I never mentioned anything about England wanting to beat Australia. I certainly understand a clash against Spain or France or Ireland as a more important clash than Australia. For us though it is our World Cup final. I think it's just good to see Australia doing half decent in the World Cup and against bigger nations seeing as we've been in the doldrums for the last 20 years. I fully understand that football is the biggest sport in England. Given the bad luck the English have had in the 90's with World Cup and Euros.

Oh and about the heated debates. Expect them to continue next year around the time Australia and England plays in the World Cup.

Sorry mate, that wasn't aimed at you. More a general comment about my experiences in general.

Yeah I know the feeling and wasn't offended don't worry. After 2006 everyone though they were an expert with outlandish calls that we'll win the World Cup. Most don't remember the horrors the country has endured Iran 1997. Uruguay 2001, New Zealand 2002 (failure to beat then in Oceanic Cup costing us a place in Confederations Cup) Even the Sydney Morning Herald were saying put money on us to win the 2010 World Cup at 41 dollars. Absolute tosh think we can make the quarters but nothing else. Loos at Netherland, Brazil, Argentina, England, Spain and if they can show form France and Italy to feature definately not the Socceroos.
