nattai Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Schwarzer Wilkshire Neil Moore Chippers Valeri Culina Emerton Holman Bresc Kewell Not saying that will be the starting 11, but it would be pretty close imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donners Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Replay on SBS Two at 8am. Expecting 1-1 here. We won't get carved up like we did against Germany, but there are enough weaknesses there to let them in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjani'sBootCleaner Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Ghana to win, Kevin Prince Boateng to up his value please! He looked fantastic against Serbia, always wanted the ball and took the game by the scruff of the neck. Not showing the deficiencies he had for us yet, which is good to see.

Rio_V Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Considering the way these two teams played last time out, it would be odd to see Australia get anything out of this one. They have looked the worst side in the tourney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
