Socceroos to play Ecuador in London

Post by Stuckey »

THE Socceroos' countdown to the World Cup will continue in March against Ecuador after the South American qualifiers agreed to a friendly with ­Australia in London.

Though it's understood the deal has yet to be formally signed off, Australian officials are confident it will be - given the lack of available alternative opposition for either side on March 5.

I'm a huge fan of these friendlies in Europe. Sure I'd love to see these games be played in Australia but we need to get our best group together. Putting a 50 hour round trip on top of that makes life very difficult for players.

I hope Herd gets a call up!

Making the Liverpool squad is hardly something to be called up to the Socceroos for!

That was probably true a few seasons ago but they are a totally different club now and are starting to once again be seen as a top club.

And I'm not a Liverpool supporter either.

sheilaroos shouldn't miss a trick here. You can put a couple of thousand on your crowd by publicising that Cahill will start the game.

I think it's a good idea.

Should prepare the team for playing in the slums in Brazil.
