So lets hope the greek fans dont bring the macedonian flag in the wrong colours consisting of blue and yellow.

That's ok we are bringing them anyway Byzantine double headed eagle flag, Macedonian Star of Vergina, Cyrpriot... and in their correct colours please dont confuse it with your Ronald McDonald Japanese? flag.

Any thoughts on how the game will end up?

My thoughts, two possibilities;
Australia has qualified for the World Cup and Greece has not, but they did win last years European Cup. If Australia loses the coach & players could become the laughing stock of the world media; a world cup qualifier loses to a non-qualifier.

The coach, Guus, uses the game as a diversionary tactic, the Australian team draws or loses to Greece. The aim of this would be to confuse our first team we come up against in the World Cup, they’d be unable to decide which way our team would be set up and play.

I reckon Australia will win 1 – 0

There is a Poll in the Bar if you wish to vote; Who will win on Thursday night?

There's nothing confusing about our national colours we didn't find our flag in a happy meal. Are the playing the national anthems on the night of the match? The Greek national anthem is the longest one in the world, they might have to play the Turk version instead so we can at least start the game on time.

Double headed eagle flag = Albanian
Macedonian * = the emblem of a Royal Macedonian dynasty, also featured on Republic of Macedonia flag.
Cypriot = Turkish 0.5 Greek 0.5
Yeeros = Kebab
Halloumi = Hellim
etc....

support the socceroos!!!!

CongoAU2 · 24-05-2006, 05:49 PM

As Much as i Hope Australia win i think it will probably be a draw prob 1-1. Hopefully Australia will do well in the world cup also.

Guus Hiddink the Master Coach Aussies for me & hopefully all the Aussies play well & id love the see Mark Viduka have a blinder. Once Harry Kewell, Tim Cahill & John Aloisi are back on the pitch look out.

For the record i picked the Aussies 2 nil

so who going out to the pub tonight to celebrate the wins lol i think it will be a fair bit once we hit the world cup

MethodX · 25-05-2006, 10:35 PM

They are the Euro Champions.

They won that playing a heavily defensive style, and hit em on the break, circa italy in the 60's and 70's

Brazil, Croatia and Japan are MUCH better than Greece. It will take a miracle for Australia to pass the first stage.

Bucknaked · 25-05-2006, 10:38 PM

Tommorrow they will play it down with Australias win. We can't help qualifying for the world cup. We can send Greece postcards from Germany

defenese is a great way to win a game believe me i know im sort of couching a team that is made up of friends at indoor soccer.

It great to see Aussie in the World Cup and see how they go with the big boys

pennybrain · 25-05-2006, 10:54 PM

Go the Aussies! Record crowd at the MCG too. Well done Melbourne!

Now lets see if Australia goes on to win the world cup......Imagine the party everywhere in Australia if that happened!!!

Kenster · 25-05-2006, 10:57 PM

We will have to see when the world cup started and that isnt far away since this is a friendly meaning its practise wait for the real match

Full Spectrum · 25-05-2006, 10:57 PM

Record crowd since the new upgrade

Nowhere near the real record.

Regardless of their backgrounds, all of the players last night were wearing the green and gold with pride and will represent Australia on the world's biggest sporting stage next month. Unfortunately people like him are too prejudiced to see that.

Yes they are much better regardless of the scoreboard OUR boys will do us proud and the opposition will know they had to work hard to win.
To have our team in the biggest comp in the world will do me !
None of our other ball codes have anything like it.

Importantly it was a good hit out for our guys but they will have to pick up the pace against the country's above.
Win lose or draw it will be a pleasure to watch with billions of other Real Football followers !!!!!!
