Football Ashes Series
Why won't you poms play us in a Football Ashes Series.
Sure, you'll give us a good rodgering for the first 5 years. But, are you scared you'll get pumped like we do to you in any other sport. Give us a chance. I can handle losing for 5-10 years, if it means beating you at another sport. Do any of you poms support this?

Gimme a break. You Aussies get so jingoistic when it comes to any sport. Even when you are truly pants at it. Scared my a***. If we want poor opposition, we'd probably rather have an annual England-Scotland game instead. Who knows in another 8 years you might even qualify for the World Cup. In the meantime I think Palace could probably beat an Oz national team.

Considering you know nothing about the game here, why don't you shut up?

Ahhhhhhhhh, a stereotypical Aussie. How nice to have you on the boards. I suppose now you're going to tell us how rubbish our country is, then the weather, then go on to slate our sports teams, all the while you are earning great coin over here to take back to Australia and buy yourself a nice big house.
We'd thrash you at football, all day every day, and we always will. There isn't enough time in the footballing calendar to take out a month to go through the motions of beating a sub-standard team. Come back to me when your team have actually achieved something and there would be any point in playing you. Get the message?

England would struggle to qualify for the world cup as well, if they had to go through the South American pool.
If the qualifying wasnt so damn rigged we'd maybe have a chance. Why should we have to play South American teams to qualify for the world cup? Geographically prejudice is FIFA. Tony ,, Tony Who ? POPOVIC !!

Yeah, and that's precisely why you would get a beating. Don't go bleating about the South American qualifiers, the European qualifying system is about the most difficult to get through. For the 1998 world cup you only had to beat Iran, so you've got nobody to blame but yourselves. Now, I wonder how you'll cope when you lose the real ashes this winter.

Back to the original question.
I agree you'd spank us for a good 5-10 years. But in every off year where theres no Euro or World Cup, it would make for a good months football, and extend a great rivalry. So from the responses on here, you poms have no legitimate excuse not to have it, and if you don't want it, your a pack of soft-cocks.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE FOOTBALLING CALENDAR FOR OUR NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM TO DEDICATE A SERIES OF GAMES AGAINST A SUB-STANDARD SIDE.
WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO MAKE IT CLEARER FOR YOU. AND IT'S POPOVIC, NOT POPAVIC, YOU PILLOCK.

There isn't enough time in the busy English season to send a team across the world for a few games and then return. They are trying to introduce a winter break to rest the players, but that would probably result in a fixture pile up and an Ashes series wouldn't do any favours for that either.
It's not like cricket, where you can play half the season in England with reasonable weather and then spend the winter in hot places. Football is played all year round, especially if it is a World Cup or European Championship year. You'd be better off having the competition in England anyway as the majority of the top Aussie players are in Europe. Yes, Australia would get spanked for a few years and then a few more, and they might improve. It'd certainly make a difference to the Solomon Islands, Tahiti and then Uruguay or someone to decide if there are 4 South American sides or 1 Oceania team in the WC.

But even so, in an off euro or world cup year, the summer break is Winter in australia, perfect for football.
3 matches, would take two weeks, no more. You're all full of excuses. I know it will never happen, but only because you english people are wimps. 2 weeks every 3 years. Sure you're too busy.! What pathetic excuses. No wonder your not world champions, you're not HUNGRY enough!

Says you about a team who can't get Kewell and Viduka to make the trip from sunny Leeds to Australia for qualifiers. Talk about hunger!

seriously. Some reasons why not:
1) we would always win it. 2) some of the bigger clubs here already want a winter break. They won't be happy about a nothing tournament with a third world footballing nation. 3) we would always win it.

For a crack at your mob, Viduka and Kewell would be available.
Its your clubs that would stop it. Sure, you'd use a muppet team of reserves the first time, but then you'd become serious, when we punish you for your lack of seriousness. for any queries..refer to the quote below.
