6-1 is my pick ....
 
Good to see Fallons ego restored to the bench where it belongs.
 
Hope Smeltz scores as he must be a bit down at the mo...
 
Hoping for narrow loss as hoping for narrow win is a waste of time..I will save that strong hope for Sunday.

A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen

So much for Stanaway's revealing through his "sauces" that we playing 442 (no comment expected Gourdie)

All I'm hoping for is something less dull than aussies vs indonesia last night
 
I like both these teams so a scoring draw would be awesome (if unlikely).

Indeed, but Mexico aren't rated 132nd in the world either. If they do go a goal down it'll be anything but dull after that.
 
PS Seeing Boyens at the back gives me bad memories of the confed cup :(

Fair enough mate. Was just kidding.
 
15 mins to go. How can I be this nervous about a friendly? I hate to think how I'm gonna be when the World Cup starts. I don't think I can do it.

Try "GOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL" or a rapid "gol gol gol gol gol gol". That's usually how it goes.

I think you might be more likely to hear stunned silence if NZ score  (sorry!)
