Australia v Germany 4pm (19th June) ITV4 - Confederations Cup

[ExmouthExile]

Suddenly the Confederations Cup becomes interesting. First chance to see our new keeper in action, and against the world champions. Please don't get injured Maty!

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

With our defenders and that system, he'll be exposed badly.

Could rain goals.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

He was dropped for the last match right?

More a rotation than a dropping.

First choice for the match that counted, bench for the friendly.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Wouldn't happen in Germany

Thanks for the heads up

Hopefully he won't put his back out bending down to pick the ball out of the net. Would expect him to be kept very busy in that match.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Woohoo for the Socceroos!!!!

I think I'll have shrimp on the barbie.

Maybe he'll play much like Tim Howard did for the Americans in the WC. Sometimes having a poor defence can make a keeper look very well.

Wouldn't happen in Germany

Yeah it did, 2005.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Yeah it did, 2005.

Fair cop

Looking forward to this.

Decent game between Portugal and Mexico at the moment - and a few of the Mexicans would do a decent job in the Premiership.

Didn't realise Mexico was a rugby nation.

Germany not sending a very strong squad ,Julian Draxler is the most capped player on 30.

 

[Rogero]

No injuries please.

 

[Rod Marsh]

I'll definitely be watching this. He should be busy during the game so it'll give a good indication of what he's like. Particularly keen to see what his kicking and throwing is like as this would appear to be one of his strong points.

Genuinely never gets boring. Both the pedant and c*ck in me enjoys pointing that out!


Sometimes right, sometimes wrong but ALWAYS certain

Germany not sending a very strong squad ,Julian Draxler is the most capped player on 30.

Germany sending a really hungry young side all desperate to do well to make the team for the WC next year.

Almost more dangerous for Oz than the full German side who could get complacent - even though Oz beat them in a friendly not so long ago...in Germany.

Ryan, if he starts (and I reckon he will) is going to be very busy indeed and likely to be a tad exposed by a new three at the back system most in Australia don't believe is working very well.

Ryan's an excellent keeper but he aint superman.

11pm on a Monday night, too late for me I'm afraid.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Could be more people in Sussex watching this than Australians
