    Mate you have no idea what you are in for seeing big stars like that going full tilt for their country (or if you are lucky to watch them for their clubs etc).
    Still probably the best thing ive ever seen live was watching Zambrotta and Cannavaro vs the Aussies back in '06. An absolute masterclass.
    Did you miss the bit about top drawer players with a huge profile?? Those blokes you mention may be top drawer players (though I think that RVP bloke is a bit over rated) but they don't have the jaw dropping profiles CR7 Messi Neymar etc do

    I will appreciate the likes of Xavi/Iniesta etc with my love of all things Tikka Takka but it would have been good to get one of the real rockstar superstars of the game

    So you think getting beaten 6-0 by Brazil and then 6-0 by France are acceptable because they are friendlies and not a reflection of issues with the Socceroos and their diminishing reputation???

    I still stand by my opinion that Manure basically always get the best post-group draw in the Champos (and usually the best group draw)

    Cue Manure fans showing my individual instances of this not happening, but it's my conspiracy theory & I'll do what I want with it.
    OK
