2nd goal disallowed seems the ref has a large wager on Denmark to win

Half time report

Australian defence too loose and lacking intensity, players arnt marking their men, too many mistakes.

Denmark impressive with some great attacking plays, accurate passing and capitalizing on Australian mistakes. defence is alittle lacking

[Centarfor9]

^ where can i see this game (on the net)

[Demandred]

im not sure .. im watching it on cable atm

well its on but im not sure if i can keep watching :p

[Centarfor9]

[Demandred]

well to take the long view its an excelent match for us in preparation for the asian cup, this will give arnold a very clear indication of where australias deficincies are. make a mistake against this danish team and they will punnish us severly

[Centarfor9]

^ yeah you need to fix that D

**************** FULL TIME *********************************

Denmark 3-1 Australia

Australian defence tightend during the 2nd half, aloisi was just unlucky all game. a few young uns up and coming worth keeping an eye out for.

Denmark seemed to be content to defend their 3 point lead and continued to play a very diciplined game

Congrats Denmark on a good win

The Danes played too strong for the Aussies.

3-1

[Demandred]

but it was still an enjoyable game to watch though im still grumpy about the 2 disallowed goals and a silly hit on the cross bar with a third :'(

Thats what me said oman you didnt only get beat on the score but also the playing field. It seemed the players where completely disorganized in this game. Australia has to go back to the drawing board in terms of what goes here and what goes there theory.

I got to see the second half of the match and I was impress with the Danes, they played that slick passing game they usally do and realy burnt the Aussies on a few occassions.

na we were missing most of our star players, but that was no excuse for how they played ...

[judicatormd]

i am eager to see if australia lives up to the hype and see how they do in ac. korea, iran, japan, and saudi are no pushovers like the oceanic countries they are used to playing.
