OT: Association Football

[Suitman]

No it's 4-1 not to lose; "win or a draw".

Fair enough. Thanks.
I don't gamble.

Mate, Junior Suit is a massive football fan. I discussed this with him this morning.
It could either be a 1-1 or 2-2 draw, or we could get beaten 8-0. Seriously, it is that much of an unknown.
It all depends which mentality the French team turn up with. I'm thinking they'll think we'll be easy beats, which may play into our favour, or may not.
It's a really hard one to pick, but my gut feeling is that I'm scared how ugly it might get. They have an incredible team and we have a pretty poor defence.
The unknown is what Aussie Bert Van Marwyk could have done with our team of strugglers.

Not much help I know with your question. 4/1 for a win? Nope that's crap. It should be more like 20/1.

very good help mate, probably sit this one by the sounds

Though I'm not a huge soccer fan me and a mate went to darling harbour to watch us get belted by Germany in rd 1 at 3am couple of world cups back, we were so pumped up prior the game, darling harbour was packed and buzzing. As the game unfolded the whole place basically went mute

Hope we have learn from that and give the French a huge run

Go Socceroos

I hope Australia wins.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Good start.

 

[TheParraboy]

ive just flicked over to watch this (had to hear Irelands call in the rugby)

5 min in and the commentator is saying already "defensively we have to be much better"

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

France don't look like the cheese-eating surrender monkeys I was led to believe...

I think we need a multi-sport megathread for occasions like tonight.

 

[TheParraboy]

ive created a multi sport poll in pd...

 

[TheParraboy]

that was close, dam it

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I thought that was in, wow

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Yeah, was just thinking one for the live games, where if something happens elsewhere we'd know, and maybe flick fast enough for a replay.

 

[Gronk]

This billion euro french team should try and win without diving.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Strange way to have to change a flat ball.

 

[TheParraboy]

lol that French turd squeeling like a little pig on the ground

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Solid blocks of Aussies in the crowd. You can hear them too.

 

[TheParraboy]

HT 0-0

not bad, we would be wrapped with a draw I reckon

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Take that, France!! You thought we'd be easybeats. On to the next game.

 

[84 Baby]

France aren’t doing their stereotype any favours by falling over and showing their bellies every time we get near one of them

 

[Suitman]

Take that, France!! You thought we'd be easybeats. On to the next game.

Shut up!!

 

[Suitman]

Another half like that and I'll take a draw.
I seriously hope I just haven't done a Parraboy.

I think we need a new TPB since he got rich with some crazy bets. I hope it's not you.
