Australia to win.

We have a table booked at Arrivederci Pizza, so should be awesome

does the match start at 7 or is there any pre-match stuff?

prematch 7, kickoff 730

whats it being televised on?


and dimo, the one on park road? come down the street and say hi if you are there :p

where are you gonna be Tung?

either at my house (50 metres away from arriverdeci, down gordon st) or may head to la dolce vita or rue da paris to watch it on their screens.

so you expect him to go to three different places to find you... who do you think you are.. black?

i do.

ISWYDT

yer, ill watch this (normally dont bother with soccer due to the boredom)

pretty farken pissed off that the greek team flies into AUSTRALIA and gets thousands of wogs cheering for them

the aussies had way less

im hoping its rectified at the ground and that we smash greece on the pitch

Aussies to win by 1 goal.

200 hairy wogs to go on a vandalism spree

200? there will be more greek supporters then aus supporters.

its gonna be a pretty friendly game

the greeks in melbourne will be happy if aus win cos then we are good form for the world cup

Decent start by the aussies.

Is this soccer?

eek I broke it - fixed now

Yes, aussies are a goal up and done in style.

maybe the greeks need to practice kicking or something

Yeah their passes were a bit shoddy in the first half.

hope the greeks win to avoid riots

you do realise melbourne is the largest greek community outside of athens?

also what a fkn goal to josip skoko (or how ever the f*** it's spelt).

who won

Anyone do it Greek style here?

Australia, by 1 goal.

TOLD YA NOW PAY UP KUNTZ

lol greece area joke

Now let's see how we measure up against the dutch.

Good on Oz for winning and ripper of a goal!

That said I've lost a lot of respect for soccer over the years, yeah theres a lot of skill invloved and I actually played it for 7 years of my youth... however...

It's such a divefest these days :/ Oh no your foot brushed my leg *dramatic dive to headbutting the ground* Makes them all look like a bunch of pansies.

One Greek guy in particular would do something and appeal for penalties almost everytime the ball came near him. He missed a shot on goal turns around and starts yelling s*** at the ref... noone was anywhere near him, he just f***ed it up... fkn crybabies >:|

So much f*****ry stopping makes me mad, would make for such a better game if they introduced a video ref that could make decsions on dives and reverse penalties IMO.

you been watching the premier / champions league for the last 10 years buddy?


at least the aussies get straight back up if they go down, unlike f***** poms who do 10 army rolls and change their injury from a broken neck to a sprained wrist to a spoon in the f***ing eye

The worst one was rivaldo in the last world cup playing against turkey. A turk kicked the ball at him from a distance and hit him in the leg but rivaldo ends up collapsing holding his stomach.

The Netherlands is ranked number 3 in the world, so should be an interesting game.

ok, bring on the world cup now

Of couse :P It doesn't matter where its played, there are players out there that try to milk penalties with spastic dives. However yeah premier league is where its worst.

It just saddens me how much it has just been accepted as part of the game. Its one of the reasons I started losing interest and eventually stopped playing, cause as I moved on towards an adult league you see it happen more and more.

I loved playing back in my early teens where if you did fall it was for a genuine reason and even then if you were hurting you'd be back up on your feet running/limping towards the ball to play on!

Yeah ahha i remmeber that one, how funny would it be if the rules in soccer allowed a sniper to take these pansies out, would make the game so much more inteteresting

Greece were absolutely shocking last night. They put a lot of effort into theatricality and not much into the actual game.

Australia should have won by much more, but seemed like the forwards were all half asleep and didn't want to shoot unless inside the box!

I also think that Australia didn't gel that well. A couple of plays on the wings were great, but the game through defense and mid was a little rusty.

All in all it looked like a pretty poor quality match from both sides. Nothing like what is needed to prepare for the world cup finals. Hopefully the Dutch game will be better.

at least the aussies get straight back up if they go down

No they dont, I used to think that too. They do drama too.

^i didnt see one


in like the 80th-90th bit, one of the aussie mid fielders stopped the ball right on the line, even went out i think btu thats beside the point

some f***ing retard greek came in studds up, it wasnt a huge chop, but still got him alright, he fell over pretty bad (horizontal in the air) ate s*** got back up

can u imagine if that was a pom ?

They need a rule that if an appeal is deemed unsubstantiated that the person is allowed to dish out pain equal to the drama displayed.

any1 see ten news? i rang the tv networks earlier in the day to come to la dolce and get shots of crazy fans, and yep they all turned up.

they got me on camera making green and gold coffees!
