Didn't know anything about the young lad, but as a father of a 21 y/o son, I deeply feel for his family. R.I.P

Up 3 nil at half time in a friendly against Equador and get done 4-3. Pathetic.

very harsh G-Man. Most of the Socceroos were up watching the cricket and were subsequently pumped in the first 1/2 but fatigue grabbed them by the shorts in the second. To be fair also, most of the Equadorian team were built as if they'd spent a season with Stephen Dank. Equador are around 24th in the world, so I'd say we'd surpassed expectation. Could've been 4-0 at the half if Timmy had made the first header.

Less than 100 days to go.

Yeh is harsh mate but to give up 4 goals in a half is very ordinary. Not happy Jan.

My rankings and previews. Also want to do some player rankings.

Andrew3747 · May 02, 2014, 05:46:22 AM

Just going to do my top 5.

5. Urguary
4. Argentina
3. Brazil
2. Spain
1. Germany

Suarez is god, Messi is god on a vacation, Brazil actually have a really balanced side for once, spain is spain and Germany now have the most depth and high level talent in the world.

Brazil No1 again, what planet you been living on? ??? Oh right :P

Andrew3747 · May 03, 2014, 05:43:30 AM

Brazil have a sick chance to win, but they haven't played against top quality opponents in a while.
