There are no pointz, all that countz are aggregate scorez. Pointz are fo group or league etc.
first of all: stop fucking typing with z's. It's not faster. it's stupider.

Decided I'd post this on both threads.

How do you think we will play?

This is my line-up (3-5-2):

.........................Schwarzer
.............Thwaite Neill Popovic
......................Grella (CDM)
Emerton Bresciano Cahill Chipperfield
.....................Viduka Kewell

I'd look at bringing Aloisi and Culina on depending on how the game is going.

I'd start Thwaite because experience is not as important as it was at the Estadio Centenario. We need pace (which Thwaite has) to combat the Uruguayan counter-attacks, which can be blistering.

I'd start Cahill ahead of Culina because he is getting back to his form of last year and has had 10 days rest since his last game. He should be fresh for this and he can hopefully probe at their defence, particularly the aging Montero. His aerial strength is also an advantage. Since Grella will be keeping tabs on Recoba, it gives Bresciano a free reign to run at the defence along with Kewell, or to run off Viduka with Kewell. Bresciano is there as the Recoba of Australia - the playmaker.

Also, Chipperfield and Emerton would be used as wide mids/wingers, not wingbacks, as Uruguay are only playing 4-4-1-1 in this match, not the 4-2-4 from Montevideo.

Funny game. What did you guys think of the goal? Do you reckon Kewell fluffed the shot? Or did he pass it deliberately?

Yes.. Cisse's and Larsson's leg breaks over the last few years were some of the worst sporting injuries I've seen.

Hard to say, kinda like the Fletcher goal for Man Utd against Chelsea. I don't really care, as long as its in.

So far so good ... I just hope that Skoko can get a run, he really has been the forgotten man. I would much rather him on the field than Grella - Josip could adapt well as the 'holding' player.

Everyone is praising Kewell now, even though he was trying to shoot and it has now turned into a 'flick'! :rolleyes: People are now seeing what Bresciano does week in and week out for Parma - score consistently and really gives us some flair when we attack.

45 minutes away from going to Germany! :)
