there will be a thread for us to talk about the game - my suggestion is to open it before the game kicks off and close all other windows/tabs
pre-emptive bannings may be required
As much as everyone hates it i honestly think when it comes to Australia vs Japan our best chance of getting a result is by optimizing set piece chances and tip-toeing the lines of aggression and everyone getting yellow cards, i couldn't give a f**k how we get a result in this particular game we just need to do it. The japanese have made it pretty obvious that they dislike when we use that style and for good reason.
My tip Aus 2- Jap 2
the most upsetting thing about the bulgaria comment is i don't think anyone can confidently say that we would beat bulgaria either.
boz - i am keen to sign up for this hour-delay foz
woo football day!!!!
Keen for sbs delayed kick off.
GTFO spoilers etc
horrible feeling we'll lose 4-0. 3-0 at half time.
I think we will snatch a 1-1 draw but they'll play us off the park
I just feel so thoroughly underwhelmed by this whole qualification process
the national team barely holds any interest now that we're utterly shit, old and uninspiring
Yeah, the old guard and poor tactics has left a bad taste in my mouth since before we left for the last world Cup. I've said it before and i'll continue to say it, I'd rather miss out on the next world cup if it meant rebuilding a squad of players who can become the next generation rather than putting our trust in a bunch of old guys who will make our 2014 squad the oldest in the World. 23-33 for 85% of the squad and the other 15% of 34-37 year olds for train on mentoring roles only.
Imagine being a young up and coming mid and you have Breshes or Kewell or Grella giving you sound advice on improving your game how much could Langerak learn from Schwarzer . it's win win.
I hope bozza flys over there and gives them a pre game talk, that last serving he gave to them was fully deserved at half time in the last game, and i hope he doesnt have to give the same half time talk this time, but it was gold
