you know what s me, reading one of the opinion pieces in todays Herald Sun-

MEANING PEOPLE WITH GREEK BACKGROUNDS SHOULDNT BE SUPPORTING GREECE.
I think many Greeks were supporting Oz as well, obviously, however why the shouldnt they support the Greeks.
ITS IGNORANT ILL-MINDED, UNEDUCATED FUKFACES LIKE THAT, THAT MAKE ME WANNA GO OUT AND REALLY BUY A SHOTGUN!
HELLO, ITS NOT THAT THE PARENTS ARE 'RAMMING' IT DOWN THEIR CHILDRENS THROAT, ITS WHO THEY ARE. ITS A PART OF THEIR IDENTITY, KNOWING ONES HISTORY & CULTURE SHAPES A PERSONS IDENTITY.
HOW ING PATHETIC.
OH SO IF WE TOOK EVERYONES CULTURE AWAY FROM THEM, WHAT WOULD YOU BE LEFT WITH?
MUTHAFUKER.

what people dont seem to understand, is that its not just about ethnicity or culture. many of the greek aussies would have been followers of greek soccer for ages, coz, as an international side, australia has done fvck all and for all intents and purposes they havent had an international squad in our life time. only the second qualification in 30 odd years for the world cup- now, who is going to \"give up\" the team theyve been following half their life just coz australia gets onto the world stage for once?
i wish the roos all the best, but damned if im gonna support them over a team that ive been following since i was in highschool. especially not for a side that might not play again for another 30 years (or in euro ever). come world cup soccer time, my colours are strictly red & white ;) |

hey MissyM, I hear popping valium allows you to turn caps lock off and chill the out.
people are fogetting greece came here on holiday and all of the greek players have high paying contracts with large european clubs so an injury to them would put their career with their high paying clubs on hold...i think the ignorance of the new found aussie supporters is pretty tragic...albeit, its good to see the sport making a move here as well...a friendly is a friendly and i think both sides were pretty weak as the game progressed...no one wants an injury!
Off to Germany they go with a bang! Hopefully this spells the beginning of AFL's decline and soccers gained popularity in Australia.
It's not like an AFL side can compete at any world event?! |

| Greece played like crud, not because australia didnt let them play, but because they showed a lack of intensity and lack of commitment, after all, its a friendly, greece had nothing to gain from it, in saying that though, the aussies really impressed me, the way they created space for one another and knocked the ball around was impeccable. |

oh no here we go. :rolleyes: why would you want to wish decline upon a sport that has been entrenched in australian culture for 150 years? can't both sports co-exist and flourish together?
yeh the game looked pretty pedestrian at times but of course i know nothing about soccer. |

couldnt agree more.
the g was absolutely pumping. awesome atmosphere and everyone was really into it. the greeks were pretty sloppy to say the least. they didnt create space and often went forward in small numbers.
the aussies on the other hand moved the ball quiet well and created much more opportunities. things are looking bright
i didnt know who to go for. the aussies scored early which made me back greece a bit more just so they'd make a game of it. didnt happen.
oh and soups how about u get a clue and watch a few games rather then studying the fifa squads.
big thnx to paulie for some afterparty heroics and driving home drunk. a sore head makes for a lazy day at work i tihnk..:whip: |
