Sweltering...

Sweltering...

Forecast for Brisbane on Friday is thirty degrees...and it doersn't cool down that much at night over there either.

retribution for the taunts of horizontal rain ..

We're gonna have to get used to it - it's going to get even hotter than that..

It's ok... but not like a 30 degree day in Wellington ('83, '88 and '96 if I recall correctly lol)


So will be warm, but not as intense as the Kiwi sun, more humid tho...

You need to increase your fluid intake by at least suxty percent ;-)





Surge!

I just went for a wander at lunchtime... it's a bit muggy... will be fine by game time though, and the pubs have air-con lol









Surge!

Good weather for getting your shirt off!

yeh id prefer 30 degrees rather than that awful weather last sunday!

nah. it was cool

Firty-Free today!!! lol

But they reckon about 29 tomorrow with storms - but 'they' have been wrong before lol







Surge!

And the Roar will be playing in their dark uniforms

Our  Brazilians  should love it then !!

So will theirs... and their Asians... and their Qlders lol









Surge!

Yeah Pity Daniels not playing. He would play real well in that temp.

Great opportunity to get your lads used to finals conditions.

Pity Daniel isn't playing. Would be a first to see him play without thermals under his shirt! 

^ Word.   

I seriously doubt that FIFA has a rule about tatts - there's heaps of players around whose tatts are clearly visible.

the kick off is 8pm. would the heat be less intense then?

what time is KO our time?

11pm.

Yes it will be Inter, prob low 20's-ish... will be pretty sticky tho, thats what will hurt them - esp the last 20










Surge!

Would it have been better if they arrived in Qld earlier instead so they can get used to the conditions?

If you read the dominion post, that explains why they travelled today WellArdGerrard2007-10-04 19:05:03

I've read it. It also said they trained in about 2 degree celcius. That can't help them settle to the Qld heat.

Last Aussie pub I went into was up in Noosa. night cold beer in an airconditioned bar. mat & I had a few, felt fine, walked outside into the afternoon "warmth" and got an instant hangover. Was a long painful headache all the way back to Surfers!

Maybe Daniel has tatts?

No rule about tatts - materazzi's covered in them:




By the way that's his PIN number on his arm

Sweltering or not i think we really should beat the Roar. They really arent that good at all. But i really think Elrich should be travelling but he's not and i want tim brown to start. but we cant all get what we want

looks more likely to be his phone number

btw, that's not Materazzi's phone number, it's Zidane's sister's.

hahaha

also Fernando Torres has a tattoo of his name(?) in elvish on his arm. anyway isnt what Daniel wears under his shirt not a thermal but a skin? like a lot of sports players are using these days

I'm here in Brisbane now, just got in this morning.

It's warm, which is fantastic after Wellington's miserable weather lately.
But it's not oppressively hot, I would say high 20s.

In fact I ran into some guys playing 5-a-side in the park and joined in with them.
Some handy defensive work on the part of yours truly helped us to a 9-5 win.
Wasn't too hot for me to play in, so I'm hopeful the Phoenix will be OK too.

Haven't seen any Retro Rickis or Roar kits around town.

Just off to the Caxton to meet the others now.
Will take my camera; hopefully will have some video of the crowd and the game for you all afterwards ....

I was over there last week and already the Roar shirts are on special half price at $60.
