.....whilst Australia pillage all the East European countries for almost the entire socceroo squad !!

And the South Sea islands for thier rugby squad, except for those they pinch from SA.

And remember Jelena Dokic

And a good chunk of their Olympic squad too.

Aussies are only bloodline facists about their cricket team it seems..

Actually, the dodgiest selection for the socceroos is Tim Cahill

Remember the good old days when we had Attila "Atti" Abonyi & Dragan "Dougie" Utjesenovic?

Good times

When the commentator used to say Atti's surname I always thought he was talking about one of Harry Williams's leg joints

LOL

hmmn seemed to have touched a raw nerve with some Pomgolian posters...lets face it the english have not fought a war by themelves since they threw stones at the vikings and their approach to sport mirrors that approach...

dokic grew up here...

which eastern euros are in the Socceroos?

aside from members of the world's oldest living culture we are a country of immigrants since the poms usurped the joint in the 18thC

no surprise then that our sporting reps are frequently 1st and 2nd generation Oz's

I am concerned that the forum's historic and traditional advice to me of obtaining 6* now seems to only come from pomgolians...

am wheeling myself off to find a mirror so I can give myself a very hard look

Oh get ****** horrie. You're just pissed off that there are more successful attention whores than you.

You can't usurp a whore, tac. You of all people should know that by now ...

depends how much you're prepared to pay, Petey . . . .
