Play Overseas?

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.

The lack of a sweep causes the loss. Farina’s mistake over Zelic proves a disaster.
The
denigration of the Australian game continues in earnest in the media. The claim is that our game is sub-standard.
If
so why can’t Colo Colo beat the team second last in the National League in a
friendly?
News
reports of the game show how friendly this game was with the Chilean giants.
“An ugly brawl has
marred a friendly match between South Melbourne and visiting Chilean side Colo
Colo.
The match had been a physical affair, with several of the Chilean players
involved in off-the-ball incidents and cynical fouls, including an elbow on
South skipper Paul Trimboli which left him with a cut lip.
The match finished a 1-1 draw.”
They
then lose to a struggling bottom half team Marconi 2-0.
The blackout of Australian
football is now complete. No live games
or even footage and the Murdoch Monoploy Morons take control of the
airways. Plus the packielackeys have stopped
the broadcast of the World Cup in their continued use of monopoly purchasing
power to stop football in Australia from being seen.
The
Head of Australian Soccer is an accountant with little knowledge of
football. In an absurd decision Soccer
Australia allow South Melbourne to play the final round by itself with other
teams playing on Sunday, making the final round a dead rubber. This ‘leader’ lost Australia’s game against
Italy! His attempt to gain the glory
failed when Australia was defeated in the World Cup qualifier. This-axe-in-the-back leader has presided on
the downgrading of the game in the Australian psyche- a psyche already caught
in mass racist hysteria.
South
Melbourne form last place makes the final play-offs. Perth gains top spot weeks before the end of competition. An exciting finals series will be played but
no coverage- the monopoly packielackey stables have won the battle to censor
football with their colluding racist government lackeys.
SBS
a former supporter of Australian football has gone into ranting mode to destroy
the credibility of the game and increased the coverage of the tiddleywimps
games. No doubt the government
officialdom is bearing down from the monopoly tower controlled by the MMMs and
their diarrheal buggery.
Corporate Australia is so stingy and anti-football that Soccer Australia cannot even afford to send its best available team to the Oceania Cup for the preliminary matches before the Confederations Cup. Fosters the anti-football lager has displayed its flat-earther mentality. Stars from football are routinely ignored and considered wogs by the media who write about them undeserving of recognition for high achievement e.g. Viduka, Kewell, Aloisi and Emerton. All a bit rich in the land where minor sports rules and tiddleywimps aka Victorian Rules is considered world class! I do believe even Queen Victoria knew the world was round.
Perth marches on with a side that looks
head and shoulders above the rest.
“Perth Glory has reinforced its reputation
as the best team in the NSL with a 4-1 win in the opening leg of the major
semi-final against Newcastle.
The Glory could have had as many as four or five goals by half time as they
dominated in front of the 31,900 strong crowd at Subiaco Oval.”
Will they fail at the last hurdle
again? Remember the Wolves 3-0 up at
half time they still lose at home? Are
they still the nervous Nellies of the competition?
Despite good crowds in all finals
games, the media blackout goes on ignoring the final series with minimal if any
reporting of the games in the MM’s press.
Olympic defeat Perth 1-0. The game was live on TV with advertisements
throughout play making it a disjointed spectacle for those watching it
free-to-air. It was a very ordinary
game where Perth’s attack was nullified by the Sharks after they scored a
brilliant goal.

Next is the World Cup with three
aussie footballer playing for other nations.
The lack of support by Australia’s
corporation who think people who live or have origins from overseas are wogs
has resulted in Australia finding it difficult to field a team in the
Confederations Cup qualifiers.
Chief of Soccer Australia and expert
in axe the back attacks, Knop says
“I don't believe the players union is an issue at
all,
"But at this stage I am hopeful we can play, but in reality we may not be
able to play.
That reality is that SA simply may not have the money to send a team to the
tournament.”
Foster’s
the antifootball lager shows its true form!
The
Confederations Cup Qualifiers begin with a team of unpaid local players because
Soccer Australia hasn’t the funds to send a properly prepared team. Even Samoa can do better than that! Thank you corporate Australia for your
support of football (Oops! I mean wogball).
Amazingly Australia lose a chance to
play in the Confederations Cup.
OFC Nations Cup 2002
All Whites crowned Oceania Champs
Australia 0 - New
Zealand 1
Farina
made a huge mistake again by fielding an unprepared defensive line up against a
prepared Kiwi side. Australia’s best
strikers Tom Pondeljak and
Bobby Despotovski sat
on the sideline watching the Socceroos go behind to the expected defensive blunder
to a NZ set piece. Farina miscalculated
with his usual too little too late tactics. Farina was outwitted in the second
half by a resilient and well prepared All Whites.
“AUCKLAND, July 14 (AFP) - New Zealand's Ryan Nelson scored a 79th
minute goal against Australia here on Sunday to secure the All White's the
Oceania Nations Cup soccer final and a berth in next year's lucrative
Confederations Cup.
After New Zealand had been on the defensive for most of the game, Nelson
swooped on a well-executed free kick from Simon Elliot at the far post and
connected with a perfect strike to send the ball into the net.
The win puts New Zealand into the Confederations Cup next year in France and
sparked immediate uproar in Australia over the Socceroos failure to secure a
place in the rich event.
Acting Soccer Australia (SA) chief executive Greg Bates said the loss against
their trans-Tasman rivals was the result of poor management and bad
administration.
"People here have to accept responsibility about how we got to this
position it's not the team, it's not the IEC (management firm International
Entertainment Corporation), it's ourselves," Bates said.
"Coach Frank Farina was given mission impossible in New Zealand. If the
administration is in disarray you cannot win on the field. You cannot."
Farina was only able to name his team of home-based players a few days before
departure for New Zealand with SA uncertain about even entering the tournament
because of dwindling finances.”
This is what happens when an axe in the back accountant takes to
football. This is the lowest in
Australian football since the Guttendorf debacle.
Farina admits his poor tactics.
“SYDNEY, July 15 (AFP) - Socceroo
coach Frank Farina returned home late Monday from the disastrous Oceania
Nations Cup campaign saying he intends to name his strongest possible side for
Australia's future games.”
But why didn’t he put on
his best team on the day. The V. Bomber
and the Ghoul
are here in Australia and couldn’t be bothered arriving early to help the
Socceroos qualify.
My you, they are here with Leeds playing Colo Colo and even South
Melbourne beat them!
Viva la football!
