Great being in the crowd on Saturday. Thought the red flares were quite a spectacle.
Strange seeing firemen waiting in the corner, with riot police in helmets stacked up behnd them.
There was a moment were I thought the game would be called off.
The ref looked pretty cheesed off.
Smeltz almost got hit by a full bottle, just after he turned back.
I stopped counting when the tenth flare hit the pitch.

Still vast majority of Serbs told me they were embarrassed. Laughed at first, then realised they could lose the game by default. Lots of Kiwi/Serb group photos after the match.
Pity it was marred by a 'tanked up' section of the crowd.

You are obviously not Australian-based ATemp (which doesn't surprise me), Verbeek was on Fox Sports last year and said that "Pity that Smeltz can't play for Australia", which to me intimates that he would pick Shane if he was eligible.

You must be watching the games on Sky Sports.

Again, another sign that you are not Australian-based as you make out to be, Christie hasn't performed in the A-League since about season 2 or so, so must Australian viewers would not know how he is playing since he left the A-League.

The dossier has been built on you, keep treating people like crap and we'll sort you out. No doubts, no exceptions.

You're attitude to some across a few places has been second rate. Keep having a go at people...

The booklet for the game stated David Mulligan sign for New Castle Jets?.

Just got back from a short weekend holiday so this is the first time I heard this news, but just wanted to say congratulations to New Zealand. :)

Secondly, maybe I underestimated how good New Zealand actually are. Sure, it was a friendly and a practice match, but you gotta give credit where it's due. New Zealanders should be extremely proud of this performance and surely more performances like this will give justification to calls for an annual Australia v New Zealand match.

I don't know what this says about Serbia. Pretenders? Overrated? Time will tell. But it's certainly embarrassing for them. Not to mention a severe moral destroyer. I've heard so much about this team from Serbian supporters and negative socceroo supporters such as SydneyCroatia, but it looks like their 'world class' team with the decorated Vidic have fallen flat on their faces.

I still maintain Serbia is Australia's biggest danger game though, despite this performance.

ATemp is such a "put-on", Hed be the type of girl to fake a Orgasm.

hmmm, and :lol: but point taken. ATemp is not that user's real/preferred name anyway. They go by another name, and are actively involved in the co-ordination of a club A-League forum if the 'dossier' is to be believed.

@ socceroossupporter
to write "it looks like their 'world class' team with the decorated Vidic have fallen flat on their faces" is a big call considering it was only a friendly. I think we will be okay, time will tell.

Hey Piksi_10
After that pathetic performance against NZ you will need all the help and time you can get dude. Serbia=extremely arroagant and over rated team dude!!

@ skinet

Did you watch the game? I did. We clearly were not putting in 100%. It was a run-out for the squad, nothing more.

Can you provide some facts around your arrogant comment? What have we done to get that tag? None of the players or the coach has said any arrogant at this point in time.

So close, yet so far DS.

You keep firing and you keep missing. My memories of Christie have more to do with Perth Glory than anything across the Tasman as he barely ever played for the Phoenix.

Hey Piksi
there is nothing more arogant than to treat an obviouys loss as merely a training run, At least one of your players has claimed they will destroy all opposition in the WC, An outrageous claim. Remember Coratia 2006 and Yugoslavia 1998 both dummy spitters and ultimately chokers.

Skinet, to say a team used a friendly as a run-out is not an arrogant statement. None of the player or the coach said anything negative about NZ after the game. How can that be considered arrogant?
The player in question who you claim said they will destroy all opposition was Zigic, he infact did not say that. He said the mentality of the team was when they go on the field for the WC, there aim is to destroy the competition. That is not arrogant, rather a postive mind set that I would assume all teams would like to project!
All teams (barring both Brazil and Germany) have had flops in major tournaments, it is a fact of life. Do you remember Australia in 2002? 1998? 1994? 1990? No? well neither do I....

Good win for the Kiwis. Hopefully Australia can do the same against Serbia next month.

Wow, Fucking awesome. Bodes well for both my teams at the cup. Come on ANZ
