
sacked the turf specialists!
Wait till you see
the Colonial turf (fortunately not an Olympic venue!)
Or is beach
football?
Germany is to host the 2006 World Cup. How did our spineless leader in Oceania
vote? From the newsgroup:
Morocco were eliminated
in the first round of votes.
England were
eliminated in the second round with the votes going as follows:
South Africa 11,
Germany 11, England 2
The two Execs who
voted for England - David Will of Scotland and Chic Dempsey on NZ - had to choose
between SA and Germany. Will voted for Germany and Dempsey
ABSTAINED !!
Therefore Germany
won 12-11.
Is it any wonder that he never stood up to be counted
in creating an Oceania link to a major football area such as Asia?
The result has been to hold back Australian football
from playing proper competitive games in our region.
Dempsey thinks that by restricting competitive games
for the Socceroos, his inept sides in New Zealand have a better chance
of success.
Or perhaps as someone said on the newsgroup.
“Did Dempsey abstain, or did he just
fall asleep at the crucial moment?”
Desperate for the new season!!!
newsgroup update
“Okon, Lazaridis, and Viduka
have been called into the
Olympic squad according to
the Times newspaper.”
This is just another example where
news about the Olyroos must be sought from sources outside the effective media
monopoly in Australia.
Is it any wonder the government is
seeking to stifle news over the net?
The government owned natural
monopoly Australia Post’s stamp issue for the Olympics left out football in its
featured sports, in what is another official snub to footballers. The ignorance and bigotry reach into the
highest levels of government.
Is it any wonder after the
disgraceful attack on the Australian football by the bigots in the Parliament?
With less than a month to go
before the Olympics there is not a mention of the Olyroos or Matildas in the
media.
BTW Most of the seats at the
Olympics are for football!
Kewell the Ghoul or is it genuine?
From the newsgroup:
“SOC: KEWELL TO BE WITHDRAWN
FROM OLYMPIC SQUAD
MELBOURNE, Aug 25 AAP -
Injured Leeds United star Harry Kewell will be withdrawn from Australia's
Olympic soccer squad later today.
The forward has been
battling an Achilles tendon injury which has not responded to treatment.
Soccer Australia has to
submit its Olympic squad names today and will decide not to name Kewell because
of his injury.
Olyroo coach Raul Blanco
said at training earlier this week that Kewell meant as much to the Australian
Olympic campaign as Maradona did to Argentina at his peak.”
Three weeks before the Games and Kewell
the Mercurochrome Ghoul pulls out injured.
He managed to play most of the season last year.
Has the Leeds darkness struck yet again?
Will he play immediately after the Games for Leeds?
A case of Kewell the
Mercurochrome Ghoul!
Why did he not wait and at least sit on the bench if the injury was
genuine? Exploratory surgery deemed
successful was made on the day Australia played Italy.
Maradona played through sickness and injury for his country.
What a wimpy piker!
In another blow for the Olyroos, Okon damages his toe,
plays injured three-quarters of the game for Middlesborough and he sets up
three sitters that are duly muffed by the attack. Later he is forced to pull out of the squad for the Olympics and
undergo surgery.
Looks like it is a difficult start for the
Olyroos. We now rely on new Aussie
heroes to fill the void as adversity gives way to creativity!
The ground where the Matildas will play in our
national capital is so poor that the IOC has ordered the replacement of the
surface destroyed by packielackey lumbering oafs less than a month before
kick-off. Then, in the usual inept
style of the packielackey dominated organisation- SOGOC, its tacticians laid a
new turf from tropical grasses sourced from tropical Cairns, which duly died
after a frost in the height of the usual Canberra winter!
A case of Manchester United’s ground revisited!
It is expected that a new surface will be laid only
one week before the first game. Expect
a game of sliding carpet where the swells of corrugations on the bush tracks leading
west from the oval will look and feel like pancake surf.
There goes any home advantage to the Matildas.
And of course don’t expect the PM to show his face at
any football event.
The IOC passes the Canberra ground as fit for
play. They walk over the surface and
look down. But will it roll as players check to change direction? Let’s hope so
for the safety of the players!
Viduka and Skoko arrive in Melbourne for the sell-out
opening game.
Here is a fan’s prediction about television coverage
of the opening game of Sydney 2000 involving the Oyroos:
From the newsgroup:
“My bet is as follows:
>
>1 - they'll cover the
game live,
>2 - they'll bung in ads
during the playing time,
>3 - they'll have at least
one, and probably more,
> total nongs in the commentary box with
not the
> foggiest idea of football,
>4 - they'll mute the
crowd atmosphere to make it
> seem quieter on the telecast than it is
in reality.”
Answer: 1 and 4 only.
But what a dangerous and completely unsuitable ground
Melbourne produced!
The Olyroos played yet again on another cow paddock
but this time the world saw what SOCOG packielackey tacticians knew and planned
from the start. Anything to nobble the Olyroos who are a team that plays the
fast flowing interchanging passing game!
The grass was laid 10 days before kick-off and the
players slipped and slid as the surface moved beneath their feet– Skoko was
injured as a result of a mistimed tackle.
But guess who laid the surface?
The eggs still dripping down the nongs faces that laid
Manu’s ground muffed it again! Another
quality export!?
The surface was the typical knee-deep grass of
tiddleywimps where falling over on a soft surface is number one priority so
they won’t scape their elbows.
But worse still, the Sydney newspaper- the Murdoch
Telemoron didn’t even report on the Olyroo game that had 98000 spectators! After all they’re all dagoes aren’t they-
Carlton dagoes!?
The outrageous and unscrupulous attack on the Matildas
who lost 3-0 to Germany took the cake and epitomised the lack of Olympic ideals
and spirit by the sports media at this disgraceful corporation.
The Telemoron is now if ever in doubt, the official
dunny paper of the Sydney 2000 Olympics and highlights the racist bigotry of
the government granted effective monopoly media in Australia.
The Olyroos played outstanding football and were
unlucky to lose 1-0.
Over confidence in defence cost us the game. A mistake in football is fatally punished,
unlike the innumerable dropped balls in tiddleywimps and packielackey where
errors are of little consequence and are easily clawed back.
Bring on Nigeria.
Olyroos lose again.
This time due to a Colosimo error of judgment as he headed the ball back
to the ‘keeper under pressure, the ball failed to make the distance. Colosimo has never had a strong headed. The
final score was 2-3 in front of a capacity crowd played on a relatively decent
ground (grass again too long) in Sydney.
The undeserved send off of our captain (Emerton) was
the death knell for the Olyroos with Nigeria taking out the Academy Award for
Play- acting.
The Matildas draw 1-1 and still are a chance to qualify
for the quarterfinals. They lose to
Brazil 2-1 and are out.
Wave after wave attack and fantastic save after
fantastic save and the Olyroos are defeated.
This was a case of the gods were not with them. Complete domination over Honduras but they
still lose 2-1. Had it been
packielackey, the score would have been 100-zit as possession and domination
are all important.
But football is the cruellest sport, as Sydney 2000
clearly demonstrated.
The coverage on ABC radio was excellent if only in very
brief excerpts, and at least those who could afford it had a chance to see the
games on pay TV. This is except for
Russel’s rubbish and scurrilous attack on the Matildas at the
government-controlled network who has also obviously never heard of Zijlaard
the cyclist philosophy.
The Matildas performed against fully professional
players in the only truly competitive code.
The ignorance in the commercial media runs so deep that in an interview
about Japanese fans, Channel 10 said
” They (Japanese football fans) came here for an 80 minute game of
soccer. Then only to fly home the next
day!”?!
The Stoke’s Joke free-to-air and Telemoron blackout of the football
celebration at the Olympics in Sydney 2000 is unabated. Football has been part of the games since
1908. This blackout of information is
despite the huge crowds attending the football games with the host nation
eliminated! Despite the blackout of
information, the average crowd size for the football tournament is over 30 000
(Bruce Stadium has a capacity less than 30 000) with a capacity 110 000 at the
final and the play-off for the bronze to go.
Cameroon win over Spain 2-2 in front of a capacity
crowd on penalties in an exciting match for Cameroon’s first ever Gold Medal at
the Olympics! Spain was valiant in
defeat and struggled with 9 players against a super-fit Cameroon.
The packielackey tacticians have done their jobs as monopoly controllers
well! However, despite the tactical
media blackout of the football events and the substandard grounds, the original
football code of Australia continues to demonstrate that it is number one and
the only truly competitive code.
One wonders if the results may have been different had
Kewell and Okon played given the numerous missed chances and tight
triple-marking of Viduka.
Australian football continues the long climb to the
top level, and now the World Cup qualifiers loom.
Fosters the anti-football lager has launched an advertisement that
attempts to educate its drinkers with a system of beliefs necessarily excluding
football (some rubbish about tiddleywimps), but amazingly one of the beliefs is
that the Earth is round!
Clearly an attempt to educate the tiddleywimps followers from Melbourne!
Pity its management hasn’t yet learned about this reality.
Bring
on the football season!
Bring
on Scotland.
Viva la football!
