Australia Socceroos beat Bahrain in World Cup qualifier THE Socceroos escaped with a barely deserved 1-0 win this morning in Bahrain after a World Cup qualifying display to embarrass all concerned. Against an apparently weakened and vulnerable Bahrain, Australia played without structure, intelligence or style and a goal in injury time from Mark Bresciano was grand larceny in stealing the points. From the off there was a lack of belief that suffused the entire team. Pim Verbeek has some harsh questions to ask of his highly paid stars, even allowing for Bresciano's goal which came when he chased down a loose clearance with 92 minutes on the clock and smashed the ball home . man of war ( ha ha ha when was the last time england won a war by themselves - yes the poor argies - world power that they are)... england won the world cup in 56 havent been close since, and the olympics , well that was "great britain" half your medals were won by scots and welsh, we actually flogeed england in the medals... and we beat you in football, in england, and we all hope we draw you in the world cup because we will beat you again... now take your warm beer and bugger off back to blighty you whining lover. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 68,00.html

You might want to start by getting some of your facts right, the decision on the hosts of the 2018 & 2022 World Cups will be taken in June 2011. 2018 will almost certinly be held in Europe, with Australia being favoured by many at FIFA to host it in 2022.

Also, maybe the rules were changed after they were given the WC?

Why the accusations earlier on in the thread that it would `kick-off` if held in England -from what I recall of our last international tournment hosting - EURO 96 - it was a great festive atmosphere with little sign of trouble anywhere ?
