Australia V Greece


cornerstone

Recommended Posts

Australia 1 - Greece 0 at half-time in front of a crowd of 95,000! :whistling:

Fantastic half-volley from outside the box from Skoko.

Good ol' Gus Hiddink! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

good to hear that Josip Skoko is the scorer...he is half Croatian...and he played as well in Croatia in my fav club...HAJDUK SPLIT...

BTW...you'll never pass the group with Croatia and Brazil... :lol:

Why is there anyone in those teams that can peel off a 60 metre drop punt? :blink: ................ :bleh:

Ah, great result!! Finished just the 1-0, but Greece are still the European Champions so it counts for something.

And a crowd of 95,103 for a 'friendly' is pretty impressive!

Apart from the goalkeepers?! :lol:

Don't worry - AFL wasn't far from the mind! They've had a lot of AFL games on the pitch - so it looked like WWI No Man's Land. Big green circles all over the (teeny weeny) football pitch from the last AFL games.

Surprised you can bring yourself to think about it - aren't Essendon having a 'mare this season?

Yup it's a good result - Australia wanted to win this one, was pretty much a derby match in Melbourne.

Next match is a friendly against Netherlands - may not go quite so well :lol:

Then the real business begins. Gus Hiddink knows what he's doing.... :pray:

well considering Greece did not qualify for World Cup 06, Our win would be considered "expected"? as we did qualify for the World Cup.

Now beating the Netherlands is something different.

In fairness Greece had to qualify from Europe! The Netherlands we have no hope - indeed it's just a friendly so it doesn't matter too much. Losing to Liechtenstein might be a tad embarrassing.

Then bring on Japan - runners up in the prestigious Kirin Cup! ;)

The Netherlands we have no hope

Don`t be to sure about that. The dutch should win but they have a very young and inexperienced team so who knows. and you have Guus and he knows everything about the dutch.

Actually that's a good point, hadn't thought of that. Nevertheless he has said that he isn't too fussed about the friendlies (and, of course, the Dutch are probably even less fussed). Let's call it a draw!

And yes that should have been Guus!
