Thanks. They are expensive, that’s for sure. I think the main thing is travelling with some like-minded people, and having some support (people who can speak Spanish). Thanks for the tip for the facebook groups, definitely worth exploring.
I don’t think he is too concerned with the cost if it comes with the reassurance/confidence that he can travel with ease and not struggle to get around and communicate.
Package deal might be the way to go if that’s his primary concern. Although maybe some others can shed some light on any dodginess or anything to be aware of. I know that they pre-book more than just the game and travel as I saw the buses going all around in Russia to various sites and they rocked up at a pub we were in with a 100 odd person booking and the Aussie tv crews waiting.
Yeah. To be honest, if I were travelling with a group of mates we’d just do everything ourselves, but if I were travelling solo I’d prefer a group so I can see where he’s coming from.
Reading through one of the itineraries, it’s pretty comprehensive - lots of local sight seeing in between match days. Feeling very jealous already.
Corrected.
He’d live in earls court if he moved to London eh?
Game against Thailand is in in early hours tomorrow,this is probably must win to get top spot to ensure playing a 2nd place in another group.
Tidy finish to level it up just before halftime
Beautiful goal.
Excellent result
Great result, but that first half was as turgid as anything I’ve seen. Thailand really threw away the win in the first half when they should’ve put a few more past us.
Piscopo looks a decent player, bit of drive and vision from midfield.
Not to mention one of the few young Aussie players to wilfully and successfully run at defenders. If he carries on at this rate, I reckon he’ll be back overseas in a year or two at a decent club.
Top of the group, Yee haa
So get to play runner up from another group.
That is a must win game,then a semifinal win gets an Olympic start.
A loss results in a playoff for the last qualifying spot.
Japan can’t get out of their group,I’m surprised!
This is the best tournament the Olyroos have had in years, right? Undefeated in the group stage.
Technically that’s correct, realistically. Then,couldn’t beat Iraq/Bahrain and lucky to beat the Thais.
None of these 3 teams are good.
Mind you,ya can only play what’s in front of ya.
The real indicator comes from now on.
This squad is down 4 gangbangers and Arzani,if they can get through the next stage of qualifying,then it’s a major accomplishment
Whilst we all think we should be putting these nations away with relative ease, we haven’t lost a game. If you build a tournament around not losing, you’re in with a shout to go deep into the knockout rounds.
If Keanu Baccus is anywhere near the national senior team in the next decade I am tapping out.
This x100.
Over-rated big time and his defending in this mornings game was absolutely schoolboy-esque. I really don’t get how/why people think he’s even up to it at HAL level…squad player at best for me.
A Westy. Squad player!
A few boys look tired. Interesting to see what he does with the 11 next game. No Folami yet either.
