Any modern Australian sportsperson-Be they cricketers, footballers, hockey players, they have no concept of fair play and  sportsmanship, they only understand bullying and do bully opponents. When they lose, they are the biggest cry babies. Don Bradman must be turning in his grave at the conduct of Australian sports persons.\n\nAs a cricket fan who has been following the game since the last 30 years or so,I've noticed once the opposing team lands in their country, every member is under a microscope and the smallest detail is mentioned by the Aussie press with generally a negative connotation. \n\nI think, but I am not sure -one of their captains has even gone on record by saying that winning is everything, not fair play, and that they like to play with their opponents minds on and off the field.\n\nAussie cricket umpires are also cheats and racists. \n\nWhen the tables are turned, they are the first ones to cry foul and shout themselves hoarse that any act by any member of their team, whether correct or not is correct. They also end up running the host countries press down at every opportunity for prying in to their personal lives, but their own press is so biased that it never gives the opponent country's players a chance to say their piece or clarify. Even if perchance the Aussie press do permit the opponents to speak, they end up distorting comments to make the player look bad, and play with his mind.\n\nOver all especially Aussies (let's say white cricket playing countries - South Africa, UK, NZ and Aussies, and I not trying to be racist here, it's an observation I am making) are lousy host countries and bad, ugly guests.\n\nThe English and this means the players, the press, etc. sometimes beat the Aussies at being bad sports, they too are big cheats, on and off the field, but they are less racist than the Aussies.\n\nThe above are my personal opinions and may be based on limited knowledge, I do concede that, but if I were an Aussie, I am sure I wouldn't.

infact after watching the champions trophy it is quiet unpredictable whether the aussies will be able to defend their championship\nevery team in the champions trophy has had one win or more\nno team has actually dominated the series \nfor instance west indies who beat aus and ind lost to england who was far below in confidence the way they fielded against the windies \nso u never know how many times will the lightning strike at one place\nthis world cup is surely going to be exciting

My guys, the Australian Socceroo's have just knocked our socks off. This whole tournament, they have exceeded expectations and lifted an entire nation to a level of pride not felt for a very long time. To win one game was enough for Aussie supporters. To qualify for the final 16 is something that we always thought they could do but celebrated like they won the world cup. Australia is a very proud nation today thanks to these great men that represent us with such guts and determination. Sorry for the ramble but it's just so great for Australian football.

Australia played well.\nI can't say I'm a big fan of Australian teams, but I do admire their will to win.  They play within the rules and play hard...what's not to like about that, other than they are from Australia.

Please, everyone who thinks this was a bad call, please please please read the answer above by leodavinci.  This was a brilliant answer and 100% true.  I'm glad to feel sane, like what I was believing was true.  I'm not alone. All the fans in Australia should be proud of their team.  They went far.  Now if they are serious about football (soccer), they'll be better next time around.  They'll know how to take advantage of being a man up.

After the second days play in the test, the best the Aussies can hope for in this game is a draw. \nThat's your 5 - 0 gone.\nCome on England.

massive advantage. there is a reason australia havent lost a series since 1992 in australia. \n\n1. its hot. really hot, and the english are used to cool overcast conditions. \n2. these conditions in england are helpful for swing bowling, but the ball swings less in australia so Hoggard and Anderson are useless. \n3. IN england they use a Duke ball, in aust. they use a Kookaburra ball. Again the duke ball swings, the kooka doesnt. aust lost last year because they couldnt handle the swing that all of englands bowlers got. but the ball doesnt swing in aust so its a lot easier for aust to score big runs. \n4. australias pitches are the bounciest in the world, and england struggle to adjust to the extra bounce generated by the pace bowlers. aust are used to these pitches.\n\nvenues: Gabba is always first test, aust havent lost there since 1988, its warnes best ground in aust altough its typically a pace bowlers ground. warne gets huge bounce at gabba. as its the first test and the hottest city that tests are played in, touring sides are usually smashed at the gabba, unable to handle the heat or the bounce and this sets the tone for the rest of the series.  \n\nWACA is good for pace bowling getting huge bounce as well. SCG is good for spin bowling. aust usually play two spiinners at the scg at this is the last test of the tour usually. only the subcontinent sides (india etc) are good at playing spinners. the english are not.

Nice try by the 1st 3, When The Aussies beat England for the 1st time, A Reporter of the Times Newspaper put a Spoof obituary in his Paper, The Ladies Of Melbourne Burnt either the Bails or a Cricket Ball ( No one is sure which) and placed the ashes in a little urn, which they presented to the England team, even though they talk about winning the Ashes, the Ashes themself never ever leave Lords where they are displayed in the Longroom to this day./

Any team has the right to be in the top 16, and they earned it. If you watch any of the matches Australia has played, you'll see that they are fit and skilled. History is against the Socceroos, but they are making a stand. They held up well against Brazil, beat Japan by a mile and drew with Croatia. No one can doubt that they can play soccer. \n\nThey deserve it.
