now, it's a pointless friendly, Greece were too shit to make the 24 team Euros and our lot are struggling for game time in Europe's second tier leagues 0 plus it's raining and they're playing the same damn fixture in 48 hours - what's the bloody point?
You make some good points but settle down. It an end of season friendly played with very little at stake

10 years ago we were heading to a WC for the first time in 32 years.

Of course it had more significance then

Not also forget back in those days we barely played games at all let alone in this country. After the 2001 WC loss in Montevideo it wasn't until 2003 when we beat England we had a significant game other than the usual Fiji Samoa clashes

Now we are spoiled.

Socceroos play every month or two
