Despite the courage and endurance shown by our side tonight, I think we have to realise that this wasn't our best. Everyone is happy for the team, but this experience is hollow, for tonight there was an absent guest at our feast. All of you know who I'm referring to, the one great and mighty opponent we failed to triumph over in this cup. Lest anyone mistake me, I speak of the greatest football side in the world: Iran. While Australia did progress from the quarter finals into the semis and then the grand final, It's fair to say that had things not turned out like this then events would have been different. That's why I think everyone in the dressing room is tonight sitting down with empty hearts. Heavy thoughts weigh on them, for theit victory came against a side less than the ultimate. Iran, This is for you.
That's OFC and AFC done, next stop CAF and then the rest of the other confeds. All your regions are belong to us
Typical western mentality lol. You conquered korea not afc. Without timmy cahill australia will stuggle to even make the world cup.
Congratulations, you have beaten Oman, Kuwait, China, and South Korea to win the Asian Cup title, the most prestigious tournament on planet earth.
Oh yeah, I forgot. Iran got a bad decision, so the Asian Cup is invalid and your team's brilliant fightback to tie at 3-3 in extra time doesn't count, because you lost on penalities so it was all down to the red card. Makes sense.
You know, it's kind of hard to win on penalties when your goalkeeper has been injured for 2 games, and when the ref clearly wants your team out.
What's that Skip? Iranians blaming their penalty shoot-out miss on a referee? No, I don't get the reasoning either.
veleshon konid. bezar sarmaste bade bashan. chera haleshono begirim. ye kam class dashte bashid. Farewell AC 2015 with all bad memories attached.!
Our trophy says champion s of Asia, not champions of Korea. We conquered the entire confederation and are your champions! Feels good baby! Still looking through our squad roster and don't see a Williams listed. Ahh well, looks like Iran have to be content with 8th place
Lol just leave the australians alone. You know when white people win something no matter what they consider themselves the best in the world. Congrats
Weird, I thought that was your team that did that by pegging the Iraqis back every time they went ahead. But no, I guess the only thing that happened in that game was a bad refereeing decision.
Dammit I knew my light brown skin would come back to haunt me. This famous victory is dedicated to our Iraqi brothers! Now we know that amazing feeling of lifting this trophy like you did in 2007 and it is fantastic!
Oh look, the victims are here to troll yet another thread. Yawn. On topic: Congratulations to Australia.
But it's an Asia-Pacific country. Get with the times. "Asia" is such an old term now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia-Pacific
