  • Javier Hernandez and Co will be banned from eating beef at the World Cup
  • Miguel Herrera fears the stimulant sometimes used in livestock will mean they fail drugs testing
  • Five players were withdrawn from Mexico's CONCACAF Gold Cup squad in the USA after testing positive for clenbuterol
  • Mexico players have also been banned from having sex at the tournament
  • The team trained in Mexico City on Wednesday, with Hernandez playing in goal

No sex or beef? Jeez, at least let them have one.

for those who like to party hardstyle and then combine it with the socceroos match, home nightclub is opening up for the socceroos vs holland match on wed 18th. Home has always been the venue for dutch supporters in the past so the venue will be more accommodated for the Dutch fans.

State of Origin 2 is also on that night, so most pubs and clubs are going to be packed pretty early beforehand too

 

Maybe pubs, but not clubs. Not Sydney on a Wednesday night in winter

As good as the World Cup and the Olympics are good for the economy and morale of the brazilian people, the protestors do make a good point that why should the government be spending public money on stadiums when theres cleary more issues that need to be addressed.

General WC question, 

why do they bother playing the playoff game for third place?

At the Olympics it makes sense to play for the Bronze medal, but why at the WC?

I think in Australia we're too focused on the winner only and no one cares about what happened below 1st place.

 

Whereas in other (especially the smaller) countries, they do care very much about those lesser positions. If you think about it, it is indeed a big deal to be the 3rd best team in the world out of 265 countries!

 

I remember in Hungary when I was a kid, in the nightly sports news they used to report on all sorts of sports and various competitions and they used to mention if one of our competitors or teams came even 5th in, say, the European rowing championship. And you couldn't even say it was because Hungarian athletes hardly ever won anything, because Hungary has been punching above its weight by for example typically being well inside in the top 10 in the Olympic medal tally.

 

So I don't mind the 3rd place playoff, I'd love to be able to say one day that Australia came 3rd at the World Cup!
