Oasis frontman takes swipe at Socceroos
Thursday Oct 19 15:22 AEST
Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher has let rip at the Socceroos, saying Australians should stick to sports they're better at.

The keen soccer fan saw the Socceroos play at the World Cup in Germany this year and says he wasn't impressed.

Gallagher, renowned for his controversial outbursts, said he did not have a great deal of respect for Australians playing soccer.

"Stick to the Aussie Rules and the tennis and the cricket and the rugby, you are good at that," he told AAP from the United Kingdom.

     
     
     
"Football is the game of the intelligentsia and you are s*** at it.

"You will never win anything so give it up."

The 39-year-old is a keen follower of his hometown club Manchester City and was the unofficial mascot of Italian World Cup striker Alessandro Del Piero.

It was the Italians that dumped the Socceroos out of the World Cup under controversial circumstances, thanks to a hotly disputed last-minute penalty.

"What do they call them, the Socceroos?"

"Do me a f***ing favour, you could come up with a better nickname than that."

Gallagher says he has a particular dislike for Socceroos midfielder Tim Cahill, who plays for Liverpool club Everton.

"I don't know, there is something about him. I would love to kick him right in the bollocks."

Cahill scored two goals for the Socceroos in the World Cup match against Japan and was widely considered one of the country's best players of the tournament.

"He has just got one of those faces," said Gallagher, whose brother Liam is also in pop outfit Oasis.

"Don't you find his face really slapable? I can assure you, lots of people in England do."

Oasis toured Australia last December and next month release a 'best of' album, titled Stop the Clocks.

The album features a selection of what Gallagher considers the band's best work, including tracks such as Wonderwall and Morning Glory.

Despite his outburst, Gallagher said he liked visiting Australia and that he was "gagging" to get over for the Ashes cricket series.

"The last time was just brilliant so the sooner the better for me," he said.

Italian giants Juventus' problems deepened on Tuesday as team manager Gianluca Pessotto was described as being in a critical condition after jumping from his second floor office in an apparent suicide attempt.

Edit by Suzi... if you want to jump out a window and really mean it... go higher than the second floor!

The 35-year-old former Italy international defender, who was appointed to the post only last month, apparently climbed onto the window sill of his office, holding a set of rosary beads, and jumped off, bouncing off one car and onto another.

He was treated at the scene almost immediately and then taken by ambulance to hospital suffering from multiple fractures.

Pessotto, who won the 1996 Champions League with Juventus and played for them for 11 seasons retiring at the end of the last campaign, had apparently been on his own in his office at Juventus Football club at the time of his fall.

Juventus are due to face a sports tribunal this week over the match-fixing scandal that has engulfed Italian football. The row also involves Lazio, Fiorentina and AC Milan, although reports suggest that five smaller clubs - Empoli, Siena, Messina, Reggina and Lecce - are also to be charged.

News of Pessotto's being taken to hospital reached the Italian World Cup camp in Germany and a press conference called on the day after the team defeated Australia 1-0 to reach the quarter-finals was cut short.

Italy captain and Juventus defender Fabio Cannavaro walked out the conference when he heard from journalists about Pessotto's fall.

Pessotto is not among those facing charges at the tribunal, due to start on Thursday.

Cannavaro and four other current members of Italy's team play for Juventus.

"He was here with us the other day," Inter Milan defender Marco Materazzi said. "He's a friend, many of us have played with him on the national team. We hope he recovers soon, with no damage."

The scandal began last month with the publication of intecepted telephone conversations between former Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi and Italian Football Federation officials discussing refereeing appointments.

The scandal has so far brought charges against 26 people.

Chief investigator Francesco Saverio Borrelli would question officials from unidentified teams in Italy's top three divisions and conclude his investigation within a week, the federation said.

Pessotto attended Italy's 2-0 win over the Czech Republic last week in Hamburg.

He gained 22 caps with Italy, including the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Championship.

Italy's next match is a quarterfinal against Ukraine on Friday.

That ref, penalized Lucas Neill unfairly. I hope you get your butts kicked against Ukraine. WE WERE ROBBED !!  ]]> Tue, 27 Jun 2006 08:16:08 babes_mate http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/m-1147813910/ http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/m-1147813910/#num1
It is more of a punk/rock type of anthem. Good thing about it is mentions the late Johhny Warren and about the break of the 32 year drought. Part of their music features a bit of didgeridoo, but the other music I find does'nt suit the socceroo anthem. It hardly mention they beat Aloisi that kicked in that penalty goal shoot-out that got us into the World Cup.

Anyway I give this socceroo World Cup song, 2.5 out of 4 stars !!]]> Wed, 17 May 2006 07:11:50 babes_mate http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/m-1147565183/ http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/m-1147565183/#num1 Sun, 14 May 2006 10:06:23 Paula http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/m-1132924402/ http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/m-1132924402/#num1
