Nothing will prepare you for how she goes about saying Socceroos
Replying to @FootballCliches
Jane Hill’s pronunciation of ‘Socceroos’. I think she thinks it’s a player who’s missed 2 pens.

Been getting harder and harder to dig out gems sorting through 2-300 wholesale items a week but sometimes a (matchworn?) gem like this one makes it worthwhile

Need your help identifying some of these opponents for matches against Gibraltar, I think most of them are club sides.

Any Indonesian experts out there? I'm pretty sure this is Indonesia Vs Macau, but I can't find any record of them playing in the late 90s, at any level. The only photo I can find of Indonesia wearing this kit is a friendly Vs the U19s.
