Why is it that at least one person insists on coming into threads such as this (same goes with AFL and NRL threads) and say something negative for no reason what so ever?

On topic, I think the game could go either way but I think the most important thing is they come away with no injuries. Im tipping a 3-3 draw.

That is why I put in the fourth option. Unlike other polls created on AFF where negative responses are 'flamed', I wanted to capture the whole spectrum and see how many people don't give a s$%t about the game.

So please feel free to respond even if it is a negative response.

I think Australia has better players but don't play as well as a team together as Greece but I still think Australia shouldn't have too much trouble beating them.

For the sake of the game I say Australia, but if they lose it will not do much for the spirit of the game here and to their world cup aspirations..

Soccer should be thrown on the same pile we throw cheap and nasty Korean cars. But that's just me (puts double strength flame jacket on)!!

Soccer is boring as bat! Plus the Australian team isn't really made up of Australians anyway.

So the following names don't sound Australian?

Lucas Neil
Craig Moore
Scott Chipperfield
Michael Beauchamp
Mark Milligan
Tim Cahill
Brett Emerton
Luke Wilkshire
Harry Kewell
Archie Thompson
Joshua Kennedy

Plus what is your definition of a 'real Australian'? Hang you head in shame.

Why do people like to show their ignorance by belittling something they don't understand?

Australia will win, they have to.

It wont look to good for the team or coach if they get beaten by a side that did not make it into the world cup.

Go Australia.

no Kewell or Cahill... well there is 2/3rds of our attack not playing.. Although Greece didnt make the cup, they are still the European Champions.. I voted for a draw.. Without our 'big guns' we won't score a bag of goals :(
