Aussies Qualification - What Now ?

Having said all that, watching Australia under Verbeek is absolute torture TBH.

A good side will tear them to pieces - lets not forget that apart from Japan they havent played any of Asia's other power houses.

WTF would you play Scotty Mac as a lone striker in a dead rubber against what was pretty poor opposition.

Not too sure about that. First half against the Dutch comes to mind.

The rapings of Qatar when Forsatti was our bitch weren't too bad either..... I recall one of them being away from home too.

The way I see it, Pim's already practising for the World Cup now.  He's pretending these teams are someone else.  Last night was a chance to test out the 4-2-3-1 against a fast team (oh, let's say, Spain).  The game against the Uzbeks was a chance to test ourselves against a team of big hard nuts (hmmmmm, Serbia perhaps??).  As Murphs said to me, the game against Japan is a test in itself.

What's the point of peaking _now_, as opposed to June 2010??  Honestly??

Is this 'Buzz' cnut for real???

Question...

Hey Buzz

Sounds like youve really rattled the cage in the zoo today. What do you think about 20 odd million dollars of Australian Tax Payers money being spent on Australias bid to host a World Cup? Seems to me to be a waste of money.

And his reply..........

Gday Dave. Its a terrible, terrible waste of money. The PM and Kate Ellis keep handing out all this money to SOCCER but brush the real football codes that are far more popular. Frank Lowy has obviously got powerful mates in government.

Best packages I have seen so far (for sheer choice) and you arent lining the pockets of the GGa/Fanatics either.

Seriously eyeing off the party bus option. How dangerous is it really?

Wonder if he realises that us hosting the World Cup is actually beneficial for the country
