Quite right, Germany see Holland as its main rival. It still doesn't alter the fact that England couldn't give a shiraz about playing Australia.

Why would Germany see a region as a rival?

How would you even know about it if you didn't care about Australia's national team and therefore visited their forum?

For example, the only times I went into woman's football forum was to seek a secretary for Friday lunches and to post about Croydon wanting to field a woman's team next season on behalf of someone else at the club.

Otherwise I don't dare bother and couldn't tell you about any other threads there.

Does it hurt that we don't care about you?

I guess you seem to so rarely beat us these days that I can understand you getting excited when it happens.

I would also reply to someone from American Samoa if they had such a big chip on their shoulder and were posting as well.

Vardy looks set to be the first to say he can't be bothered playing against Australia. Apparently he'd rather go to a wedding.

Talksport were just saying it's good to have a couple of tough warm-up games against Turkey and Portugal. No mention of Australia. I guess they're not bothered either

I was listening to an interview with Craig Moore and he was saying prior to the game against England the Socceroos hadn't played a game in more than a year, my how times have changed since the change in people running the game in this country.

Scared that's all. Getting married may well be a regret later in life instead of playing, we shall see. :wink:

Gotta ask, if his wedding was planned, why was he even selected in the squad?

Because he will play in the bigger games against Turkey and Portugal. His wedding was brought forwards apparently as originally it clashed with the Euro's.

In the paper it said he was meant to get hitched last year, but got called up to national team, so had to postpone it so Roy said he couldn't possibly stuff him up a second time. More or less same thing really, but I'm guessing as to Bacon's question that the squad was announced for the 3 games.
