Australia is much the same as other Asian/Oceanian countries in the EPL arse kissing. They also have a hard on for the Spanish big two over here as well.
Luckily for us Juve fans, the Bayern - Juve game will be shown on TV but it will be delayed coverage (6:45 in the morning here with the live game starting at 4:45 I think its Chelsea V APOEL?) so I will just wake up and watch it then
Anyways on to the game, I think this one has draw written all over it for us, which wouldnt be a bad result at all really. I think Ciro has to start with Trezeguet and Iaquinta and if things arent working out in that department, then he can bring on Ale to help out. I think Diego will really shine in this game as he would know how the German teams play inside out, so he can provide a huge advantage for us upfront.
Our fullbacks MUST be on their game all night, as Robben and Ribery (if they're fit) will certainly make it a very difficult night for them if they are in form. I'm pretty sure that Ciro will start with Zebina and Grosso who are our best fullback pairing by far.
I think our midfield is stronger then theirs though, I would love to see some more Marchisio magic in this game
BTW is 11 points the minimum amount of points that guarantees qualification to the next round? (barring goal difference)
