cornerstone Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 Australia 1 - Greece 0 at half-time in front of a crowd of 95,000! Fantastic half-volley from outside the box from Skoko. Good ol' Gus Hiddink!

Good ol' Gus Hiddink! 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...
KB Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 BTW...you'll never pass the group with Croatia and Brazil... Why is there anyone in those teams that can peel off a 60 metre drop punt? ................ Ken
cornerstone Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 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!

cornerstone Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 Why is there anyone in those teams that can peel off a 60 metre drop punt? ................ Ken Apart from the goalkeepers?! 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?
cornerstone Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 congratualtions to Australia...and like you said..Greece is still european champions...and the win is great! 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 Then the real business begins. Gus Hiddink knows what he's doing....
KB Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 Oi................shhh.............I didn't realise you would remember my team Ken

jonthebhoy Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 Isn't there a saying.........something about "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts" JTB
Watchmeister Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 What happened to rugby? Soccer just does not come to mind when I think of Australia.
V Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 I think Greece at the moment trying to rise from tha ashes.. Our spirit was the winner on the European Cup BUT our team sucked
marrickvilleboy Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 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.

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!
cornerstone Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 Er - well, actually they came last in the Kirin Cup!

retep Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 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.

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!
cornerstone Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Posted June 5, 2006 Let's call it a draw! lol Netherlands 1 - Australia 1
