Just goes to show we need another HAL team and a new stadium. 80,000 at Gillman. I don't believe that will work. I'm in favour of CBD as a rule or the Santos site. Somewhere close to public transport and central with both teams as remnants and even the NRL. Nothing big. Let's say 22 to 25k max.

The players did a job on the coach which they weren't happy with. But elsewhere you said they were professionals. Leicester City players had no problems with him. You could have been champions :lol: If the players did a job on the coach , (which I doubt), then isn't that match fixing? If you're a B...

So the 1-0 result for Australia in game 1?? You really need medication :clown: Jet lagged and Australia were bloody lucky to score in the last seconds. Plus, the Greek Team was in a State of Shock. I don't think they were expecting high intensity. Socceroos tried to play like they were in a World C...

Faroe Islands twice - c'mon, that's like Australia losing twice to Solomon islands. Surely you'd expect some stick!

True.

But let's be realistic about it too.

The players did a job on the coach which they weren't happy with.

If they played today, I think the result would be very different.

That was a great day. I'm not surprised you think that. Everyone (else) wants to beat Australia so badly. It makes them feel so good as you have pointed out. Sometimes, a good measure of humility does Australia some good. I was disappointed when Australians were making fun of Greece when they got b...

I agree with that.

Cyprus has some seriously good talent. It's soccer mad.

I do not believe the Socceroos can beat Cyprus.

Meanwhile there are 32 countries in UEFA ranked higher than the AFC champions.

Are you surprised.

And some imbeciles were predicting a thrashing against Greece!

I am looking forward to the next friendly against The Faroe islands!

That was a great day.

They should have a few Lawyers they can hire.

You got your ass handed to you! I think you have just handed yourself your own a rs e. Really? I wasn't the malarka who started saying the Socceroos will thrash Greece 4 - 0.

Yes it did. The Greek Team bloody did a number on the Socceroos and its good to see the Butthurst! Especially after all the cockiness and ridicule about the Faroe Islands. Look, Greece is a cut above the socceroos, and it's about time you guys understood this reality. You need to pay attention. My ...

WTF are you talking about? You are the one saying how generous and inclusive Greeks are compared to Aussies, not me. I just provided proof of the contrary and to show you how much you are talking out of your Anus. You are the racist one not me. Are you aware what has happened in the Aegean? Over 1 ...

I don't know what's worse. Trying to claim that a friendly is more important than a league match or claiming your own players are guilty of match fixing and should be banned for life. I never said it is more important. But you got your muscat handed to you since the Socceroos played with 100% inten...

Wow what football conspiracy will you uncover next? It's not a conspiracy theory. The players were not happy with their coach and did a job on him. This is what happens in Europe - Spain, Italy, France, Greece you name it. Ban match fixers for life Good luck with that, because it is not something t...

So Greece turned it up and served Australia's muscat on a platter. So then remind us again why this group of players, that you very recently referred to as the 'real deal', was in Australia and not France. They play the top European Nations all the time. The Greek Federation was paid to come becaus...

I'm sure the poms will back me on this: Greece losing to Faroe Is = proper tournament/qualifiers Greece winning v Oz after an initial loss = friendly Which has more impact? Friendlies between whichever two teams, mean absolutely diddly squat. Ever. Except this one actually did, because the Aussies ...

The Greek Players are pros. They are intelligent and technically quite advance and talented. Yep....that's why they're in Australia and not in France.... Because they need to entertain the expats and they got paid. And the Greeks got their entertainment at seeing the socceroos squirm like worthless...

You know, when Greeks throw matches they really do a good job.

But it would appear that the socceroos got their arses handed to them by a team that was defeated by Faroe Islands.
