Socceroos to play Ecuador in London

Postby Stuckey Wed Jan 29, 2014 9:48 am

THE Socceroos' countdown to the World Cup will continue in March against Ecuador after the South American qualifiers agreed to a friendly with ­Australia in London.

Though it's understood the deal has yet to be formally signed off, Australian officials are confident it will be - given the lack of available alternative opposition for either side on March 5.

I'm a huge fan of these friendlies in Europe. Sure I'd love to see these games be played in Australia but we need to get our best group together. Putting a 50 hour round trip on top of that makes life very difficult for players.

wouldn't it be wiser to play them in Ecuador or at least somewhere in South America to help our players get acclimatised to the weather and have an experience of travelling to that region of the world under their belt?

I guess so but especially for the euro based players you wouldn't want them pissing their managers off too much in the build up to the WC by coming back all jetlagged.

Yeah this is a bit suss. Once sure, twice maybe, but again? He'll only get so many opportunities.

He's out for his club as well though. Not sure what the issue is though. I hope he wants to go to Rio.

Not looking good for Herd. I hope it isn't depression or some such.

Wilkinson is in for him. I was hoping Malik would get a run and maybe a look-in as a RB option. Still, happy to have him with us this weekend.

really positive play and movement thus far, I'm very happy :)

and I heard on the Fox Sports podcast that we couldn't get our hands on a pitch to train on :/ wonder if we found one eventually
