Would help your problems Xavier. I mean you have a 'keeper who can keep clean sheets and help your problems up front.

BTW is the friendly between Australia and New Zealand in London tomorrow/today gets much/any coverage for an international match not involving England but is being played in England?

It's on Sky - must admit I hadn't heard about it until this morning.

Sure can't argue with that. Schmiechel's given van der sar a clean bill of health per se so let's see how he goes. Wouldn't mind getting Park either. How does PSV do it?

Australia? Don't you mean South Seas Croatia?

I was actually quite suprised at the way we played - we actually created a few chances

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Well, Liverpool are in the Champions' League next year - at least in the first qualifying round.

Liverpool v F91 Dudelange (say), should be an exciting first game for them!

 

[Craig]

There goes Liverpool's pre-seasons friendlies in Japan and in Austria.

 

[marc71178]

Don't think they'll be too fussed about it!

I see that means the English clubs money for the season in the CL is split 5 ways instead of 4, expect some moaning now from the other sides' fans!

What was the score?

Didn't see a thing on the bbc website.

Didn't see a thing on the bbc website.

It was 1-0 to Oz with about four minutes left. I only know this 'cos I was channel-surfing & happened to turn over about 30 secs before Oz scored. Colosemo (or something like that!!) IIRC.

It will be one from Rabotnicki Skopje (Mac), Dinamo Minsk (Bls), Sliema Wanderers (Mlt), Pyunik Yerevan (Arm), SK Tirana (Alb), Levadia Tallinn (Est), Glentoran (Nir), TNS Llansantffraid (Wal), F91 Dudelange (Lux), HB Torshavn (Far), Kairat Almaty (Kaz) or the Azerbaijani champions (TBC).

 

[Magrat Garlick]

the Azerbaijani champions (TBC).

Either Neftçi Baki or Xazar Lankaran.

Either way, I foresee 6-0 routs!

Now, be fair; Liverpool have improved no end under Rafa! They should at least hold them at Anfield.

 

[Craig]

But still a lack of consistentcy.

 

[shaka]

So liverpool have to qualify for the champions league, at least they have a shot at getting in I guess.

 

[shaka]

How would Australia have felt if NZ had won that match?

 

[roseboy64]

You wouldn't expect them to directly qualify would you.

 

[shaka]

no, they deserved to have the chance to defend it at some level.and that is what they got.

 

[roseboy64]

Ok. It sounded orginally as if you were for direct qualification. Good to see that they didn't take away Everton's spot though.

 

[superkingdave]

When Real Madrid were given a spot despite not qualifying they went straight to the group stage...
