Australia capitulates in Thailand
I just finished watching the last ten minutes of the Asian Cup match between Australia and Iraq. Australia lost 3-1 to an Iraqi team that seemed to have more energy and teamwork. Australia definitely seems to be struggling with the conditions as they were drenched in sweat and looked dog-tired. Perhaps the Australian players haven’t been able to psyche themselves up for this tournament, which is a shame because the Chinese commentators are disgustingly smug about the misfortune of the pre-tournament favourites. I don’t know whether it is because the Australians aren’t seen as true Asians or whether the commentators are still jealous of Australia’s World Cup success, but it seems that Chinese football commentators really hate Australia.
It looks like Australia won’t be playing in the next round of the tournament. I was really pissed off when the commentators said that the Australians would have a physical advantage in their next match against home side Thailand. What a joke! Didn’t they see that the extremely humid conditions had completely drained the Australians? And why does Australia have a physical advantage over Thailand? The Thais are quick and they’ve been brought up in such humid conditions. Surely, it is Thailand that has the physical advantage. The commentators are ignorant bastards who don’t give credit where credit is due.
