  • Hahaha! Look at ...

    Hahaha! Look at Frank Arok, dancing like a clown - what a joke. Now Eddide Thompson (seen quietly bemused in the background to Arok's left) there was a brilliant coach for the socceroos and a good man.

  • With or without ...

    With or without their full strength team (no Valdano, Balbo, Caniggia, Burruchaga, Basualdo to name a few & needless to mention Maradona) in the context of 1988, even if it had been a 3rd division clubside from Argentina wearing the albiceleste, a loss to the Socceroos in that era was STILL completely unacceptable and inexplicable, especially a convincing win of such magnitude; 4-1!(bear in mind we held an almost full strength Brasil to a 0-0 draw earlier in the tournament. Credit to the Aussies

  • I am Argentine and ...

    I am Argentine and yes while u are correct this was by far NOT Argentina's starting lineup, or squad for that matter, it was still none the less Argentina, defending world champoins, and soon to be runners up of Italia 90' aswell.

  • unlike england we ...

    unlike england we have a local game called australia rules football which has much more popularity. we also have rugby which is also extremely popular. soccer/football finds it very difficult to compete with these other codes...thats why our world cup qualification was important because more people realised how good australia could be.
    question answered?

    As an Englishman, I'd like to know why Football has take so long to catch on in Oz. You lot are almost as bad as the Yanks, when it comes to appreciating the beautiful game.

  • Ok guys...this ...

    Ok guys...this wasn't Argentina's national team. First, where is Maradona in this game?
    There is only a couple of players from that world champion team in 1986(Luis Islas and Olarticoechea) we lose this game because we played with not even our second team...it was the Argentina's third team...only players from the national league, very very youngs, like Simeone for example, it was his 3rd match with the national shirt.
    Please country-men it was soooo penalty, only Garre can do such of thing.

    even kossie his former team mate is on my side


    "I say this in the nicest possible way, but Frank Farina was one of the biggest whingers I ever played with or against," Kosmina told News Ltd papers at the weekend.

    "He was always moaning. Whether it was right or wrong he'd always have a whinge. Not much has changed."
