The only lemon out there is you. Piss off.
 
I reckon that the Socceroos will do pretty well.

I'm not at all a Socceroo's aficionado but I've had a feeling about this for a while. If it's one thing the Australian football team has going for it its balls....

Sure there's no golden generation this time, but the current squad's got that classic Australian never-say-die spirit.....

With Tony Popovic’s organised, high-pressing style, a mix of experienced leaders plus exciting young quick-as-you-like talents such as Nestory Irankunda and Jordy Bos, Australia can be one of those teams that exploit set-pieces and go all out on the counter-attack.

So, underdogs on paper, maybe but their never-say-die spirit and recent warm-up wins mean they’re very capable of nicking results, advancing from the group and perhaps causing an upset or two in the knockouts. Classic Aussie grit meets fresh legs so watch out world...

I might be an England fan and I get the age old sporting rivalry between us and Australia but there's something genuinely interesting about the Socceroos and how they go at these big tournaments.
 
I tend to think the Lemons are - not qualifying :) Italy yep a major one.
Its more so making up the numbers the way the WC keeps expanding and kudos those minnows and whoever makes it your in the big show - ask any outsider country their feeling is sweet nothing bitter :)
Our badge of honour by many posters here is making it 6 on the bounce - thats a win win :)

I agree.... 6 qualifications on the trot for Australia is something that the football family and Socceroo's followers on here should be proud of

And not really sure why No Mates has it in for the them...

I think as a football team and as a group of footballing individuals they're very likeable and in terms of that international football hierarchy, wouldn't have many people who would want to put shit on them....

It's a strange one!! 🤣
