Warrior, I agree with you about Gjurovski however you are wrong about Saso. First of all Saso plays week in, he is big and strong and he is a handful for any striker, he is a tough lad thats for sure.

As for Mirsad Jonuz LOL

He is hardly a credible coach, he coached the youth side for 6 years and produced the worst results. The only reason why he is head coach is because he is close to FFM and not only that they didnt want to pay a solid wage like they did for Katanec to get a foreign coach.

It seems FFA played their cards very well to have a chance to secure 2022 WC in Oz!! Lets hope it works...

Except there's nothing to prevent the Europeans from reneging on this 'agreement' and the South Americans are more likely to vote for the US.

Yeah, that is a fair comment, unless you look deeper into it.

Austrlian FFA head honcho in Lowy and Blatter are great friends with Jewish backgrounds which will mean a lot. If Blatter has given him the word, it is coming here. If you recall few years back Blatter also promised FFA that we are going to be part of Asia, and that did eventuate even though the Asian countries did not approve of it. There was a massive resistance especially from the Malaysian FA, Indonesian FA etc,

Blatter on his own accord made sure the the current WC is in Africa.

Latin America will always vote for anyone but the states. There is no love lost there. The only unknown are the Europeans, but Blatter can reign them in. You have to remember that FIFA & UEFA are highly corrupted organisations and it goes down to who you know. Lowy has friends in the right places and that will be the deciding factor and also the US had the WC in 94, so hoepfully it is coming here.

Rules for Women during the FIFA World Cup 2010

1. From 11 June to 11 July 2010, you should read the sport pages so you are aware of what's going on regarding the World Cup and will be able to join in conversations. If you fail to do this, you'll be looked at in a bad way or be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.

2. During the World Cup the television is mine, mine, mine at all times without any exceptions.

3. I don't mind if you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand naked in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I won't have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute - unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor.... it won't happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least two six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on. And please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, it's only a game" or "don't worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement" will only lead to a break-up or divorce.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during half-time but only when the adverts are on, and only if the score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one" game; hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together".

8. Most importantly, making love is out of the question during the entire month. It has to be a 'quickie' and that has to be during half-time as well.

9. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.

10. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:

a) I will not go,

b) I will not go, and inevitable

c) I will not go.

11. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

12. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch?" The reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".

13. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years".
I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League, English Premier League, etc.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Warrior, I thought Blatter was Swiss? I didnt realize he was Jewish like Lowy. Frank Lowy is a Hungarian Jew.
