Do we park the bus from the get go and lose 1-0 or play attacking and lose 5-0?

I'd say bus for 70% of the game and go nuts for 30%. If we don't defend well we will get flogged so unfortunately we have to play cautiously/defensively this game. We have better chances against Peru and Denmark so we can't afford to get walloped by 5-7 goals.

I got a bad feeling about tonight. I'm thinking we are going to get flogged 7-0.
That's probably a bit extreme. 3 or 4 goals, a good chance, maybe even 5 if we're really off but not 7.

I dunno Roo, it's just a feeling. 7 is extreme but it's possible (aka Germany brazil last year).

This tournament only comes around once every 4 years, so stuff it I'll be optimistic at this point. That moment when it looked like we might beat Netherlands was incredible and i hope for the same feeling again tonight. Hooefully i dont have the same feeling i had when ae got pumped by germany in the middle of the night here, freezing my butt off at birrarung marr.
 
I was there when Germany destroyed Australia 4-0 in the first group match of 2010.

What a disaster. It basically made the remaining matches dead rubbers. Ghana knew they could cruise.

For the sake of the supporters who have traveled to Russia for this one, let's hope Bert is smarter than Pim.

I don't know anything about the French team but I watched Australia's qualifying. Did not look good at all.

Anybody remember the return match against Thailand in September last year?

The referee stooged Thailand and we all knew it.

When you need highway robberies to defeat Thailand on your own turf, you are struggling.

When your captain can't get a game in the first match of the finals, things are either very good or very bad.

Oh yeah, I watched that first warmup match as well, a week or two ago.

The opposition were either taking the piss or taking drugs.

Or both.

I have no idea what to expect tonight. Maybe an Ireland -> France multi might make the pain go away.

Then again, what pain? This country has been living off the 2003 Davis Cup for too long.

The Scud was a colossus back in his day but even Delta has moved on to better things since then.

:stern look
