Australia 5 Cyprus 0 :lol:

I think I am being generous.

If the Cyprus players play for their shirt (highly unlikely) then its Australia 3 Cyprus 1



They can't afford their shirts......... What :? Too soon 8) :lol:

Over the years I’ve lost count how many times I watched Cyprus huffing and puffing on the pitch for 90 minutes and every time it seemed so close yet so far because if you’re not putting the ball behind the net there’s not enough huffing and puffing that’s gonna save you… because the other team will score!

You see teams like Italy, Germany, Holland and a few others can relax for 80-90 minutes if they choose to do so and let you fantasize that you’ve got the draw in your pocket and then they get the nod from their manager and do 2-3 runs in the last 5 minutes or during extra time and score a couple of goals!

I recall some years ago when Italy and Cyprus were at 1-1 for a Euro qualifier and we hit crossbar twice at 89” and 90” and then at like 93” they dashed to the other side of the pitch and pulled a winner!

Yup… get used to that feeling Paphitis because Australia has a looooong way to go before they realize what football is all about.

I've lost count how many times Cyprus huffed and puffed and were demolished!

As for football, they already have come a long way and the A League is excellent quality and fully pro. The last team can beat the top team in Australia because the teams are evenly matched.

And, Australia has had a lot of soccer glory. Today was the first time an Australian Team was defeated by Holland so go figure.

That's because when Cypriots have a Football match they burn their stadiums down. I mean how stupid can you be? :lol:

They can't play Footy so they need to take out their frustrations!

I know what you are saying GR but if you sort of know you are not really in with a chance to win the cup then heart is all you can give it. If not, then don't go at all. That is the only way underdogs can sometimes pull it out of the hat. Makes for great viewing.

Do you really think Cyprus could pull off something like this?

Australia and Holland played 3 times before today. They never beat the Aussies EVER!

You really need to learn to differentiate friendlies from proper games. The one game that counted and you got battered :lol:

Well, we are going a bit deep now after some fun but, I see a victory for the 80 year old who finishes a marathon 16 hours after the first runner does. It depends on what you want out of it and how realistic your goals are.
