World Cup Odds: The Sound Of The World Cup
May 29th, 2014 by G WaldorfGone are the days, perhaps, when we had checklist on the wall for all the things we need to be ready for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil (we haven’t been able to get hold of one this time around), but there are a few things on the list: all the Australia World Cup odds so we can make a bet or two; a chart to see who Australia would have met in the knockout stages and to track the whole tournament; an alarm clock to get us up to watch the games at funny times (got to love the time difference); a truly awful motto to be written in huge letters on the side of the Socceroos bus; and a World Cup Soundtrack. It’s going well…

May 28th, 2014 by G WaldorfThe World Cup is just weeks away, and Australia have played their farewell game in front of a 50,000 strong crowd at the ANZ Stadium. Sure, it was a 1-1 draw against a pretty average South Africa side that hasn’t done anything to shorten Australia’s World Cup odds in the bookies eyes. And, sure, it would be fair to say that Read the rest of this entry »

May 28th, 2014 by G WaldorfWith the 2014 FIFA World Cup only weeks away, we find ourselves looking back at the tournaments that have been, and thinking of the players that have etched themselves in our memories. As Australia fans, we remember the Tim Cahills and the Mark Brescianos, but we can also appreciate the players who light up the tournament. And, whilst Australia’s World Cup odds suggest that the man who makes himself a hero in Brazil won’t be wearing green and gold – at least not in the knockout stages – we thought we’d have a little look at the candidates…

May 23rd, 2014 by G WaldorfWe’ve had the excitement of the announcement of the Australia squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, and there have been plenty of column inches spent on assessing Ange Postecoglu’s choices and the chances the Socceroos will have at the World Cup.

May 21st, 2014 by G WaldorfTimes have changed in the Australia soccer side. Ange Postecoglu has been talking the talk over the past few weeks and months, and now, with a bold selection of young (and pleasingly home-grown) talent, he’s set about walking the walk. There’s going to be no lack at all of pace in the Australia side, leaving the option of the lightning counterattack, but there will be a chronic lack of experience at the game’s highest level. Australia’s World Cup odds are looking long, and the youngsters will need Read the rest of this entry »

May 21st, 2014 by G WaldorfThere are always a few jitters before a big tournament, we imagine, and the biggest tournament of all is coming to Brazil when the 2014 FIFA World Cup arrives on the sun-kissed shores of the nation that has won it more times than any other. But the Brazil team seem to be one of the points of relative calm in a Brazil racked by mass protests, riots, serious security concerns and severe delays in the preparations for the World Cup.
