Is the game against Iraq tomorrow night sold out yet?

i hear it's pretty close

Sydney - Australia's Sporting Capital. Still.

If the match is sold out isn't that close to double what they got in Melbourne for basically the same game?

Basically the same game? I trust you're joking yob? Compare the build-up for the Melbourne game to the tonight's Sydney game. Like the last campaign, Sydney gets the final game - it all comes down to tonight. A win and the players celebrate a birth in a 2014 World Cup finals. 20,000 die-hards & 60,000 theatre-goers at ANZ tonight! Nothing wrong with that though - great to see it sold-out. Pumped for the game!

Aussies to win 3-0

Melbourne got the final game last campaign because the Victorian Government bought the rights to host it. 74,100 attended. It was a pretty decent crowd for a dead rubber though.

It is the same game. both are sudden death.

I'm pumped too but there's some heavy showers about.
Homebush has already copped a couple.
Thunderstorms also forecast.
Might diminish the standard a little.

f**k the standard

[gyfox]

A win is a win.

Who was the plonka who decided to heavily water the pitch just before the game? Clearly didn't bother checking the radar before making that decision...

I think it was God.

It is the same game. both are sudden death.

And so are the prelim final and the grand final. Jordan game kept us alive and a game closer to the prize. Winning the iraq game gave us the prize. Just like a grand final.

Is this the official "f**k the fanatics" thread or should we start another one?

All the games are awarded the same number of points. Doesn't change because of context or the order. 3 points. We won the grand finals in Melbourne and Sydney and lost the grand final in Jordan.

You're right. But that's not how it *felt*. This isn't about logic, it's about feelings.
