G'day cobbers

Less than 10 hours to go before the kickoff between England and Australia football teams at upton park, London. Use this thread to post predictions, team news , match action, smart arse comments, post match bragging and excuses.

But please lets keep the humour merciless and bigoted at all times :D in the best football tradition.

*smacks Masklinn* [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, let's just say, that this is one teamsport where the Aussies DON'T dominate the Brits. :D

Don't speak to soon, johnny...from what I hear, Sven Goran will be unleashing the Seven Dwarfs after halftime. :D

Hehe sorry [img]smile.gif[/img]

Then...Go Australia go !!!
It will be hard but you can do it !!!

Anyway I will be too busy watching France vs Czech Republic :D
Pires is back ! Finally !

Pires/Zidane, best middle combo ever [img]smile.gif[/img]

<u>GokuZool's prediction</u>

England 2
Australia 1

The Socceroos will score in the 20th minute. Kewell will put in a great cross, Viduka will head it in [img]smile.gif[/img] England will come back just before half-time to even out the scores. Then in the 85th minute or so, England will score the winner.

(If I get this right I will be showered in riches :D )

However, England are going to put on a "younger" side on in the second half, (Rooney etc.) so if the Socceroos score in the first half, they should secure the win! [img]smile.gif[/img] (hopefully ;) )

Is this what they call an each way bet? [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Latest odds on Australia winning are 15-2.

It seems as if England are not going to take this match seriously, they plan on playing up to 7 new players in the second half. for this reason alone I hope beyond hope that Australia win. I hate arrogance [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]
