[Albion] Australia Vs Equador double header in AUSTRALIA! Days before Brentford game.

[dazzer6666]

Hope you’re right, but it does feel that they are passionate about playing for their country, so perhaps less likely

No real drama anyway really….….one half-paced game each, probably subbed early and back in Brighton by Weds.

Or maybe the authorities will get their act together re the charge he has already admitted

No action & picked for England. Looks like he’s getting of Scot free

And completely f***ed from the jet lag. There’s no way they won’t be affected by that journey.

Nah….couple of full days (after a one - change flight in first class) is fine. Literally just did something similar two days ago (without the first class bit obviously).

Oh c'mon....you must have gotten into the world cup when it was on....surely?

Didn't watch a game.

Only Aussie players names I know are the ones who had been at the Albion.

I watched the final with a frickin' Port Power supporter and even he got into it. Assume you're a Cats man?

NSC sometimes

Over on one thread you've got people all but rending garments because Solly isn't going to start a tough, physical competitve game against the Italians. Now, over on here, we've got bed wetting because three grown men will be travelling first class with flat beds and melatonin and strolling around a pitch for 70 mins or so twice before arriving home four days before the next game.

And did you then have to play elite level sport? Maybe you're right, I don't know better, but it's difficult to imagine it wouldn't be tiring (game + journey)

I blame the mods

PS - they play in Aus on the Tuesday (evening). They won't be arriving back home until Wed afternoon at the earliest I imagine (time diff included), which is 3 days before we play.

 

[KJP]

So twatty to play the same side twice in 4 days.

The Equadorian lads need to go out for a curry house together, and claim they had a dodgy lamb jalfrezi. All not fit for travel

Atleast this way they are only travelling twice. If one game was in Ecuador and the other in Australia they'd have to go to Ecuador then Australia then back to England

Nick Pope also suffered a mystery "injury" I see, (maybe he accidentally bumped into Almiron) which resulted in Southgate picking another one of his famous "in form players", Fraser Forster, to replace him.

I'm assuming Forster is there largely as a cone collector for training, as that man should be about as close to the England squad as Perry Digweed, and Perry is 63.

You could clean a full set of Venetian blinds with those

 

[CHAPPERS]

So, are they all going to travel? Was Pervis' substitution a ruse to ensure he could withdraw? Caicedo also went down for a while.

Fingers crossed we pull them.

Mooy has pulled out of the Aussie squad.

That thought entered my mind as well. But I dismissed it. I just don't think they want out of an international match.

Mooy at a very different stage of his career

Are you going to the Melbourne match?

If they travel back via Perth on the direct flight they could be back by Wednesday Evening . First class - beds etc etc - they ll be fine
