I was wondering how long this would take. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif Can you answer me something? Of the eleven players of the French first team that beat South Korea 5-0 the other day how many started today's game? I'll give you a clue - it was slightly less than one http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Good news about Frank the Beef getting sent off though http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

I expected the original post, the game was shown live here although I wasn't able to watch. Okay, I apologize - it was a good result. I was just getting my retaliation in first just in case the Lions' tour and the Ashes don't go as planned. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

By way the British Lions arrive in Oz today. First match is against Western Australia in Perth on Friday. There are 12,000 supporters travelling from GB & Ireland to watch the test matches.

Cricket is a beautiful game caleb http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif The first part of the post is about football, the second is about Rugby Union.

Hey Donut,

I'm sure the Ashes and the Lions tour will go to plan - the Wallabies and Steve Wuagh plans that is http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif. You're right about one thing though, that is one heck of a good result for us against France. It rates right up with our victory a few years ago against Brazil in the Confed Cup in Saudi Arabia (although they trounced the **** out of us in the final http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif ).

Not that the Socceroos are consistant or anything though, we all remember a certain World Cup qualifier lost to a certain Arab state a few years back *cough cough*, at best it's flashs of glory, though there's no doubt well crush the poms in the ashes. *prepares to delete last line is nessesary*

Oh they will, don't worry about that my friend. You did mean "expected" instead of "planned" though didn't you? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Still, no matter if it was a French 1st 11 or a French 2nd 11, Australia has beaten France and it is recorded for posterity thus.

If they didn't send their best team it's their own fault http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Yes, France are both World and European Champions, but Soccer is the fourth most popular football code in Australia. When it is number 1 I'm sure WE SHALL BE WORLD CHAMPIONS YAY!! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

That would be fourth behind (in no particular order) Rugby Union, Rugby League and Aussie Rules would it?

That is is you count Aussie Rules as some kind of football at all. As far as I can see, it is the mutant offspring of a menage a trois between scoccer, rugby and basketball. Its primary tactic seems to be to scare the sh*t out of the opposition by jumping at their heads. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/Eyecrazy.gif

I am convinced that if you took away the ball from most Aussie Rules games, the players would just get on with the real purpose and have a damn good blue anyway http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif
