Socceroos and Australian Football

[Johnners]

Would be better if the games were on FTA imo

 

[Simon]

Yeh obviously, although I have fox and I watch a few matches, when I didn't have it for a while it sucked not being able to watch even the odd game.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah not having Fox sucks. Watching highlights on The World Game at uni doesn't cut it.

 

[Johnners]

Go see a game imo (y)

Can't wait till the Gold Coast team joins, might actually get to go and see the Roar play well (away from home etc.)

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah because they play so many games here and I totally have a good travelling budget.

 

[Johnners]

Didn't say you had to do it tomorrow, ****.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Let's biff, George Bush style.

Worst Argument. Not gonna travel three hours to Sydney to watch teams I don't even follow play. How bout give Canberra a team and then I'll be there.

 

[Johnners]

Haha, I wasn't arguing about anything. Just suggesting that it's worth going to see a game if you can.

 

[Johnners]

Let's biff, George Bush style.

Prefer to rap, George Bush style.

Pim tells Carle to quit Palace

Think he makes a fair point tbh.

Nah, disagree. Carle will learn more about himself as a player & a bloke playing in The Championship (FFS I'd only just got used to calling it Div 1) than he would in one of those milksop continental leagues. Cahill's competitive instinct was honed after having seven shades of ****e kicked out of him when he played for Millwall.

I dare say Carle got just as much, if not more, **** kicked out of him in the A-League though than in the Championship. I can see why Carney went to England, but not Carle, realistically I thought he should've gone somewhere to improve his skills, but apparently he had family issues in Turkey.

Fair enough, I don't watch enough of the A-League to compare it, really. Aussie players over here generally play a "British" get-stuck-in sort of game (with Kewell the obvious exception) tho so can imagine it's quite robust at times.

Is he an EU-passport holder, btw? I doubt he's played 75% of Australia's games over the last two years so I don't think he'd qualify for a work permit for the UK.

Yeah, it's probably even more physical than the British leagues, although it's slowly changing. The problem here tends to be more with the coaching and the refereeing though, rather than it simply being the style the players seem to be best suited to.

I think he's got some sort of Chilean decent actually. Not sure how he actually managed to get a permit.

Oi.

Some of us appreciate that damaging three muscles in an opponent's leg is not necessarily the main goal of a footballers' daily work.

 

[Matteh]

Trond Olsen any good? Latest update of CM0102 is claiming he is.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Adelaide! One foot in the final, crazy stuff.

 

[chaminda_00]

Adelaide the Liverpool of the A-League. Got nothing in the league, but look like millionaires in the Champions League.

Amazing how their average South Americans look so good in Asia, with the slower tempo.

 

[Johnners]

Good to see the U-19s scored a win in their mini-tournment last week.

Hoping for a good game tonight, It will be the first time since the friendly against Argentina I've seen a full Soccerros match (going with a mate to the Sportsmans Club to watch it).
