Okay, normally I wouldn't make a thread about a match that so few people care about, but I'm only doing this because I'm probably buying tickets to this match since it's in Sydney, and Australia will be at full strength.
I'll be getting an adult ticket (over 16, even if you're a student), and the prices are $50, $35 and $20 for Category A, Cat B and Cat C respectively, and I think that's decent value. I have uni until 9pm that day :sob:, but I think this should be worth the watch :thumb:
So any Sydney-siders are very welcome to join me; maybe we should finally meet up

Socceroos squad announced
Australia Soccer Association
Socceroos coach Frank Farina has named a full-strength 25-man provisional squad for the upcoming FIFA Confederations Cup qualifiers against the Solomon Islands.
Liverpool ace Harry Kewell will make the long trip for the games despite the chronic ankle problem that has restricted his appearances for the national team while Malaysian-based duo Ante Milicic and Simon Colosimo and Leicester's Danny Tiatto have made the squad despite missing the four-day camp in London earlier this month.
Jade North and Archie Thompson have been overlooked.
"Tiatto didn't come in to camp due to club commitments but he is fine now. Kevin Muscat looked good in camp and he is ready to roll," said Farina, who will reduce the squad to 18 or 20 ahead of the October games.
"It's a completely full strength squad. These are hugely important matches for us and we will be ensuring we put the best team on the paddock."
The winner of the Australia v Solomon Islands series will land a place in next June's FIFA Confederations Cup alongside hosts Germany, World Cup holders Brazil, Argentina, Greece, Tunisia, Mexico and Japan.
"The chance to qualify for the Confederations Cup and get quality matches against nations like Brazil, Greece, Argentina and Germany is vitally important to our chances of World Cup qualification so we won't be taking any chances," added Farina.
"I don't think any payers will have trouble being motivated for these games. They are professional footballers and will do what's necessary to get the job done."
Australia and Solomon Islands reached the final of the OFC Nations Cup by finishing first and second after Stage Two of the competition held in Adelaide during June. In a thrilling final game the two nations finished their match in a 2-all draw.
"They were well organised and disciplined in Adelaide and two or three of their players have the ability to cause teams trouble," Farina explained. "We must respect them and with a big crowd of some 25-26,000 in Honiara it won't be just the weather that is hot."
Solomon Islands will host the first leg of the series in Honiara on Saturday, October 9 with the Australian leg of the home-and-away series at Aussie Stadium in Sydney on October 12.
Farina rejected suggestions that he could let some big name players return to their clubs after the first game, should it result in a big win.
"The squad stays together," he stated.
The Australian squad is scheduled to arrive in Honiara on Thursday, October 7 and will fly back to Sydney for the return leg immediately after the first leg.
