By the way, I thank you for pointing out the benefits of IE7 a few days ago.
I have downloaded and installed the beast and it is a goer in my books.
I am no tech head but it seems a lot like Fire fox but easier to use.
Cheers.

[QUOTE=Bert'n'Stella]Bert says Scotland could have had them in '98 (Brazil that is). Socceroos have a chance - really they have nothing to lose and will only benefit from the experience of playing Brazil. Good luck to them
Scotland did give Brazil a run for their money in 98' and they are shite!
With Guus Hiddink managing and the team as underdogs I think they will take ay least a point from the game. I would much rather listen to the Aussie bang on about winning than I would the English...1966 wasn't it!!??
