For
the packielackeys-
don’t
worry, be happy, real football goes on! . Eventually the
packielackeys arrive in England and no one’s home!
After a
lot of grandstanding by clubs in Europe over the release of players the World
Cup holders France’s squad for the ‘friendly’ in Melbourne before the
Socceroo’s crunch games is:
Fabien
Barthez (Manchester United), Gregory Coupet (Lyon), Ulrich Rame (Bordeaux)
Vincent Candela (Roma), Philippe Christanval (Barcelona), Marcel Desailly
(Chelsea), Frank Leboeuf (Marseille), Mikael Silvestre (Manchester United),
Lilian Thuram (Juventus)
Eric Carriere (Lyon), Christian Karembeu (Olympiakos), Claude Makelele (Real
Madrid), Emmanuel Petit (Chelsea), Robert Pires (Arsenal), Patrick Vieira
(Arsenal), Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid)
Christophe Dugarry (Bordeaux), Thierry Henry (Arsenal), David Trezeguet
(Juventus Turin), Sylvain Wiltord (Arsenal)
The
French fly in travelling
in a specially fitted Boeing 747 which includes massage tables and areas where
the players could walk and move about freely.
Blissful ignorance from the Flat-Earthers as the world best sporting
players enter Melbourne.
Meanwhile
in the South
American qualifiers Brazil could still be our opponent! Next week the Socceroos will know their
opponents.

A brief scan of the Telemoron and Ausmoron
(owned by the King of Packielackey himself mongrol Murdoch ‘The Mut’) deeply
buried the game between Australia and the World Cup holders France in their
back pages on the Friday before kick-off!
These monopoly media morons are brain-dead
packielackeys who are unable recognise a decent game when they see one. After all, it is only wogball and real men
throw wogs and their children overboard into the sea. Can’t have wogball followers polluting the centre of the Universe.
As the packielackey PM says:
"They know that we will rescue them and ... I think that word has got
around and some of the people smugglers are now saying 'Well, the only way to
stop this is that as soon as you get inside Australian territory you make sure
the vessel is disabled so it can't be turned around and sent back'."
Or what has become
his great election slogan
Vote 1 for
Howard”
Where was he at the
Olympic Football Final?
Not at the
game! Managed to the other sports-all
except football- Cameroonians are black and the Spanish they eat olives!
After all the
stadiums where football was played was full of immigrants.
Of course in the
land of the flat earthers- where the recessive mutants of Melboring know no
sport -where the media mongrol murdoch mogul muck - where world class is where
there ain’t no wogs ! A guaranteed win
every game. Where Southern Lights are
found in the sky and mutanat synapses fail to flicker!
As the
philosopher, “The Great Wolf” an avid Wolves fan once said “There is an inverse
relationship between the number of people who go to the football and the
crassness of a place.”
Melboring can’t
even fill a stadium (only 53000) when the World Cup winners France arrive to
challenge a full strength Socceroos!
But then, the goobers of Melboring think tiddleywimps is a sport. It seems the ozone hole is contagious and
their brains leak! This possibly
explains the green film over the Bay-if half-wits can leak brains!
In typical downpouring
weather in Melboring, the Socceroos lead France at half-time with a wonderfully
executed header by Craig Moore scored from a Stan the Man corner, a Vidmar
flick-on and Moorish head into the net, 1-0.
The game ends 1-1 with a typical idiotic referee too fearful to give a
clear penalty to Australia for a push into the back of Aloisi in the last
minute of the game.
The Ausmoron as usual completely
ignored the France game and buried a brief report in their pages even though
the main sport report about was a cricket games against NZ which had a crowd of
less than 3000! This typifies the runny
MMMMs.
The Pires golley into Muscat’s face
that sparked the melee in the game sets up Australia’s next encounter with
France as a real grudge match. The poor
French have met their match!
"In a deeply
regrettable incident, Robert Pires spat in my face during the first half of the
game," Muscat said in a statement.
"This isn't the first time he has done this in a match against Australia,
and I wouldn't let it happen to me on the street, let alone during a
match," the Wolverhampton Wanderers defender added.
Farina added,
"He (Pires) should understand he has a responsibility as a champion of the
world.”
Before leaving,
French coach Roger Lemerre criticised Muscat's "brutal" approach.
And Golly, golly,golly it’s Lemerre
folly!
"Football is not a game of skittles," said Lemerre. "I'm deeply
unhappy about that tackle."
The replay clearly shows Dugaree’s
awkward fall caused the injury not the Muscat tackle.
