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.

I think it's a good idea.
Should prepare the team for playing in the slums in Brazil.

Can't beat a bovril on a cold winter night game.
You forgot to add....."if you want to get sick real quick". Nothing beats a schnapps or a few krupnik shots.

Fosters, well there's your problem, hardly anyone drinks that stuff here. It is a crap beer. Carlton Draught however, mmmm, classic!
