by the way, is a one-all draw playing Holland in a friendly a good thing?

cheers,

A good thing for what?

All that running around cant be good for the planet, then theres the electrons burnt to broadcast/watch it, and the petrol for the mower to mow the grass.

Better stop them now before the planet goes toes up.

I see what you mean now that I've thought about it some more. If ten players on the field start doubling in number every year, it's really only half the season before they've got enough to start playing AFL.........

Why did you make me watch that? I've only got a slow connection you know and things like that clog up bandwidth I should be using for more important things. Yes, more important things...

So that in future you can make an informed choice.

(Always looking after the underdog, that's me)

So you did it because I'm an uninformed underdog? Well, thanks. I think...

Only a few more days to go. Woohaa.

Actually, they are going to double their number of brain cells every year. In another 100 years, they'll be on an intellectual par with Zed.

Some manner of hijack, Iain? I'll go along with you.....

Well I'm terribly sorry to hear that. The poodle bit, I mean.

I met a bloke on the weekend who calls himself Muffi. Didn't look like a 'Muffi' to me. Looked more like a 'Mad Dog'.

Why anyone would want to engage in any sport that involves a ball, be it kicking, throwing, hitting or cathing it, is beyond me. And watching others do it is even more silly.

Anyway in this case it was just match practice, no one played their best or their critical players and it wasn't the Netherland's best team. So what does it matter.

The only good thing about the World's soccer cup is that there is no scalping of spectator tickets, something we could learn about.


Peter.

Different team and different class. If Schwarzer didn’t make several great saves, the score would have been 4-1 or 5-1 to Holland.

No really took it seriously but a few of Dutch players were injured because of the friendly tackles from the socceroos - absolutely unnecessary.

I also met a bloke who called himself "Wongo". Funny sort of a chap. Everyone was complaining about how cold it was and this fellow was gadding about in shorts.

That's because they are priced way out of the average scalpers' league!

A mate of mine is going to five matches in the finals series (not the grand final) and paid...

$1,800AUD for his seat in one of them. :eek: :eek: :eek:

So far the scalpers prices for the tests are only $600
