Well guy's what can i say but today is a good day to be British.Yes Kelly Holmes double gold was great.But the iceing on the cake was 4 x 100 relay.The US have such fine sprinters so for us to get the gold was unbelieveble.Yes Athens has been kind to the Brits and we have done much better than we could have imagined.
Proud to be a Brit today

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save The Queen.
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save The Queen.
O Lord our God, arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks;
On thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign.
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save The Queen.

cant say i remember venables as the national coach but then again i used to drink lead paint as a kid lol =P, but the current manager frank farina has done more for aussie soccer in the last few years than really any other coach before him. although we are yet to make it to the world cup well in my lifetime anyway =/. next time will be different tho as apparently asia/oceania is set to recieve direct world cup qualification. which is bloody about time too, we have to qualify twice in the current rules. first we have to beat all the teams in the asia/oceania sector, then we either have to compete for a spot in south america(which have 6 direct qualification spots i think) or the middle east(which has 1 direct qualification spot). its just doesnt seem fair under the current FIFA rules. how many years do you think i'd get for blowing up FIFA HQ?? =D.

I do feel for you there mate but europe will always get the bigger spoils for several reasons.
1.All the money in the sport is mainly in europe.
2.Club football is at the highest level around europe.
3.There is more countrys in europe that take the sport more serious than anywhere else.
4.Gives England a better chance to qualify.
Teams like Australia will never get anywhere near a world cup until they take the sport serious.Look at Japan Korea and even the US they are all now improving and becoming a force now they take a real interest.Teams like man utd,Madrid and Jueventus go over to the US and Japan to play pre season as the US has just discovered there is alot of dollars to make from the sport.This is the same in Japan and many more will follow suit.

thats true, granted i'll give you that, europe is entitled to have as many direct world cup qualifications spots as they deserve as europe is soccer crazy, theres alotta australians that play in the english premier league namely mark viduka and harry kewell simply because our national soccer league is not up to scratch money-wise and skill-wise, but a new and improved soccer league is in the making for next year called the australian premier league which will certainatly get alot more people interested and involved in australian soccer, but seriously for me personally i couldnt give to hoots about club level soccer in australia(although one of our national soccer teams, the wollongong wolves, made it quite far in the world club championship not to long ago, they didnt win but they got very close to the finals) its only when the australian national team(the socceroos) are playing that i really take interest. you see and thats the problem, here in australia there are way to many elite club level sports(aussie rules footy, rugby league/union, cow tipping lol j/k)that soccer takes a backseat to all these other games, well at club level anyway, but at national level australia is as soccer mad as the next european/south american country. what im saying is that although our national soccer league is lacking compared to european leagues, our national team(which when in full strength) has nearly 3/4 of players that play in elite overseas leagues simply because their that good, so why should we be punished just because the australian national soccer league is not up to the standard of lets say the english premier league when we could put up a hellva lot better fight than some countries that make it too the world cup(im not saying we're gonna win of course ;)) but i mean countries like say saudi-arabia dont have to qualify twice for the world cup they have direct qualification and they go down to countries like germany 8 nil. which leads me to my point if i even have one ;), world cup qualification should be based on national teams skills not how good their national soccer league is or how many people are actually interested in their national soccer league . i guess im just patriotic when it comes to national team sports. sport is a religion in australia you know ;).

Totally agree with you there Mick69 i think all should get a fair crack at qualifying for the world cup.It is unfair to base anything on club football.But if you look at the Engish,Spanish and Italian leagues this is where all the top players play like you pointed Viduka and Kewell out.But you need a good league to inject young talent in to it for the future as a nation.England and Spain have always under achieved as nations.But look at Brasil and Argentina most of there top players play in the top leauges which show in the world cup.Becuase they do so well in these competitions there club football is noticed by all the top teams in Europe and the players become hot property.Australia need to invest heaveier in club football to produce more Kewels and Vidukas so they can play top level.I do think though that the lesser football nations are now closing the cap.Look at Greese in Euro 2004 most teams would see them as a tricky team but still a beatable team.But as there top club teams now play in the biggest european club compitions it has had a knock on effect in Europe and the same with Portigul.
