Whilst you have uneven games (ie no home and away), there will always be conflict about who plays who & Anzac Day is a sell-out every year, why would they want to change that? But seriously, think about it - 3 GF's? Insane Since Anzac Day is a sell out, why not change the teams then? Collingwoo...

This season (18/19) you'll be able to watch an Australian keeper that played in the Dutch top league last season.

Do you think he might be Conference standard?

Of the 6 other 19 year olds in WC squads, it's selective to pick the Frenchman.

How would you compare Arzani to the Englishman, the Senegalese, the Moroccan, the Nigerian or the Panamanian?

Re: Australia v Peru

Well Grosso since 1993 was the last time australia played argentina in a non-friendly getting results of 1-1 & 0-1 are probably pretty good.

We did win the Bicentennial Gold Cup clash 4-1 in 1988.

Question: why did you move away from Uruguay when talking about football? Or Peru?

36 in world football is reasonable, 18th in rugby and you're pretty cabernet. Exactly. Eg a team ranked say 9th or 10th (like a Scotland or Tonga) would wipe the floor with Uruguay in Rugby - 50 plus points would be a predictable margin. The USA beat Uruguay 61-19 in their last match.
