Mention Australia to any person interested in sport and they will raise their eyebrows and look to the heavens wondering if it was necessary to mention The Ashes, Tennis, Hockey, Swimming, Rugby and probably Bowls, Curling, Skiing, Kite flying etc etc!! and to add the trials....
In 2003 The Socceroos beat England at SOCCER! The match was a friendly held at The Boleyn Ground (West Ham Utd), where Sven-Goran Eriksson, remember him? was using the match as a "trial", so that he could use two teams changing the players at half time. Needless to say, The Three Lions went down 3-1 with perennial "sick-note", Harry Kewell getting on the score sheet. Strewth mate!
