was thinking about this the other day... would FFA step down from trying to pack out Docklands and go for what AAMI Park brings to the atmosphere and viewing from a spectator's perspective

yea same Chile are fantastic they play attacking football have a young quick team this game should go too Melbourne. Until NSW starts supporting there A-league sides no Socceroos matches should go there i reckon Adelaide would get a better turn out then Sydney did against Para.

i actually think Eithad is fine as long as the push the seats forward it also allows for an extra 15K seats to be sold.

In the end of the day Melbourne makes money why limit that? you know what i'm saying but AMII park is a much better stadium

If it is in Melbourne it'll be at AAMI Park. On the weekend it's apparently set for Melbourne Storm aren't playing in Melbourne, and there will most definitely be footy on at Etihad.

AAMI Park, even though it would fit around 10k less (if seats were to be pushed in at ES), would be the most logical option.

hope this goes ahead

Isn't the Copa America on around this time. Doubt they would fly over and then fly back again just before the tournament

Thought the same Neil. But Copa America starts late June iirc so this game would be at least three weeks before the tournament.

FIFA dates;

9 Feb (friendly date)
29 March - Germany v Australia (not a FIFA date)
3-7 June
10 August (Friendly date)
2-6 September
7-11 October
11-15 November

Socceroos 2011, according to Fox Sports the other night

march 2011, Germany (includes 4 day training camp for juniors)
June 2011 Chile (??) and another team "from 2010 World Cup" here in Australia
September 2011 onwards, Asian WC qualifiers Round 3.

June 3 sees the Rebals S15 team play at AAMI Park, Etihad only has an AFL game on the Sunday 5 June. You're not going to get the stands moved in with an AFL game the next day.

No Bielsa at Chile anymore, means this game will be a litmus test for the new manager?

May well be Sydney then. Hopefully the FFA actually advertise the match this time.

Lock thread. Chile confirmed.

Chats. Chile v Aus game looks like it will be played in Brisbane...Serbia game in the works.

from KA's twitter...

Brisbane long overdue. That would be great.

I thought that Perth and Adelaide wanted games?

Neither governments are fond of football. No support, no suitable stadiums = no games.

That said, I would like to see a WCQ at Hindmarsh.
