    Looks like it's fairly high priced for what you're really getting, but it'd be so much harder to organise it all yourself. Considering this is my first big overseas trip, I'm more than happy to pay a bit extra for accommodation, airport transfers etc. if it means I don't have to deal with it. The biggest worry I have is missing out on tickets really.

    How much you looking to make on it?
     
  4. Harps ZAF MacDonald

    I'm looking at going over. I'm going to guess it's a shit idea to book it all yourself.

    It will be high priced because of the World Cup so it's no surprise there, but yeah the issue will be the tickets to games. Thery're only giving 10% of ticket allocation to each team that is actually playing and the rest is locals

    Daniel Da Silva at 16 seems a decent talent in the U2O World cup.

    Cornthwaite the only selection I really disagree with. Expecting to be completely shown up for pace at the back though.
     
  9. MatthewJay TA Miokovic

    Happy to see Milligan in there.
     
  10. Julian BJ Taylor


    sorry I don't know much of local players these days, is McKay the only left back option?

    I still think we need to trial wilkshire on the left while we have Williams and potentially herd to play on the right.
     
  11. Speirz DG Speirs

    Zullo and Davidson probably the only other two at this stage. McGowan has played there but I'd never want him there. For this match I'm hoping for

    GK Langerak
    RB Wilkshire
    CB Neill
    CB Williams
    LB McKay
    DM Jedinak
    DM Milligan
    RM Kruse
    CAM Rogic
    LM Holman
    ST Cahill
     
  12. Julian BJ Taylor

    I'd like to see Williams play some games at centre half too.
     
  13. Julian BJ Taylor

    I like that xi as long as tommy oar is likely to get 25+ minutes in the second half as well.
     
  14. League Lover L Lover

    Yeah I agree. I love that kid and the more experience Tommy Oar can get the better.
     
  15. Speirz DG Speirs

    I agree, but I'm not sure if Brazil are the side we should be doing that against. I'd prefer to see him miss this game and start against France. For this one I'd want to see someone other than McKay at LB for the last half an hour or so, and I definitely wouldn't want Oar in front of them if that was the plan.
     
  16. Frizzed WC Welker

    We really need Traore.
     
  17. Speirz DG Speirs

    Cahill pretty much ruled out.
     
  18. Speirz DG Speirs

    Wilkshire ruled out as well. This could get ugly.
     
  19. Frizzed WC Welker

    Unfortunate that he's been ruled out but it's good news for Australia.
     
  20. Cevno IV Narang

    Coach got sacked, i read ?
