They took a dive on austrialia too which win them a last-min penalty

i see french dives all wc….against brasil,against portugal, against italy and the penalty grosso there is…..your player,cant stay down……..

fellow aussies, please no more sour grapes! The Italians won, whinging, complaining and making all sorts of ridiculous comments about Italian people will not change the result and only belittles our proud nation in the eyes of others.

Congratulations to Italy !

… now lets get down to work on making sure we whip some Azurri arse next time around!

Nicko. you are funny, but well said. I don’t think for one moment that the Aussies would stoop to that level,. The Aussie will play football with skill and technic and prove to the world just what sport is all about (again). There is so much talent is Australia, I know I have seen it in many sports. Good luck Australia see you in 2010.

hopefully Aust. v. Japan in the asian cup final
that was a great match, and Japan will be very keen on reasserting their status in asia!

Sure we dont need to insult the Italians but it is our right to express our disgust at the inequality you see in football these days. Diving, shirt pulling and cheating have gone unpunished with the only player booked for diving being a Ghanan – a black player. Then you have FIFA suspending Frings after Italian pressure. You have Zidane sent off after being called a “dirty terrorist” by Materazzi, a player known for his dirty tricks after analysis of video footage during a match. You have Grosso wearing his scuba gear along with Malouda and Figo. What the hell happened to FIFA Fair Play? Teams like Australia deserved their right to play in the world cup – all we ask is for fair treatment. It was clear that every referee that we had was below standard. I have a simply question – why should Australia and other smaller footballing nations continue to develop the game if they will continue to get unfair treatment on the world stage? All we ask is for fair treatment especially when teams like Italy, France and Brazil are getting special treatment. Just ask the Refereeing committee – they say that their main objective is to protect the players from injury (and ultimately litigation from the club teams). What happened to referees officiating matches to make sure players follow the rules?

FIFA conspiracies are simply not plausible, last world cup apparantly the refs favoured the smaller teams, this world cup they apparantly favour the bigger teams.

Up until the Croatia-Aust. game Graham Poll was a highly respected referee and was thought a possibility of doing the final. Honestly in terms of referees many sides got tough calls (including the oft-forgot red card in the Italy-Aust game for example), its a part of the game.

As to FIFA encouraging fair play, I have to agree with you that their record is poor, there is a clear need for (at least) retrospective card review/allocation to stamp out at least the most obvious acts of foul play. And although Australia were relatively mild, we were far from guilt-free on this front too.

(see: http://www.informationbuilders.co.uk/ontheball/wcuk.htm )

finally, what Materazzi said is still unknown, so one shouldn’t jump to conclusions especially given contradictory ‘lip-readings’ in the press!

Nikko, that would be good only I am Scottish and support England. Although I have lived in Aussie for 5 yrs before coming here. Have a good day.

What a load of crap.

Zidane did wrong and so he was punshised. End of story. DOnt justify his action. If Italy had done wrong, they will be subject to same punishment too.

The match was won and it was legitimate. fortunately for me, justice was served coz Italy went into penalty kicks. In that way, it was down to “fair play” — that is “no shirt pulling”, “diving”, “racial slurs”, “provocation”, 10-man team versus dirty team…blah, blah blah blah…..

So Italy won on penalty shoot-outs, thats fair and square. Its about time all u losers give it a rest.

Ya whateva woo hoo, spammy spam…

I do not care

Well it comes to an end…

What can I say it’s been absolutely fantastic!!

Congrats to Germany for all the hard work they put into the Tournament which turned out to be great!

It’s definitely a World Cup to remember…

ALot of work went into it, you wont be dissapointed

“why should Australia and other smaller footballing nations continue to develop the game if they will continue to get unfair treatment on the world stage? All we ask is for fair treatment especially when teams like Italy, France and Brazil are getting special treatment.”

HAHA i laigh at comments like this … So it was real fare that materazzi got a red card which sould not have even got a yellow … oph and you taljk about diving and faking .. what about after the tackle matrix does to breshiano .. and breshiano rolls like 7 times and endus up real close to the goal, yet the tackle occured out side teh box … what about the fact that Harry Kewele should not have been playing against Croatia (should have been suspended for abusing the ref) and therefore Australia would not have won the game .. or what about against japan when Cahill should have got a second yellow card which wuld have seen hm sent off (as he already had goten one) and once again would have seen Australia lose the game 9as this happned before he scored the 2 goals .. in addition japan would have got a penalty kick as it was done in the box (so could have been 2-0 to japan) So why dont you open you blind eyes ok .. surre you got some bad calls against you but if anythign it all evened out and in reality you got the better end of the stick .. AND WELL ID JUST LIKEE TO SAY FORZA ITALIA .. No body believed me when i said there the best team in the world and that they would win!!!!!!!!

They aren’t the best team. Only you recognise that but not the rest of the world

Well, the rest of the world could demonstrate it on the field, but we won al the matches except one…

Anyway, please at least here, stop claiming that Materazzi said this or that, noone knows what Materazzi and Zidane said to each other, so I think the only thing to do is condemn the violenct act of Zizou,
for the good of football,
for what Zizou had done in all these years with the ball between his feet.

Kwang from Singapore:

You must be suffering from some really serios delusions if for a moment you believe Italy didn’t deserve to win the World Cup…

…I suggest you take time to calm down your anti-Italian hatred, & spent 6 or 7 years trying to learn a thing or two about football & sportsmanship.
Not that you’ll get there, but your self-destructive attitude might dwindle, & your pent-up hatred might loosen.

Do it Kwang, for your own good.

Or come to Malta to relax in the Mediterranean sun, I’ll offer you a cold drink on the house :0

Goodbye everyone. It was great. Until the next World Cup, all the very best to everyone. Thank you, Matt.

The ghana player was not the only one to be booked for diving. what world cup did you watch?

So, does the dive by Masouda in Italy’s final against France set the record straight for the Australian tribune?

Did the Italians complain about it? No.

Soccer_fan: You are either a peculiar person, very young, or weren’t paying attention in school when the teacher was explaining the concept of racism.

The fact that Materazzi is a reknown MOWLER (if I was his coach, I wouldn’t risk putting him on the field), THAT DOESN’T MAKE HIM A RACIST.

On the other hand, I found a lot of racism on this site by bloggers who were posting insults against Italians.

From “The Times”
Zinédine Zidane has been sent off 14 times in his career, two more than Vinnie Jones. Here are those red cards in full . . .

Sep 1993: Marcel Desailly, the Marseilles defender, punches him and the Bordeaux midfield player retaliates in kind.

Aug 1995: Slaps Thorsten Fink, a Karlsruhe player, in the face.

Oct 1995: Sees red for a tackle from behind on Frédéric Mendy, a Martigues player.

Sep 1996: At Juventus, sent off against Perugia after two bookings.

Jan 1997: Punches Enrico Chiesa, of Parma.

June 1998: Stamps on Fuad Amin, the Saudi Arabia captain, during World Cup finals.

Oct 1998: Commits a two-footed challenge on Paolo Sousa, the Inter Milan player.

Oct 1999: Receives a second yellow card for diving against AS Roma.

Sep 2000: Late challenge on Emerson, the Deportivo La Coruña midfield player, in Champions League.

Oct 2000: Butts Jochen Kientz, of SV Hamburg, and receives five-match ban.

Feb 2004: First sending-off at Real Madrid for thrusting hand into face of Pablo Alfaro, the Seville defender.

May 2004: Sent off for second booking after a rash challenge on Djalminha, the Deportivo midfield player.

April 2005: Tries to punch Quique Álvarez, the Villarreal defender.

July 2006: Butts Marco Materazzi in chest during World Cup final

“Anyway, please at least here, stop claiming that Materazzi said this or that, noone knows what Materazzi and Zidane said to each other” – The footage speaks for itself: Materazzi following Zidane around like a bad smell and won’t shut up; Zidane says nothing.

hello my name is marco and iam gay

Erik, Zidane had already said what upset Materazzi and then, on top of it, he headbutted him.

Oops, I am sorry, is this a French or an Australian blog?

However, notice though how the Italians didn’t start arguing with the French. In fact, Gattuso almost complained to the referee when he showed Zidane the red card.

Oh, and Erik, the ones who were making allegations about what racist remarks Materazzi made were… all French! So, are you telling yourseves to shut up?

Sorry, Aussies for taking your space…

here is an insight for all of you who still think Grosso dived against australia

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2PgG8j0gyQ&search=grosso%20australia

he wouldve scored if Neil hadnt been there.

then look at Malouda’s dive. Now that, my friends, is a dive. Materazzi doesnt even touch him. No one does…

P.S. I love Aussies btw. I love their team too.

oh woops .. some one already put it up haha

oh and Erik .. i donno if you have ever watched football before, but Defenders (what materazzi is0 are meant to follow midfilders and forwards around, so they dont get the ball and score .. i hope you understand now hahaha wat a joke

Catherine,

I am glad somebody else poined this out..look at my previous post. Henry and Malouda are the tru divers of the series!

Leon | July 6th, 2006 at 4:47 am

Anyone who claims this is not a penalty probably has never played football at any level.Grosso marauds along the left side of the pitch,manages to stay up after Bresciano’s tackle (if he was ill-intentioned he would have dived now and get a free kick from a good spot, instead he goes for the goal). He enters the box, Neill attempts a sliding tackle but misses both the ball and his feet (again would have been easier for Grosso to seek contact here). Now, Grosso by avoiding the tackle has lost his balance, his tired, tries to move forward but the defenders right and left arms are against both his shins (stop the video and look at those still footage!). He falls, referee rightly awards the PK. It’s not a bad foul and it was not Neill’s intention to trip him but the bottom line is that he prevents Grosso from going after the goal.It’s not the intention but the outcome that is penalized by the rules of the game. Again, try and play some real football and you will relaize that it’s not so easy as it looks on the telly. By the way, I am sick and tired of all these “cheaters” and “divers” accusations. I guess we have to thank that imbecil who circulated that “Italian training camp” video over the net.Very well done. I think that come out after Korea vs. Italy in 2002 when Totti was sent off for allegedly diving (by the way, that foul is even more evident…). In that game the referee did the following:
1) awarded a PK to the Koreans after their forward “died” in the box as someone slightly pulled his shirt. Few minutes later Vieri scored a header while a Korean defender was tearing off his…
2) Disallowed a legit goal by Tommasi that would have ended the game
3) Sent off Totti for the above…
We all know what happened next…
Anyway, apologies for talking too much about Italy on this blog. By the way, I love Ozzies and Australia and I go there regularly on vacation. Congrats to the socceroos and let’s enjoy what is left of this WC.

Posted from Japan

leon, although I agree with you that people should get over the whole penalty thing, here are a couple of points of order:
* the ‘italian training video’ was made by the guardian as part of an ad campaign for euro 2004, it could be any team (so you can label them French if you want), it got labelled as Italy by people on the web because of their reputation justified or not as divers
* technically Neil’s act comes under obstruction which is an indirect free kick as you describe the situation

but rough decisions are part of the game, Italy got one in losing materazzi, australia got one in the penalty – such is life … or football rather!

while I was away with work some clown hacked roundballfootball.com

it will be up asap.

Bah at that hacker i shall stab them with forks.

thank you leon for explaining the situation, indeed, Grosso has passed Bresciano who attempted to tackle him, and he did make attempt to pass Neil, but unfortunately, Neil raised his elbow and obstructed him from moving forward….should Grosso not have been tripped by Neil, he could have made a shot(he had demonstrated his ability to shoot from narrow angle in the game against Germany), should he fail, Iaquinta was soon to arrive at the penalty area in the centre, by that time, the goalie would have been too far left to stop him.

and as one of the fellow above said, Italian fans did not complain about Malouda’s dive, perhaps others should treat Italy more fairly. The previous World Cup was simply a scheme….Totti’s red card, unjustly awarded PK…and the 3 illegitimately denied Spanish goals….it was a nightmare for fair play….

anyhow…i’m sure we’ll see the Aussies in 2010…perhaps I would be in Australia even as most of my family members are there, cheers~

Nicko .. just a point .. you siad “technically Neil’s act comes under obstruction which is an indirect free kick as you describe the situation” .. you cant get a indirect free kick in football .. i have watched prob thousands of hours of football and never have i seen a indirect free kick in the box .. its either a penalty or play on .. and i dont care what is said in the rule books (which even then id question if sum one was making it up)

I know what you mean Marco, indirect free kicks are very rare, but they do happen – in fact I think they used to happen a lot more often than they do now, I remember many shots from free kicks within range having to have (not optionally having) that little touch first when I was a kid playing and watching football in the 80’s.
Having said that, as you say indirect free kicks in the box are non-existant (other than from pass-back infringements), tbh I’m not entirely sure why that is.

When I had to memorise the rule book to become a referee (I’ve since forgotten all the useless rules and also no longer ref!) I remember being quite surprised by the amount of things which should be indirect rather direct free kicks.

Personally were I reffing when I first saw it in real time (on the tele) I would have given a penalty however the replays for me show that Grosso basically realised that Neil was in the way and rather than stepping over him and smashing the ball into the net, decided that a penalty was the best option. In so far as the rules of the game attempt to make things ‘fair’ then in that sense I think an indirect free kick would have also been fairer aswell as technically correct (and yes I know many will disagree!) which is a big part of why Aussie’s are annoyed by it and claim it as ‘a dive’ even though it probably wasn’t in the strictest sense.

But yeah, you’re right that the indirect free kick defence is weak, though I must say it would be interesting to see why the indirect/direct difference is so rarely enforced given that if it were Grosso would have probably not ended up on the turf and would also probably have won the game in a much more stylish fashion.

PS on rereading just to be clear, I’m not saying Grosso dived, just that he decided not to try and get around/over Neil which he may or may not have suceeded in doing.

you no what else you gotta think about .. i dont think grosso could have gone around niel, but he could of been able to jump over him .. but if you think of it this was, what if he did jump and then niels arm just cliped his foot and then grosso is tripped and the ref looked at it as a dive then the free kick would have gone to niel, so no matter what happnes grosso was alwasy in the right .. ny way did every one heara aabout zizzu and how he got 3 games and matrix got 2 .. so basically its alright if you go an head butt people when ever they provoke you .. here is a good point on it

http://www.eurosport.com/football/worldcup/2006/sport_sto929153.shtml

Dear aLL SOur Grapers.
Reading all the poor sports comments on Italia’s WC victory is enough to make me both sick and sad at the same time. Italy was robbed in 1990, 94, 98 and in 2000 Euro when the French received 6 minutes injury time (was somebody shot on the field that day and I missed it). Italy played great against Ghana, great against the Chechs, great against Ukraine, great against Germany and good enough against France. Those of you who called Italy boring watch soccer once every four years and have no idea about the mechanics of the game. Regardless what all of you idiots say, only Italians and those who support us can say we are the champions my friends. And for the rest of you with sour grapes, you can all go to hell.

hey every one sign this petition

http://www.difendiamomaterazzi.it/

i think sum 15,000 people have already signed it (its to get FIFA to take matrix ban away

The satisfaction of winning the world cup is even greater after FIFA’s ridiculous ban for the Materazzi-Zidane incident.
Please help me here. Materazzi gets two games for saying to Zidane “son of a b….” and “I would prefer to see your sister naked, not you!”
Zidane gets only one more game of ban after ATTACKING A FELLOW PLAYER WITH VIOLENCE!”.
Fine, no problem. FOOTBALL HAS CHANGED.

Can you please reassure me that from tomorrow if a player say “son of a b…” on the pitch he will get two matches ban? Do you really believe this is going to happen? I promise I will be the happiest person in the world if FIFA is going to be consistent.

I played football in the UK for many years (non professional leagues) and in every match people swear. Football is not ballet. Do we want to change the rules? Great. Let’s ban EVERY single player at the first “F….You”, not only Materazzi. The will be no players on the pitch.

It just sounds odd that FIFA changed the rules since Materazzi said a bad world that nobody heard on the pitch. It never happened before. Don’t you find it suspicious?

The reality is that FIFA is so upset that ITALY won the world cup (France is very influential, think of Platini’s role for the FIFA!).

It would have been better for Brazil to win! More shirts sold, more adds on TV! This is why we are so happy to be world champions, we won against everybody wish!

Dear soccer fans.

This is ZIDANES’s IMMACULATE RECORD FOR FAIRPLAY:

Zinédine Zidane has been sent off 14 times in his career, two more than Vinnie Jones. Here are those red cards in full . . .

marco I would just like to say “Forza Italia” up your arse.

You certainly are the best team in the world. Especially when it comes to cheating your way out of everything. I’d like to see you win a game that did not involve diving or corruption.

Its funny how when some dumbass italian says some stupid comment on this site, it stay on here whereas anyone else says something, it has to be cleaned out and deemed racist, wonder who’s really running this sh*tty blog?

BTW matt ur an idiot no offence but really u need to get ur act in gear sunshine!!! Congrats my ass, italy were geared to win in this wc no doubt!!! But its gonna backfire on fifa u watch as WC football gets booted out the door. Only thing i’ll watch is Liverpool kick some AC Milan cheatin ass and when Juve come back hopefully show some of the Materazzi techniques on their ass’s. If thats the way FIFA wants the worldgame played then thats the way everyone will play, its time for a new name for football-diveball with takeouts and racism. What a great direction football is heading towards. Disgraceful. Awful. Terrible. GO Italy woohoo

Livostrikesback

I read your comments….dont make come over to Australia and kick your ass.

italy was no doubt deserving of their fourth star.

and forza milan.

Adelaide – Australia qualified for the 2007 women’s soccer World Cup in China after beating Japan 2-0 in an Asian Cup semi-final on Thursday.

Striker Caitlin Munoz put Australia ahead in the 10th minute and Joanne Peters scored just before half-time to complete the scoring.

Australia will play either China or North Korea in the Asian Cup final on Sunday.

Australians are perfect sportsman..that have never done anything wrong on the pitch.. that is why they judge everybody else because they are perfect. Everybody should be like Australia. If it wasn’t for one bad call and the fact that Australia couldn’t find the back of the net they would have played Ukraine in the quarters and lost. Better to lose to Italy than Ukraine. Thank you Australia for showing the Italians that you are such wonderful and understanding people who have never hurled an insult or used any form of violent behavior on the pitch. You are the best..stinkeroos.

keep shovelling that snow in Canada, aussie ausborn, your words are like water off a duck’s back. Tell us about the Canadian Football team, it’s as popular as a Canadian restaurant.

O my god!!!! now we italians masters of soccer have to learn from aussies how to stay in the field.
Dear so called socceros do what you are supposed to do better than other (e.g swimming, rugby, australian soccer) and give me a break, do not try to teach us about soccer and how to behave.

I think we really missed kewell.The only danger josh kennedy

sorry fred, you can’t mock a Canadian because unlike Australians we are able to laugh at our shortcomings.

I heard they’re lumping you guys in with the Asian teams this time around. I can’t wait to see Korea or japan kick your ass and teach you some football etiquette. Here’s to your failed attempt at qualifying for 2010.

aussie ausborn,

“you can’t mock a Canadian because unlike Australians we are able to laugh at our shortcomings”

gee, you must be continually laughing – how sad – no cure for your problem, eh?

Hey ..all you crocodile dundees bad mouthing Candada…the greatest country in the world. Stop it or I will be forced to come over there and kick your asses and boot your women.

I will boot your women anyway but you can avoid the ass kicking.

bet you cant find my spelling mistake in the previous post.

“Candada” is the spelling mistake. It should be Candida, the fungus that causes thrush. Canada is just an itch on the globe. If we sprayed Nystatin over Canada, it would disappear within 48 hours.

massimo the croc hunter,

last I checked Austarlia wasn’t part of the G8

last I checked Australia was ranked lower (way way way lower) than Canada in standard of living

last I checked Canada was the largest country (land mass) in the world.

So just confirm, I will be coming to Australia to kick your ass, and I doubt you have a woman …but if you do I am going to boot her.

Hows the weather?

weather is great

coming here to defrost your balls, eh?

you can have the membership to G8
your standard of living is NOT better, we grow every vegetable and fruit, Candida only has icecubes.
What’s the point of having the largest land mass when it’s all ice like Antarctica.

“Last time I checked Canada was the largest country (land mass) in the world”. Oh, yeah! Where did you check? You know little about the world. Check this site for the truth, twitto.

http://www.mongabay.com/igapo/world_statistics_by_area.htm

Canada’s the second largest land mass next to Russia.

massimo, who’s the better team Australia or Italy?

Italia!

try again…..get more updated info….take the small bus to school?

yeah, I’ll be taking the bus for sure – as the driver, driving you to kindergarten school, little john.

Now for the first lesson, and listen carefully, hey! pay attention junior.

Russia has a size of 17,075,200 sq.kms.

Canada has a size of 9,976,140 sq.kms.

Now using rough approximations, 17 is greater than 9. Are you following me, little john?

From this it should be easy for someone with a little mind like yours to conclude that Russia is bigger in land mass than Canada.

Tomorrow I’ll teach you how to count from one to ten and introduce you to the first three letters of the alphabet.

little john,

this is an update for you from Wikipedia:

“Russia is the largest country in the world by land mass, covering almost twice the territory of the next-largest country, Canada”

I’d throw out that 326BC encyclopaedia on which you base all your information, little john. You’re only 2332 years behind the times.

do you have to wear a helmet all the time or can you take it off for bed?

Don’t use communist figures and facts to make your point. Now apologise and pledge your allegiance to Canada, and abandom any loyalty you may still have for that penal colony called Australia.

PS I’m still going to have to kick your ass.

I’m sorry little john, I thought you were older – you’re only pre-school age. Here are a few tips for you mummy to teach you about numbers, as I promised:
You mummy can make pointing to and counting objects part of your daily routines, eg., as you pass out the juice cups at snack time, point and count the cups; as you pass out pieces of paper for an art project, point to the paper and count the pieces; count the children’s boots as you help take them off; count the stairs as the children walk down them.
Tomorrow, another lesson. Eat your vegetables, little john, you should have all your primary teeth by this stage.

Apology accepted.

Just realized that you forgot to pledge your allegiance to Canada. Also i know it’s not your fault (you were probabaly born there) but why was your family sent to the penal colony. (AKA Australia)

So a quick rendition of Canada’s national anthem will do.

Note….I’m still going to have to kick your ass.

Now that I have dispensed with massimo I can start to take apart other aussies.

I talking to fred who posted this

“Tell us about the Canadian Football team, it’s as popular as a Canadian restaurant.”

We will be there at the WC in 2010 and I have never ever ever ever never heard anyone say “i really have an urge for Australian food”

Whats the penal island specialty?…bread and water.

Dont make me kick your ass to.

An American is at a restaurant one morning having his coffee and a croissant with jam, when a Canadian man, chewing gum, sits down next to him. The American ignores the Canadian who, nevertheless, starts a conversation.

Canadian: “Do you Americans eat the whole bread, eh?”

American): “Of course we do.”

Canadian: (after blowing a huge bubble) “We don’t. In Canada, we only eat what’s inside, eh. The crusts are collected in a container, recycled into croissants, and sold to America, eh.”

The Canadian has a smirk on his face. The American listens in silence.

The Canadian persists: “Do you eat jelly with the bread, eh?”

American: “Of Course we do.”

Canadian: (cracking his gum between his teeth and chuckling). “We don’t, eh. In Canada we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds, and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam and sell the jam to America, eh.”

The American then asks: “Do you have s*x in Canada?”

Canadian: “Why of course we do, eh”, the Canadian says with a big smirk on his face.

American: “And what do you do with the condoms once you’ve used them?”

Canadian: “We throw them away, eh.”

American: “We don’t. In America, we put them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum and sell it to Canada.”

An Englishman, a Canadian and an American were captured by ter*orists.

The ter*orist leader said, “Before we shoot you, you will be allowed last words. Please let me know what you wish to talk about.”

The Englishman replied, “I wish to speak of loyalty and service to the crown.”

The Canadian replied, “Since you are involved in a question of national purpose, national identity, and secession, I wish to talk about the history of constitutional process in Canada, special status, distinct society and uniqueness within diversity.”

The American replied, “Just shoot me before the Canadian starts talking.”

This is how Canadians determined how to spell the name for their country.

They put a bunch of letters in a bag.

They pulled letters out one at a time.
C eh N eh D eh.

An intelligent Australian, an intelligent Canadian and the Easter Bunny got into a lift together and discovered a $50 note lying on the floor, who would pick it up?

The intelligent Australian. The other two don’t exist.

What’s the definition of “confused”?

What do you call a Canadian who does well in an IQ test?

A cheat.

How many Canadians does it take to change a light globe?

None – because Canadians hate being enlightened

How do you confuse Canadians?

1. Give them a box of M&Ms and ask them to arrange them in alphabetical order.

2. Sit them in a round room and tell them to find the corner

A Canadian and an Australian were walking in a park and the Australian said, “Oh, a dead bird!”. The Canadian looked up to the sky and said, “Where? where?”

How do you know when a Canadian’s been doing a crossword? Because all the squares are coloured in.

How do you give a Canadian a brain transplant? Blow through his ear.

Why do Canadians have ID cards. To remind them who they are.

There is a Canadian named John
Who enjoys dressing in chiffon
High-heal shoes are also his joy
As is his teddy boy

He lives in the land of ice
‘Cause homes are a bargain price
He shovels snow all day
As his face turns ashen grey

Australia is where he’d like to be
Rather than sunbathe in the Caribbean Sea
Australia won’t allow him entry
Because his mind is so elementary

This is an insult to this poor man
Who spends his life looking in a garbage can
For food to eat every day
Clothed in rags and complete disarray

Of humanity he is a pathetic soul
Thin as a fishing pole
Canada is not the place to be
When one loves to bark up a pine tree

Australia is the place he wants to reside
Where the land is far and wide
My word of advice
Is leave the land of ice

Canada is good only for polar bears
Or just to having been there
It’s not a place to stay
Where every day is charcoal grey

But John loves it still
‘Cause he’s one big dill
What more is there to say
To this man whose brain is puree

Hello… I have a new site on the world of football which covers football/soccer news from Australia to Italy, England, and Spain Germany and across Europe.

I hope you enjoy it and please leave your comments and tell me what I can do to improve on it

@tom….did you buy the one size fits all joke book?

How do you confuse ___________

Insert Canadians Germans Chinese Left Handed People Blondes ect….

ansewer
1. Give them a box of M&Ms and ask them to arrange them in alphabetical order.

2. Sit them in a round room and tell them to find the corner

Thank god your way over there in Australia were you can’t hurt anyone. You have just proven why you and yours were sentenced to live in the penal colony.

Now I have to kick your ass to.

Learn English, johnny boy, “Now I have to kick you ass to [sic]“. The correct word, johnny boy, is “too”, but being a pre-school kid I fully understand your lack of knowledge in English.

johnny boy has no class
All he says is “I’ll kick your ass”
It’s a sign of knowing few words
And a notice he’s one of those queer birds

His threat is one to ignore
For this child belongs in a candy store
Filling his mouth sweet after sweet
Then runs and sits on his potty seat

Do not tangle with me, little john
Just get on your bike and cycle on
Go as far away as you can
Perhaps to kasakhstan

A poor sod like you
Is not worth a branch of bamboo
For your words reveal you’re a goon
Or is it better to say baboon?

So finally I will suggest
Do not tangle with me, the best
Who can throw insults from afar
To you, who’s brainless like coal tar

Also, johnny boy, I won’t bother replying to any more of your repetitive and boring “kick your ass”. It’s obviously the best you can do – worse than a broken vinyl record – you’ve got scratches throughout that small brain of yours. You need a neurosurgeon to smoothen out the scratches, a psychiatrist to solve your bed-wetting and a English teacher to correct your baby talk.

@tom…….Don’t I feel stupid, mispelling to(o). You got me croc. dundee.

I have never met anyone who writes so much and say’s so little.

Now I have no choice but to(o) (2) (two) kick your ass.
If you say sorry I might go easy on you.

next

One more thing….apologise for Neill’s tackle on Grosso.

Gee, johnny boy, you are really one dumb ars*hole. What happened to you, did you fall out of a stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down. You are proof that evolution CAN go in reverse. You’ve got the IQ of room temperature, and I’m talking about degrees in centigrade. The last time I saw someone like you is when I had to pay admission and it was behind bars and I fed it bananas.

You’re not being nice to johnny boy, Tom. John is my frien. I need john every day – we all need john every day. Sometimes I miss and wee all over him and other times, well, you know what’s its like when you defecate. john opens his mouth and swallows it all. He’s always full of sh*t.

That’s disgusting, Tom. I wouldn’t sink so low in demeaning johnny boy. johnny boy, don’t listen to Fred, he’s only in the gutter sitting next to you.

Fred are you talking to me? But I thought my name was Tom, or is it Fred?

Don’t confuse simple-minded little john, he can’t handle more than one name at a time.

Fred, Tom, Robert, Michael, Richard, Evan – does it matter? At least we are not called after a toilet.

“I’m off to the john”, says john.

Proof that a toilet is named john

regarding your ….i guess humour? normally i would say nothing and just let you keep making a fool of yourself, however it’s getting embarassing. throw that old joke book away….true humour cant be taught.

i thought you weren’t going to respond to my posts? not even a man or boy of your word. is this typical for aussie’s?

what happened to the apology for what neill did? do the right thing and restore some honour to yourself and country.

fred can you recommend a good …..ha ha ha ha…australian restaruant? sorry thought i could ask without laughing.

you both know the ass kicking coming, but it looks like i am just going to have to slap you …bitch slaps. you have to be a man to earn a punch.

regards

litte johnny boy can write more than three lines. You’ve progressed to primary school in only a few days. I am doing all the ass kicking, little johnny, and you’re at the receiving end and just can’t handle it. I think you’ve had enough by now little one. If I continued kicking your ass (where your brain is located) you would be brain dead in no time – you’re almost there, anyway. So long loser.

yeah, get lost loser, you dumb Canadian. Why come on the Australian blog site and make puerile comments. Oh! that’s right, there’s no Canadian blog. Gee, bad luck, loser john. There never has, isn’t and never will be a Canadian blog site for the World Cup, ’cause Canadian have one person who can play the game – go watch hockey, loser, or better still, curling, hahahaha, only in Canada can there be such a moronic sport. What did I say sport. Curling? I’d rather watch grass grow. Get off this site, little bad john, little baby john.

Fred is that you Vinnie?

Irish,

I have to hand it to you – you’ve got ESP. Just playing mind games with this joker john who reminds me of Josh.

Vinnie -

The three pees was the give away! (lol)

BTW, Jane has been raised from the dead!

Irish,

impressed with your memory, mighty impressed – I just love those three pees – LOL

yeah, I read the sad tale, really sorry for her father-in-law

I lied to you that time – I have reached level 5 a few times, but many years ago – can’t take that level any more, not even level 4

Keep talking fred, your words show your ignorance much more than anything anyone can write about you.

Canada has been to a few world cups…….many more than just one great player (assuming your talkin about the star of the English Team Owen Hargreaves)

Why cant you just apologise abouts Neill tackle on Grosso and I’ll be on my way? You know it’s the right thing to do.

tom i am glad your not responding to me anymore, i cant take more of your horrible posts. The nonsense and the terrible attempts at humour. however i will permit you to respond to me one more time as long as it’s an apology, and for god’s sake keep it brief.

as alway’s….going to kick your ass.

regards

You want me to apologise for Grosso doing a triple somersault over Neill when morons like you massacred over 335,000 baby seals this year? First get your facts right, then follow this with your priorities, you purblind ars*hole.

hey, little johnny boy, Fred is right. You should apologise, not to use but to the world. You should apologise for the existence of Canada, a nonentity. I have a map of the world and removed Canada from the map, and guess what? The world looks balanced. There’s a greater artisitic perspective to the world without Canada. Canada is akin to Pluto, it should be demoted to a piece of land not fit to be called a country, or nation, get it, little john?

from soccer to seals….well at least your focused enough to stay in the S’s

apology accepted…i thought it was four somersaults over neill but whats the difference neill caused it.

approx 460,000 baby seals harvested last year just in the Toronto Area. i personally took care of thirty. 25 i used for food, making boots and belts ect…the other five i just kicked their ass cause i could….so i did.

now apologise about using the wrong number of seals slaughtered.

tom tom tom….im glad australia exists. its a place we can send our criminals, it hosts the academic special olympics (which it continues to win gold medals at) and provides us such great actors such as Paul Hogan.

now apologise for australia’s failure to contribute anything of substance to the world.

going to kick your ass

regards

“apology accepted…i thought it was four somersaults over neill but whats the difference neill caused it.”

You’re delusional, little john, seeing nonexistent apologies.

Your other imbecile statement is “now apologise about using the wrong number of seals slaughtered.” Even one is one too many, d*ckhead. But look at this site for your lack of information

http://www.harpseals.org/

There’s really no point in continuing for I can plainly see you are near braindead from your irrationality and stupidity.

i’m not giving up the seal hunt, period. i like me seal boots, seal vest and seal belt. plus i just like the feeling i get by kicking a seal’s ass.

i said it was more than 335,000 as quoted by fred, the real number is 460,000…can’t you read? don’t send me a link to a tree hugging, socialist borderline communist website. My numbers come from the brave men and women on the field hunting down the seals on the mean streets of toronto.

make your apologies cytsal clear about.

1. neill rugby tackle on grosso.

2. australia’s failure to contribute anything of substance to the world.

going to kick your ass

regards

john

I accept your apology, little john. Now that you have learnt to apologise, you can go straight to grade 2 primary school, where you will learn not to lie. I can’t continue monitering your education like this. It’s a pity Canada cannot educate its young. I have done my job. It’s time for me to move on and to educate other unfortunates like yourself on WCB.

one less aussie poster is a good thing. iq of this blog just jumped.

now as difficult as it may be stick to what you said and go away……..remember what i told you about being a man / boy of your word?

this intellectual beating i gave you will hurt more than the physical one coming your way…bruises heal but psychological damage is forever.

perhaps your leaving this blog can be used as an example of one of australia’s contributions to the world. nah….don’t get excited, your irrelevant. good luck with that personality thing.

Can’t fix your broken record, little johnny boy. Almost had it there. Update, little one. Try MP3 or MPEG, PCM, WMA, WAV, etc.,

Hi, Fred

We’ll have to ask Bob of WCB to set up a Canadian blog site just for john, poor guy is all alone. Canada has never been in a World Cup Final, never will, not with their frozen testes – they’ve got no balls. He’s such a mental defect to think that my decision to stop educating him means I have abandoned the Aussie site. Ignore him, Fred, I’ve discovered he’s a computerised program that responds to certain words. Similar to WCB deleting certain entries when particular words are used. Just watch it (little john) come back with a similar response. He’s very predictable.

Do you really think he’s just a program? He IS repetitive. I think you’re right, Tom, now that I think about it. Best to ignore this program. It’s very similar to those programs in Yahoo Chess, repeating the same statement over and over and over.

fred,

don’t go down the same road as tom and try to spar with me via posts. see what happened o him, i turned him into a bigger babbling idiot than he was.

walk away…..don’t make me do it.

can i sell you a genuine baby seal skin belt? there must be a good market there for quality baby seal skins.

heres the video post of neill assaulting grosso with that tackle. feel free to share it with your friends. i wonder if neill’s boyfriend’s name is bob. get it bob and neill….ofcourse you don’t ask someone about it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2PgG8j0gyQ

going to kick your ass ….but walk away from the psychological beating i implore you.

regards

See, Fred, I told you it’s a program.

you’re right, Tom, sorry I doubted you.

i’m good……..damage accomplished.

gonna kick your ass
regards

john

gee, Fred, what a program, it appears to be beyond repair – can never rely on Canadian programmers. All that ice must cause shrinkage in their copper wires, shortfusing their circuits. You must admit, Fred, it was an okay program for a while, pity it now speaks gibberash.

Soon it will repeat over and over “danger Will Robinson, danger Will Robinson”.

you both should be thanking me. how often do you get a chance to corresond with some in the top 1%?

your welcome. however still going to kick your ass . if you have any questons about life , science, math, history and or philosophy please let me know. i will tell you to google it, i have no time for the 95% ters.

regards
john
mensa….top 1%

work this one out – this is not a trick question. It took me 2 minutes when I was directly asked by someone in my presence, but you have the advantage of me not knowing if you are cheating.

In front of you are ten stacks of coins marked, naturally, from 1 to 10. Each coin is identical. Each coin weighs 1gm – BUT – in one of the stacks the coins weigh 2gms each.

You have a weighing machine and only one record can be taken from this machine. So if you place all the coins on the machine you will naturally get 110gms. You have to decide how many coins and which coins you are going to place on the weighing machine. Once you have a reading from this machine you have to determine which stack has the coins that weigh 2gms each. Go, Mr Mensa.

Another one, bright spark.

You have ten small trees. Your job is to plant them in such a manner that you end up with five rows of trees and each row must have four trees. How do you achieve it?

The tree problem took me 46 seconds to solve

“you both should be thanking me. how often do you get a chance to corresond [sic] with some [sic] in the top 1%?

your [sic] welcome. however [sic] still going to kick your ass . if you have any questons [sic] about life , science, math [sic], history and or philosophy please let me know. i will tell you to google it, i have no time for the 95% ters.

mensa….top 1%

Just a few corrections for Mr Mensa bottom 1%.

I forgot to mention that in each stack there are ten coins, making a total of 100 coins. You have 30 mins from the time this is posted.

get serious…..i dont use crayon. go to a site (your not sharp enough to to try and stump me)and get a 1% question.

john
mensa….top 1%

too difficult, eh, little johnny.

how about 4 minus 2

I’ll give you a year for that one

hahahahaha

loser

Oh, now I get it. You are a member of that other MENSA. The Mentally Embalmed Nerds Simpletons & Asses.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What a loser

Earlier I had promoted you, little johnny, to grade 2 primary school, but I can see you can’t handle it. You persist with the incorrect use of the word “your” e.g. “your not sharp enough to to try and stump me”. The word “your” refers to something that belongs to or relates to the person who is being spoken to, e.g.,

What’s your phone number?

The word “your” is the form of the possessive case of the personal pronoun “you”. You should have written either “you are” or “you’re”. Also the repetition of the word “to” in your comment is a sign of stuttering. I make you nervous, eh?

feel better about yourself now? you must be one of those people who teaches elementary school so you can feel like a professor…..thats (oh i mean that’s) it isnt it.

correcting spelling and grammar on a soccer blog….u gots me.

i didnt or is it didn’t (ill (i’ll?) let u tell me so you can puff out your chest) expect u to know what mensa stands for…..since no aussie has made it.

its (it’s) not an acronym.

and the intellectual beating continues….u are a glutton for punishment.

gonna kick your ass
regards

john

also…apologise to me and your fellow posters for wasting so much space on this blog with your elementary 2 bit comments.

gonna kick your ass
regards

john

I teach kids exactly like you. Kids who think they know it all, boast and brag, but the reality is they know very, very little. They are bullies always saying something like “gonna kick your ass” – sound similar? Members of Mensa never brag. There’s no need. There’s a Spanish proverb that says :“Tell me what you brag about and I’ll tell you what you lack”.

You have bored me endlessly. I will continue to comment on WCB

just a quick comment….well more like friendly advice, change your post name. tom’s name and reputation is cooked. that you did an excellent job on.

well i helped.

gonna kick your ass
regards

john

you can use tom one more time for the apology.

gonna kick your ass

john

borrrrrrrring! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

JESSICA LOVES MATT

I love matt frm jess

hey john…keep being an asshole, it drives your women away, and as far as i’m concerned those canadian women can keep coming over..they are tasty…and obviously don’t get it right over there…cause once they ‘come’ here they don’t leave…go figure…i personally will remove all their ‘maple’ flowers myself.

have a nice day.

Bob,

“they are tasty”…thats disgusting.

what your getting (if your getting any)is mine and my fellow hosers “sloppy seconds” so what your tasting is..__________cmon keep thinking …..now you got it….homo.

other than that take care.

dont make me kick your ass

john

i love your sloppy seconds…cheers for showing them how much of an asshole you are…you make me look really good.

enjoy trying to kick who’s ever ass is next…your a funny guy…i love canadians!!

I was just checking this site out again, haven’t been on it since our harsh defeat against Italy, but after our defeat on Sunday [21-6 in Rugby] i decided to see if it was still going. Rock on Australia! We’re going for gold in the Rugby world cup!

test

AHHHHHHRRHRHHRHRHRHRHRHR!!!! I FUCING HATE ITALI NOW!!! I KNOW ITS SO LONG AFTERWARDS AND MABYEW I HAVE BEEN DRINKING BUT FIUCK ITALIA FUCK THEM UP THERE STUPID ASSES!!! see thime now, no league coz they kill a cop, fucking idiots! fuck! we deserve to win, we would have won world cup not a buynf of cheatying fucklers like when they went back to there leage… argh! hulk smash! i hate u italia u fucking cunts!

HEY! mika, that was only a few days ago.. crazy how internet works, roommate spilt beer on my keyboard! bastared!@ hahaha.. i got work tomorrow.. boo!!!!

Yo leigh,

Australia had no chance in hell of making it to the WC final so stop convincing yourself otherwise. Italy did not take Australia very seriously, you could tell and even when they were a man down Australia couldn’t even muster up a decent shot on goal…give me a break..this is not a WC team. A world cup team wins against all odds and at any cost. Your boy neill f**ked up and that’s why you lost, stop blaming Italy for your mediocrity. The only excuse you have is that Italy cheated..just goes to show how stupid and childish people are these days! Get a hobby.

Italy always deserves to win

What more can i say than the italians are a bunch of dirty, cheating, diving pieces of crap. Always have been, always will be, until FIFA actually does something about it. Send off the scumbag cheats who dive and play for frees.
Cheating is part of italian life, from sport to politics. If you can cheat and win thats so be it. It sums up what they did in the world cup. The sad thing is italian supports actually think its ok to cheat your way through life. They should hang their heads in shame.
European and South American football has so much to offer, except the way they love to dive and roll around like they have been shot. FIFA and the refs have to come down on these cheats, their cheating coachs and cheating teams.
Anyone who was at the Australia v italy game will know they did not deserve to win. Who got the best player on the ground? Did someone say the italian goalkeeper? why you are correct. What does that tell you about game?
Australia wouldnt have got through to the final (my opinion) but they were playing good football, better than the italians anyway. Its just a shame that the best, fair, more sporting team on the day didnt get through. I can hold my head up high, being proud of the way the Australians played. And more than happy to say that i love to hate the italians. Cheating scum.

get a life you fucking poofters
