Aussie, group was the true group of death

[BAGGIO 15]

Our group is the only group that still has 2 teams in the comp, one has none and the rest 1 so it could be argued we had the real group of death.

but when you look at the teams that didnt make it to the 2nd round...I think Côte d'Ivoire were clearly the best

[PhilDunphy]

Germany - one of the wc favourites, usually makes it to the last 8 every tournament
Ghana - probably the best africa has to offer, although I'm surprised they've got this far

but when you look at the teams that didnt make it to the 2nd round...I think Côte d'Ivoire were clearly the best

agree that Côte d'Ivoire were probably the best to miss out - they always get a bad draw as well, with brazil and portugal always favoured to progress from that group

who knows where australia would be right now if we hadn't conceded that penalty to ghana. the momentum we would have taken into the round of 16 clash against USA after beating serbia. the mind boggles

probably because CAF and AFC teams are never seeded

Due, in no small part, to the fact that we had a very hard group. Which leads us to...Oh yeah, this topic. Don't post bullshit. Everybody has accepted Australia are out, but that doesn't mean we can't discuss them.

I believe one of them did.

australia probably would have gone on to win it, just like they would have in 2006.

damn referees

Not a chance BAGGIO 15! The group of death was clerly Brazil's group. No matter how many times you tell yourself otherwise! As for "if Australia made it through to the round of 16", we would be where Ghana are.....nobody will know! Ripped off by referees or not, they are not there because they just werent up to it!

[tickets4cheese]

i think it's obvious to everyone now that englands group was clearly the group of death and it was a huge achievement that we made it out of there. all the players are heroes in my eyes.
