Ever wondered why so many Australian footballers (Socceroos, Olyroos, Matildas) play overseas?

The knives are out as budgets will be forced to be slashed and crowds abandon the game as the media blackout begins to bite in the midst of the Money Market Crisis of 09. Jealous rages of “I told you so!” abound from the disenfranchised SBS and the inbred sheep baaa baaa loudly as they blindly bow to Crappielackie and his Sticky Poo Gang of thugs. The Penguin does his utmost to promote the Tiddleywimp as he bashes up women and attempts to overrun the West Australian media to extend the monopoly control of information across Australia.

Sydney FC move from one humiliation to the next is now rumoured of having the plug pulled. This look grim on the New Noon as vampires swam across the countryside and from the balconies of Sydney towers. Now of course this is confirmed.

Sherry the Pinko from the Island of Mass Destruction (Tasmania) where sludge fills the harbours from the paper mills and who is in charge of superannuation legislation from the Australian Senate claims “(he) does not want another sporting event in Australia until the (tiddleywimp) competition starts again.” is his opening comment to Australian Directors at a recent conference. This is the way these corrupt pollies operate here- attempting to force the ‘free’ market to follow their directives. No doubt this is a message to the corporate sector – either do as I say or look out. The message is to intimate corporate directors who may see an opportunity in the Asian economies and it is typical of the political scene here in Australia. It is found throughout the government sector of the economy where favours and promotions through the bureaucracy are based on anti-football rhetoric. The uncontrolled bureaucracy and monopoly media’s attempt to black out football and promote their own tiddleywimp thugs is par for the course. The Ausmoron didn’t even have an article about the A-League with Adelaide jetting off to Japan.

Endo’s nutmeg of Galekovic ended the World Cup bid with a narrow 1-0 win to Osaka Gamba. Adelaide matched the team and came close to forcing the game into extra-time as Gamba’s bar came to the rescue. A well played campaign and as usual totally under-rated by an ignorant media monopoly dominated by tiddleywimp factions. In the “World Today” no mention of the World Club result game but an extended coverage of a tiddleywimp’s Basher of the Weak and Defenseless return to a game next year. So that’s world news? The rampant ignorance and nepotism in the ABC continues unabated. Meanwhile in the A-League the grounds are in an appalling state covered with sand and lines. The grounds management appears to be about “Who can produce the worst football field in Australia?” How can Australia possibly hope to host the World Cup when the grounds staff at the stadia are incompetent and lazy?

FC are humiliated by Perth at home and the scapegoat becomes Aloisi. The well paid super hero from the last World Cup campaign missed two sitters that would have put FC in front. Instead, they went behind and what did Kosmina do? He replaced a striker, Aloisi with another striker instead of replacing a defender. Needless to say FC lost. Kossie’s style which is one of lack of tact, doesn’t seem to work on the players. The team is going backwards and the game against Melbourne becomes the season defining game. A loss here and the team is doomed to another year out of the Asian Champions League. The FC management needs to seriously look at the way the team has performed this year and the failed tactical approach. Going into a home game needing a win with one striker does not have that ring of confidence. FC should be the standard of the league and not some nervous kitten fearing a loss to the weakest team in the competition in a home game. The all bark approach of Kossie does not work in the world of professional football. Kossie’s substitution of Aloisi to make him the scapegoat was a disgrace and smacked of cowardice. It is time for Kossie to accept the responsibility for his team’s poor performance.

The Australian army in Afganistan claims it is not seen as a foreign invader as it is teaching the Afghans to play “Aussie” rule i.e. tiddleywimps. This is the claim of ‘war documentary maker’ George Gittoes in a report on Radio National. Now that makes sense! How ignorant and stupid can the defence force be if this is correct? This is just another example of the absolute crap that comes over the government controlled media and the propaganda and anti-football rhetoric that permeates the Australian media. Last time there was a report from Afghanistan from independent media sources the Afghans were playing football in street despite the presence of Australian army personnel attempting to force their quaint tiddleywimps onto the local population. Is this at gun point?

This stupidity is also found at the corporate level where the Australian international aid company Coffey International’s in its latest newsletter the CEO claims that tiddleywimps is world class sport! Now that’s a forward thinking business and a relevant business facto! And guess where they have just received a big contract funded by the government? Iraq! We all know the Iraqis are into tiddleywimps. Is this another case of aid for cultural imperialism and favor for the tiddleywimp boys by the government? It would be interesting get information about the government’s Future Funds and their strategy for funding the fat cats in Canberra. Has it a financial strategy in which the portfolio of shares is based on a tiddleywimp index?

Sydney FC now look like being wooden spooners and Adelaide hold a narrow lead on top of the A-League ladder. Allsop swerves towards and smashes into Kosmina to send him flying into the plastic chairs which make up the bench. The Melbourne riot squad surrounds Sydney Fans as they sing for their team attempting to intimate them to stop sing “We hate Victorians!” Apparently it is considered illegal to have fans support a rival team at the Telstra Dome. Tiddleywimps in Victoria is rather placid and lacks any form of colour or passion, but surely Victorian police are trained in dealing with cultural differences.

Victory go on to slug out a 1-0 home win over Adelaide to top the ladder by one point on a pitch that strewn with broken glass and syringes that makes Bondi beach look flat, safe for children and grassy. No wonder Adelaide hardly put in a tackle and were forced to go long with their balls. Now that was a worthy advertisement for the World Cup bid- no doubt it took some marketing nous in the boardroom of the aging dome and its troglodytes. The draw for the Asian Champions League is made and both Newcastle and Central Coast have the opportunity to win some serious prize money.

Group E

Group H

Meanwhile the Stinkoes at the Ignorance controlling ABC television news claim that Melbourne Victory verses Adelaide top of the table game was not worthy of a report despite 27k at the game. Who is paying these people to black out the news?

No Griffiths twins, no Milligan and Sasa decided he would never make the Socceroo squad for South Africa and defected to Macedonia. Let’s see how they go. With very little time to prepare and all players involved with their clubs over the weekend this will be a stern test of the resilience and stamina of the players. Captain Courageous Craig Moore will lead the team in this important qualifier. They are all professional players so they should be able to acquit themselves well against the Indonesian even though they are away from home and in front of 90k hostile fans. There are many guesses about the exact lineup which is probably as yet undecided by Pim the Great who will look at the players and see they shape up after the weekend.

The Socceroos played well and shut the door on Indonesia to gain a valuable away point with 0-0. Moore was by far the best player on the park with the Socceroos playing a creditable conservative passing game. Simon was the only striker that looked likely to breach the Indonesian defence. The state of the ground with its long grass and bumpy made it difficult to play high tempo game. Still it was in better nick than most of the A-League grounds.

As expected Kossie get the sack after the less than spectacular season. The new owners now have the long winding road to turn the team around.

The important World Cup qualifier looms against Japan and Okada is calling on the Big Guns and preparation in is a full steam ahead. The squad chosen is:

Goalkeepers: Ryota Tsuzuki (Urawa Red Diamonds), Eiji Kawashima (Kawasaki Frontale), Takanori Sugeno (Kashiwa Reysol)
Defenders: Shuhei Terada (Kawasaki Frontale), Yuji Nakazawa (Yokohama Marinos), Kazumichi Takagi (Gamba Osaka), Marcus Tulio Tanaka (Urawa), Yuichi Komano (Jubilo Iwata), Yuto Nagatomo (FC Tokyo), Michihiro Yasuda (Osaka), Atsuto Uchida (Kashima Antlers)
Midfielders: Shunsuke Nakamura (Celtic/SCO), Hideo Hashimoto (Osaka), Junichi Inamoto (Eintracht Frankfurt/GER), Yasuhito Endo (Osaka), Kengo Nakamura (Kawasaki), Daisuke Matsui (Saint-Etienne/FRA), Yasuyuki Konno (FC Tokyo), Makoto Hasebe (VfL Wolfsburg/GER), Shinji Kagawa (Cerezo Osaka)
Forwards: Keiji Tamada (Nagoya Grampus), Seiichiro Maki (JEF United Chiba), Yoshito Okubo (Wolfsburg/GER), Tatsuya Tanaka (Urawa), Shinji Okazaki (Shimizu S-Pulse).

Inamoto has an accurate pass, strong tackle and is not shy in taking on defenders and will be a key danger man for the Socceroos to watch. Matsui is also no slouch with some slick footwork. Add Yoshito with set pieces and there will be plenty of skill to go around.

The standings before the game:

TOKYO: Japan coach Takeshi Okada has come under fire again after a shock defeat to Bahrain ahead of their 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying showdown with arch rivals Australia.

Japan went down 1-0 to their lower-ranked opponents in an away qualifier on Wednesday for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup, which they have won three times.

"It always feels shocking when you lose," Okada told reporters after the tie in Manama, described by the coach as a "must-win" test ahead of their February 11 home World Cup qualifying clash with the physically stronger Socceroos, unbeaten leaders in Asia's Group A.

"I believe we have learned various lessons ahead of the Australia game," he said.

Asked in a post-match press conference whether the loss was a source of shame, Okada said it was "what you may call a shock or something very unfortunate".

"Fire him right now!!" a tabloid headline cried Thursday. "Can't win under Okada."

Okada was "censured in a kangaroo court in a post-match press conference", said an evening daily.

In the World Cup race, Japan trail with two wins and one draw. A 3-0 away defeat of Qatar in their last qualifier in November eased pressure on Okada who had been criticised for a lack of clear-cut offensive tactics.

Now whether Japan attempt to force a win or will accept a draw will be seen on the day. One clear advantage is be the distance the crowd (70 000 capacity) will be away from the action. This should stifle much of the intimidating of the atmosphere making it somewhat easier for the Socceroos. The temperature is likely to be around 4C and this again will suit the European based players in the Socceroo who are coming from similar temperatures and also result in a high tempo game. Pim the Great is yet to name the squad for this important match that could put us on the autobahn into World Cup.

Talk about pathetic coverage. The Stinkoes are at it again. We play Japan in crucial qualifier and the Ignorance meet it with silence despite Austrade applauding its potential with our number one trading nations. You would think with the intense rivalry that has developed since the last World Cup even the ignorance would see the light. But the tiddleywimp troglodytes of the unaccountable government owned media grow mould on their aged brains.

Pim the Great wonders puts pressure on, saying Okada is a scaredy cat on the run. Pim is expecting a defensive set up by the Japanese. And the Socceroos go on to 0-0 to remain top of the group and edging closer to qualification. Cahill is employed as a lone striker but is very ineffective and is completely marked out of the game. One wonders if the Aussies had attacked they might have snatched a win. But Pim proves cautious and results driven. No flair but creditable results for players who travelled long distances to the game.

Meanwhile disaster strikes the Reds. After being humiliated by Melbourne 4-0, Vidmar sees red and states the obvious, that Adelaide is a pissant town with an anti-football sentiment. Look on the map and you can see the weeney. Meanwhile the pinkoes at the ABC of Ignorance continue the blackout. The Hadbeen on RN won’t even acknowledge the game in his Monday morning commentary. Only 8k turns up for the final as the pissend of a town with their weeneys attend tiddleywimps. A well suited combo for the small minded ignorant anti-football town glued to a salt marsh who claim football players are all foreigners of dubious race and colour. For sure a redneck town for the ignorant. Looking back they turn to salty mounds littering by shark fins a bay for the corvine raven lunatics fed on offal and drinking the salt contaminated wines from the Barossa saying “ What a good boy am I”.

Anyway, Adelaide makes the Asian Champions League again by parking a bus in front of the goal and relying on Lady Luck to save the day.

Things are starting to looking tough for the league as the anti-football media close ranks to blackout coverage of the game. Next, can Canberra the land of the leech hold a successful Asian Cup match? An A-League Socceroos are to take on Qatar dancing to the Pim mantra of home win and draw away.

In a major disappointment, the all A-league side goes down to Kuwait in Canberra. Australia is now at the bottom of the group in the Asian Cup qualifiers and need points in the next game if they are to have any chance of qualifying. The team was slow, static and disorganized. Captain Courageous made uncharacteristic errors at the back and the defense looked wonkie. Pim’s comments about the lower standard of the A-league players backfired and he has gone from Pim the Great to Pim the Dim in one game. His criticism of the players that they lack the quality of the European professionals backfired with a lack luster performance by the Socceroos. One has to wonder why the players knew very little about the Kuwaitis. They did after all prepare in New Zealand. Over confidence is a curse and coupled with negativity about the players the double whammy is sure to rear its head with a poor unstructured performance. Let’s hope Newcastle and Central Coast restore A-league confidence with wins in the Champions League next week. It was Sad Sack day and a warning that no game of football at the international level will be easy and can be taken for granted. Pim should know this.

Kenichnicht a former premier of the state of Victorian rules aka tiddleywimps claims on the government controlled ABC of Ignorances to the nods of the commentators that his game of tiddleywimps is the only game of substance throughout Australia. The news is for this aging out of touch and proven depressively incompetent former politician from the state of rust is that football is watched more, played more and when people are surveyed say have more interest in football than the dopey brigade of drunken louts that make up the tiddleywimp fraternity. No wonder that Victoria is in a state of depression when we have pollies who haven’t clue about the world, its people or even its own people. Kenichnicht no doubt supports the media monopoly and its blackout of football and thinks all foreigners are wogs and should be bombed by US terrorists. Has the weepy droob ever been to NSW? The news is that the only people in NSW that watch football are refugees from his rust belt state.

Of course this is followed by the ABCTV of Ignorance who on the weekend of the World Cup qualifiers failed to report any game played around the globe from the biggest sporting event in the world. Now that is ignorance. Not to mention no mention of the Socceroo qualifier in Sydney that week. Rudeness, ignorance and neptoism is the culture of the ABC. One has to wonder why the government is spending xmillion to bid for the World Cup when its media outlet totally ignores and is completely ignorant of the world’s numero uno sporting event. Hiding away and playing with themselves in their troglodyte cave you would think they had access to the Internet and actually heard that there was a world of sport outside their caves. Perhaps too much hair has grown from their eyebrows and is impregnated into their retinas and their ears full of wax. I suppose you have to give them the benefit of the doubt as they do lack education.

A solid professional display by the Socceroos to defeat the Uzbeks by 2-0 with a magnificent header by Gosh Kennedy that was a great goal! Bresciano dominated throughout the match and the defence again looked solid. Despite criticism of Pim the Great, he once again proved how out of touch the commentators are about the game. Even those on Fox where the games are shown! A bit of jealously and ruing missed past opportunities may have contributed to their lack of objectivity. Eeore who couldn’t hit a barn, Truebulli who thinks he is a better striker than Simon and Bog-at-loo who never was even a half decent coach and Bean who has had too much apple cider are clearly jealous of the success of Pim the Great.

How times have changed. The Socceroos now play before 50k in the pouring rain in Sydney with live coverage of the game on TV. Well done! Although we nearly conceded a goal but for a good decision by the AR after a shot was parried by Swartzer and netted in by an offside Uzbek. Kool Kewell score from the penalty mark to put the tie out of reach and the Socceroos into the World Cup-well almost. Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooo OioOioOio not eeeeooooorgrumblegrumbleiwasthebest.

The usual blackout of news about the games in the Champions league by the Telemoron and Ausmoron not to mention the ABC of Ignorance leading up to the important Central Coast v Kawasaki game in Tokyo (Japan is our major trading partner) further illustrates the arrogant whitewashing trashy tiddleywimp media dominating Australia’s collusive effective monopoly media. Central Coast are shown up in defence with the disgraced Olympic goalkeeper Vukovic’s slippery fingers gifting a goal for Junihno making it almost impossible for the Mariners to get through the group. However, the renowned fighting spirit of the Mariners saw Simon finally score after a number of gilt-edged chances to bring the scores level in teeming rain. But the class of Kawasaki shone through with a brilliantly taken set piece saw a magnificent header by Taniguchi set up Renatinho with a simple goal to end the Mariners dream of progressing to the next phase of the championship. Newcastle lose 0-1 at home after Sasha Petrovoski missed a penalty.

Commercial radio controlled by the Penguin are a joke as usual and haven’t even the basic courtesy to report the score. The view of the Japanese still dates back 70 years and the media moguls remain in time warp of 40’s white trash hysteria as they complain about refugees fleeing desperate conditions claiming them to be criminals and all because they are poor, destitute and fleeing oppressive regimes. This mentality that permeates the MMs spills over into their sports coverage where they believe that crappielackie is a medium to be used promote ethic bashing and avoid world class competition. The history of their hysterical ‘wogball’ bashing is clear evidence oif this approach by the ignorant packielackey morons. These cave dwelling MMs still live in a ‘conservative’(read rule by violence) past where fear permeates their dungeons and that world war is the way to maintain superiority over the foreign masses rather than through the peaceful modes of modern cooperative trade and friendly relations. No progress has been made in freeing up the media in Australia.

Newcastle defeat Beijing with a dramatic last minute goal to stay alive in the Champions League. But what a disgrace by the media and NSW government officialdom! There was a complete snub of the Chinese in Newcastle. It is time the Chinese bought their coal and other minerals from friends in other nations such as Indonesia or Madagascar, somewhere where officials have manners and do not behave like extremist anti-Chinese racist trash. The Ignorance and the Telemoron fail to report the game which was played on a moonscape at the Newcastle Stadium before a paltry but vocal and educated crowd watched live to 10 million people in Beijing. Is it any wonder NSW cannot balance a budget when its ministers and officialdom behave like the uneducated troglodytes trash that they are. Wake up! The world moves on and time will catch up.

Meanwhile the packielackeys are contemplating the tradition of gang sex after the match with ‘consenting’ females. A tradition that dates back to 50s school yard antics with the he men lining up after the game in the dunnies and the young schoolgirl sometime in the next year wondering about the genetics of the newborn. Add this to their wogball rants and the psychopathic profile of the packilackey becomes clearer.

Sydney FC then transfer in a player S. Ryall (S for Silly)who is also charged with underage sex when he just turned 18. Yes, not good and a waste of money transferring him from Victory who must be relieved to have him off their books. But despite the Mmedia frenzy, football has no systemic history like the crappielackeys where these types of events are part of the culture of the public dunny scene.

The Ignorance is unbounded in its snub of Chinese teams in the AFC League as Central Coast go down yet again to be dumped from the next Phase and languish with the wooden spoon. The Bigot at ABC TV obviously rules. How rude!

Australian football gets the point needed to qualify in an historic consecutive place in the World Cup Finals. The game was one where the ball wouldn’t go in for the Socceroos with the highlights being Cahill’s flying overhead kick ricocheting off the post and the full time whistle confirming the 0-0 in 40+C temperatures. Pim the Great shows his philosophy of cautious defence and reliance on brilliance by strikers to get the points. This time there were many opportunities but Kennedy was marked out of the game by big defenders. I thought during the game “give McDonald a run” would have been the way to go after it became apparent Pim’s tactic was nullified by the Qatari’s. Great defence and without Moore.

Yahoooooooooo. AussieaussieOioioi! We are in the World Cup.

Meanwhile, in the ultimate irony the crappielackies wallowing in the mud contract Swine Flu.

Australia leap to the top of the group with Japan drawing and Australia winning at home as planned by Pim The Great. The professed tactic at the beginning of the campaign of draw away win at home appears to have worked a treat. Great goals and Australia 2-0 dispose of Bahrain. Only one game left against the Japanese and a draw will guarantee top spot and bragging rights for the Socceroos in Asia.

Great play by the Socceroos to top the group. Cahill’s individual brilliance scoring two well taken goals and the win was assured after coming from behind. Australia 2- Japan 1. Tulio’s goal sent shivers down Australian football fans but the team fought back in a controlled manner not opening the defence to the sucker punch.

Ability is rarely recognized and when it is, jealousy rears its green monster head. This has been the case with some football commentators who should know better e.g. Postecoglou. His jealousy was physically evident as his rising blood-pressure turned him greener after each Socceroo win or draw in the qualifying campaign. His undisguised rages of jealousy reached their crescendo as he attacked Pim the Great for his tactics. What were Pim’s tactics? Winning at home and drawing away.

Is it any wonder that Postecoglou really never achieved any decent results as a football coach? And as a player he was no defence-splitter either, he had a lot of heart but little science.

Then there are the MMs with the Penguin who attempted to do anything possible to ignore or denigrate the Socceroos. Despite this, the professional attitude of the players was to ignore the bigots in Australia’s media monopoly. The ABC Ignorance before the Japan game made a point of highlighting the “dead rubber” status at the “soccer” game in Melbourne. The Ignorance is also ignoring the Confederation Cup in South Africa which is the lead-up tournament to the World Cup. No mention of the opening game involving South Africa but gave saturation coverage of the South African white rugger buggers. And all this is when Australia has put in a bid for the World Cup! The government funded Ignorance cannot even bring itself to report world football games.

The management consists of people who are incapable of reporting the correct and official name of football tournaments using all sorts of methods to avoid mentioning the term football. The use of “Asian Soccer Championship’ and “World Soccer Cup” abounds. The standard of reporting and internal political nepotism in its sports departments and news departments is transparent. Ignorance and rudeness abounds in an organisation of unaccountable quasi-bureaucrats who are not about reporting sport or news but are about pushing their little crappielackey uphill.

Group 1
	Team	MP	W	D	L	GF	GA	Pts
	Australia *	8	6	2	0	12	1	20
	Japan *	8	4	3	1	11	6	15
	Bahrain **	8	3	1	4	6	8	10
	Qatar	8	1	3	4	5	14	6
	Uzbekistan	8	1	1	6	5	10	4

Now is that not a great achievement! Socceroos rule!
