because the Socceroos play in Adelaide every other monthOldGold wrote:Ange's favourite along with Fanjic.... has Oar been picked too?Brian the Postman wrote:FFS Matt McKay has been picked, the answer to the question not worth asking at International level.
Surely there are any number of players more deserving for this high short wearing exponent of kick and chase.
I think 40k would be a good crowd, not exactly stellar opposition, training night, people going away for long weekend etc etc.

The sales so far are well in excess of the attendance for the Perth WC qualifier.adelaidebloke wrote:tickets sales are pretty strong, looking like a massive crowd...well over 30k tickets sold.
Good to see Ange has issued a statement urging clubs to cancel training on Thursday.Con M wrote:I saw Assistant Coach Ante Milicic today and he said Sydney will have the same problem as Adelaide trying to convince people to forgo their training and come to support our National Team.
On Tuesday night when the National Team is playing Jordan it is a training night for local clubs, juniors & amateurs in Sydney.
I gave a note to Mile Jedinak to hand to Ange Posticoglou, asking him as National Coach to put out a public plea in all media for FFSA Clubs, their juniors & Amateur Clubs to forgo Thursday's training and come out in force to support the Socceroos. I believe Ange has done that. I hope his words don't fall on deaf ears and he has some success.
No he didn't, GIsn'tAE. His plea to everyone to forgo local training will be in the newspaper.God is an Englishman wrote:He put that note straight in the nearest bin

Why not come along and at least support ex-Millwall boys Tim Cahill & Shane Lowry, GIsn'tAE? You always said versatile left-back or centre-back Lowry would be deserving of a place in the Australian line-up.
No surprise your amateur side didn't even check a calendar, or worse, check and purposely schedule a trial game on the night our National Team is playing.God is an Englishman wrote:Con M wrote:No he didn't, GIsn'tAE.

My own side have a game that night, I'll be at that.
Didn't even know Lowry was in the side, not good enough for a league one side but good enough for Australia
I've even had players contact me to make sure we don't cancel training.Con M wrote: No surprise your amateur side didn't even check a calendar, or worse, check and purposely schedule a trial game on the night our National Team is playing.
As for Lowry, look back on your own threads where you rightfully praised Shane as a very good left-sided defender. Plenty of players in the past have been playing for a lowly side yet fitted in like a perfect cog for their National Team. From memory, didn't Mick Channon play for England, yet wasn't at a big club. Will your cynicism never cease?

I do like Lowry but facts are he wasn't considered good enough for a league one side but is considered good enough for Australia.
I don't think channon ever played for England shortly after being told he wasn't good enough for a 3rd tier team.

Has Wembley sold out for every WC qualifier played there?God is an Englishman wrote:God is an Englishman wrote:

No, however Wembley has many games and isn't 700km away from its next big city and hasn't been screaming about getting a game for years.Bomber wrote:Has Wembley sold out for every WC qualifier played there?God is an Englishman wrote:God is an Englishman wrote:

London population nearly 14m and football number one spot as well, so why not sold out ?Bomber wrote:Has Wembley sold out for every WC qualifier played there?God is an Englishman wrote:God is an Englishman wrote:

Your comparing Wembley to Adelaide? Sheffield might have been a better analogy.Bomber wrote:Has Wembley sold out for every WC qualifier played there?God is an Englishman wrote:God is an Englishman wrote: If it's not a sell out then you should give up on the idea of getting another game.
Wembley has about 10 games per year, Adelaide has 1 game in 12 years. That's 120 x more games.ozzie owl wrote:London population nearly 14m and football number one spot as well, so why not sold out ?
can you believe they played it so close to a long weekend, and at adelaide oval, with kids training as well. Plus, it was in competition with the SANFL opening game at the parade as well.Ronnie Biggs wrote:Bloody rain !
