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

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

I thought that Perth and Adelaide wanted games?

Brisbane long overdue. That would be great.

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

from KA's twitter...

Lock thread. Chile confirmed.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

hope this goes ahead

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.

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

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.

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

lol at this from the above page

You are an ignorant knobhead.

Isn't this some 13 year old kid that thinks he knows everything? shut up kid, you weren't old enough to remember New Zealand trying to block Australia going to Asia.

Internet freaks.

The teenagers of today, the law protects them heaps these days...yet they are the ones that need the biggest kick up the arse.

That's even worse, being beaten by an unknown footballing nation;)

The point is, we would rather watch a worldwide well known football nation that will provide entertainment.
More of a crowd-pleasing game, e.g. in a club sense, MLS supporters waching Manchester United play against MLS teams in America.


Well what a fucking surprise you were called a cunt on a NZ footballing forum. You critisise NZ football an awful lot here, even troll, so I can only imagine the only reason you'd join a forum specially for what NZ football, is to perhaps, critisise even more, and troll?

Stop whinging about it here:roll:

Would definitely be a sell-out. It might just be true as well, because Storm aren't playing in Melbourne that weekend.

[-o< . This will definitely sellout if true.

APPARENTLY it's going to be at AAMI Park on June 4.

Sydney crowds (and Melbourne's superiority aka the inferiority complex all Melbournians suffer) and Wellington's existence are brought up at random throughout this forum.

The key is to find some kind of related factor.

For example, if there could be an article on Liverpool v Manchester United and someone will discover a player on the Man Utd bench once visited Sydney and Wellington on a holiday. Cue segue; "I bet if he had gone to a home game in each city he would've seen how shit Sydney's crowds are and that Wellington should not be in the A-League." Cue the 30 people on these forums who do daily "New Zealand/Wellington" and "Sydney" searches so that they can add their 2c.

um, what exactly does that have to do with this thread?

Old news and thanks for calling me a c..t on YF the other day. You're a hospitable bloke.

As I’ve said elsewhere of late, on-field the Nix have been doing well and letting the off-field stuff go, whether you like it or not, there’s off field stuff there and it has a right to be discussed. But take nothing away from their current on-field form.

Tuvalu!

Who are we playing at home then?
