Japan won 1-0 Iraq have nothing but pride to play for on Tuesday
was at Strathfield station last night during the game, got chatting to the guy in the ticket window, he and his mananger said they had recieved notice to plan for 70,000 to be at the game.
That active support last night was a joke. Far too many posers and Fanatics in there
That is correct, however it shouldn't take long for people to learn new chants rather then repeating the same stuff. Australia whoah oh oh oh etc
Need a 5 minute Dale Cavese going next week
As I said too many fanatics and other assorted posers in there. No different to the Green and Gold Army or whatever they were last called.
Apparently the poor ****s were not singing at 1 stage last night coz they were to busy arguing amongst themselves as to what to sing. FMD
You can dress a turd up but it is still a turd. Until they get rid of all the try hards in there then they will go nowhere and die a slow painful death
even though qualifying through asia is better in every respect for the socceroos, these games lack the romance of the once-every-4-years, all-or-nothing home and away ties against a team that we are not expected to beat.
i'm not saying i want to go back to the old system, just saying that we will never play another game that feels as big as 2005 against uruguay or 1997 against iran unless we make a world cup semi-final.

Log on and help out then.
Bought my tix in Aisle 119 the Monday b4 the Japan game.
I haven't been in active support since the Uzbek game in Sydney (2009).
Looking forward to losing my voice
I watched part of the game live from my neighbours last night.
They got all excited and I logged on and bought them tickets in Bay 611 Row 9.
Pretty good seats for a random internet purchase.
Hoping for a near sell-out at least. Anything above 70k + is a bonus.
Will all the new WSW supporters be getting onto this?
they should just let the active groups of club teams from the city the game is being played in run the support on the night. probably not a popular idea but having the cove, bwb etc. just do their normal thing with the words changed to straya or socceroos or whatever would be pretty sweet.

The people who have put their hands up to get the group going are leaving their club loyalties at the door. The tifo day last weekend was a mix of SFC and WSW people, plus myself. The only issues are on forums from casual crew tossers who arent Aussie supporters anyway.
Choose club over country thats your call, but stop bitching about those who want to get involved and make something better ffs

Respect to the people trying to get something started.
Observations last night were:
1. All the people in active support looked nothing like the people we see in the BWB or Yarraside.
2. A lot of the chants ARE similar to those done by certain clubs e.g the Sydney FC Crocodile Rock one. I know it's been around for the NT for a while now, but it still felt weird hearing that sung by a Melbourne crowd.
Just my observations anyway, not trying to criticise anyone's efforts but there are obvious issues with NT support that still need to be worked through. It'll be interesting to see what it's like in Sydney this week.
