Turkey will probably flog us... they are at full strength and we have heaps of players out...

Kewell - cos he's a big baby who claims that whenever he flies he hurst his ankle.
Viduka - injured.. doesn't really matter cos he never scores for australia anyway
Tim Cahill - FA cup final
Tony Popovic - Play off final with Palace
Lucas Neill - Injured
Muskat - injured (don't care anyway he's tripe, and a phsyco)
John Aloisi - injured
Craige Moore - injured... probably the biggest loss.. such a solid defender

We still have a decent line up but i think a win will be very hard..

Bosnich hasn't played in years... i'm not sure if he's banned or what... Schwatzer is first choice keeper and he's actually the captain of the match tonight because Moore is injured..
Kalatz is our second choice keeper... plays in Italy for Perugia or Reginna i'm not sure...

Not as much as we used to, Italian football used to be on channel 4 every Sunday over here but it's only on Eurosport now and not everyone has got sky tv. I still look out for the results though, i'm a big Juventus fan :D

Yeah i like Juve too... didn't have a good year this year tho...

the thing i don't like about the italian league is how it's so corrupt.. clubs like Inter, AC Milan, Roma, and Lazio, should not be as strong as they are, they spend and spend and go broke and keep spending

No it wasn't the best of seasons for Juve!

A lot of clubs in Italy are corrupt and run very badly, most of them are in real bad debt, i don't really know a lot about it but I think it was Parma who have had to sell most of their players to stop them going bust!

Yeah it's a shame about Parma, who i quite like (Bresciano is a gun).. but at least they're doing the honest thing... Juve are the only Italian club that ever makes a profit.. it's ridiculous...
and isn't it funny how AC Milan suddenly get out of debt from money invested by their president who also happens to be the president of the Italian league.... :roll:

Yeah it's not right that they always get bailed out by him while other clubs nearly go out of business, the same thing has happened in Spain with Madrid and Barcelona.

I could never want Turkey to win, there's a big history between England and the dirty Turks!

Now who would I want to win if Germany and Turkey were playing... :shock:

bah.. we lost 3-1

i didn't actually see the game but apparently it's the worst we've played since the away leg against Uraguay in 2001...

still it was a full strength turkey side against a very undermanned australian side.. so it was always going to happen...
