Gilde "Austria Red Devils" » bly the most entertaining and exciti

The Socceroos face four months of painful reflection before theyll get a chance to remedy their dismal World Cup qualifying performance against Thailand.Tuesday nights lacklustre 2-2 draw with Group B stragglers Thailand has left both the Australian squad and their hopes of making the cut for a fourth consecutive World Cup hurting.Having slipped out of the automatic qualifying spots into third place, the Socceroos next fixtures in March, against Iraq in neutral territory and the UAE in Sydney, take on a whole new level of importance.While qualification is still in their hands, any room for error has now gone.Ange Postecoglous national team entered Bangkok as red-hot favourites and departed with a weak 2-2 stalemate that threw up more questions than it did answers.Just as difficult as it was to miss the chance to top their group, left-back Brad Smith was dreading the long period of stewing over everything that should have gone differently.Its just disappointing that weve got to go into the four-month break now before the next game, Smith said.If you go into the break with a win its a lot better, but now weve got to think about it for four months.Not one of us really performed that well, and it showed.Giving the ball away a lot, it affects the team. Its very disappointing from every single player.Former Socceroos goalkeeper Mark Bosnich slammed Australias display at Rajamangala National Stadium as pathetic and the worst hes seen in Postecoglous three years at the helm.Defender Trent Sainsbury said the team didnt deserve to take a point, which they only managed courtesy of captain Mile Jedinaks two penalties.You can look at a whole bunch of things, make a whole bunch of excuses, but at the end of the day the Thais put up a good fight and we let ourselves down, Sainsbury said. Where: O2 Arena in London, England When: Saturday Sept. 10, 2016 from 7 p.m.Heres the latest and greatest build-up from the likes of ESPN reporters Dan Rafael, Steve Bunce, and Nick Parkinson ahead of one of the most eagerly anticipated fights of the year,?Gennady Golovkin vs. Kell Brook.1.?How Gennady Golovkin-Kell Brook was madeKell Brook:?Instantly, I said yes to this fight because I want to be in exciting fights and this is so exciting. Its the biggest fight in world boxing and I want to give back to the fans and push myself to achieve the most that I can.Gennady Golovkin:?I thought we had a fight with Eubank Jr., now its with Kell Brook, which is very good for me. I promise a Big Drama Show for the UK. fight fans.2.?London lure too big for Gennady Golovkin to pass upGolovkin will fight for the first time in the UK, years after a potential match-up with Britains Darren Barker fell through and having defeated Martin Murray and Matthew Macklin overseas.Fighting in England, Golovkin can continue to build the reputation it once looked like he may never have.I like the UK fans, Golovkin, 34, said. People in the UK understand boxing. Theres a lot of history and tradition.3.?Why Gennady Golovkin is the Eastern Blocs shining lightGennady Golovkin is arguably the most entertaining and exciting boxer yet from the Eastern Bloc, a man with a traditional background, an Olympic veteran and top international amateur fighter.He is part of that rich history aand he has embraced the American idea of entertainment, which is something other great fighters from his culture have failed to do.dddddddddddd.He is everything that most of the other Eastern Bloc fighters are not; Golovkin is mean, he can fight and he is great to watch. There is no safety-first with GGG.4.?Does Kell Brook have any chance against Gennady Golovkin?Ever since the Gennady Golovkin-Kell Brook match was announced, pundits and fans alike have been figuratively digging the Englishmans grave.A suicide mission, you say? Well, not quite but GGG, the unified middleweight titleholder, has been installed a prohibitive 8-1 favorite to hand Brook, who owns a welterweight belt, his first defeat, if not his head.5.?Kell Brook: Knockout king Gennady Golovkin doesnt scare meIm not scared of him. Ive had so many things that have happened to me, like being stabbed [two years ago] and thinking I might not fight again, so this for me -- fighting Golovkin -- is sport and I dont fear him.Ive heard about his power but hes going to have to show me what hes about. I know Martin Murray went 11 rounds with him and hes a very tough man. It might come down to the skill, and who wants it the most. It might come down to the sweet science of the game.Now youve caught up, vote the greatest bout between two previously undefeated fighters ' ' '
