    Apparently Sven has asked the USA to step in after France pulled out.

    Australia or Denmark are the likely opponents, France were never considered so I don't know where this has come from.

    There are published reports (soccer365.com, etc.) of the USSF's attempt to arrange a match with England, but I've yet to hear word of this from the English side. Hence, we can put this under the 'Rumor' rubric for the moment, can we not?

    That said, I, and many other U.S. fans, would anticipate this match more so than against any other world opponent. England has been pure class for so long.

    Oh that's OK then. If only Group A counts then I can claim that England were the third best team in the tournament. Cheers.

    If this comes off, my wife and I will be there.

    Sounds like a good opportunity to have our wedding anniversary & second honeymoon somewhere, and be able to catch a game while we're at it. :)

    Cheers,

    We're newlyweds. Doesn't matter to us. ;)

    Can't be any worse than a Ballarat winter... and the cold weather here, it's legendary. Ask any Aussie. :eek:

    Saw it, and thanks for writing. I'll write you back tomorrow... our bedtime soon here.

    And nothing like a Ballarat spring, either. We got some heavy rain last week (which just about all of Australia needs right now, in fact), but this week, it's sunny and gorgeous. So to sum up, and if I may steal a quote that one BigSoccer regular used to have in his signature, I'll take the rain, and the cold, for that matter. :)

    Back on topic, is there any confirmation to the rumours surrounding who England might play in February-- whether it be the USA, the Socceroos, or other teams? Post your links, please...

    Cheers,
    William

    You forgot... on free-to-air TV in some cases. ;)

    It's a charmed life, I guess...

    Well, that scuppers everything. :(

    Any other details, Flan, regarding the denial and who England may play instead? I still have the prospect of seeing an England match against the Socceroos, perhaps-- that was another rumour...

    Cheers,
    William

    I would love to see it as well and would buy my ticket tomorrow, etc...

    I read it or heard it somewhere, can't remember where. But what's the problem? That was good enough, for pedro, not me? :)

    Shame it's been confirmed as untrue as I'd like to see a match between us and the Americans.
