We should win it - kiwis team is weaker than previous years, especially in the halves.

Still, they've pulled our pants down in a final before, and we only beat them by 6 or 8 last game. Johnson has to be on song.

Let's hope GI continues his amazing form - must be finally injury free!

 

[Cold Roses]

Foran, Whare and Tuivasa-Sheck. Those guys absence make a massive difference. Biggest call is still on Kidwell. So far hasn't shown that he has the tactical nous to give the players a game plan which can rattle Australia.

Be interesting to see whether he has the balls to give Fusitua a run in place of Nightingale who is horribly out of form.

 

[Maroon4life]

Who cares.

Just no one from my team get injured.

You had that much concern to post in the Thread and complain, classy.

Hope Val has a good game

 

[ed-grimley]

I'm glad it's at Anfield - you wouldn't want this rubbish at Old Trafford.

Too late - Sam had already done his back carrying food back from the buffet.

And Mannering - someone who has no nonsense defense around the edges.

 

[Hawkins]

How weird does David Klemmer look with hair.

I think the hair will win.

Interest for this game here is overwhelming.

Interest for this game here is overwhelming.

The kick off time has really captured the imagination of the public.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Yeah 1:30am on a Monday morning AEDT doesn’t do much for ratings, especially when the finalists are both in the Southern Hemisphere. There’s been games that kicked off at 7am on a Sunday morning, not sure why they didn’t go for that.

 

[Timmah]

My best guess is with the size of the pitch at Anfield (91m between goallines to allow for adequate in-goals), they didn't want to risk a night time game on a dewy surface.

It sucks for TV that it's the two southern hemisphere teams but that's always a chance.

 

[macnaz]

They could have had the same timeslot just a day earlier..
The whole thing has been a joke anyway , so why not finnish the same way.

 

[flamin]

Liverpool is going to have a high of 6 degrees - the crowd will be glad it's during the day and not a night game.

 

[blaza88z]

that has to be the worst rendition of the nz anthem ever done
