Louis Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Everton have been invited to a pre-season friendly tournament in East Rutherford (New York) in July. Not sure whether it's been accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I'd like us to play some decent teams this pre-season instead of shite opposition, maybe that way we won't come into the season so cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherEstapol Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'd go batshit crazy if the Toffees played here! Unfortunately our local top flight comp here (A-League) isn't the best quality what with it being the 6th(I think) season... That said, last year, we had Fulham and Celtic out here, so I can't see see why Everton wouldn't play here too! The FFA would be VERY accommodating to their golden boy(Timmy)'s Club.

holystove Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Pleased that some of our Oz members will get to see the boys first hand . Has Everton ever been known to do a European tour? I'd love to see a game on the continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherEstapol Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 awesome! Definately going to drive up to sydney and will probably fly in to melbourne...might give brisbane a miss though. I predict that tickets will be massively overpriced, but I'm gonna go anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lachstorai Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) Hey lads. I'm an Everton supporter in Melbourne, Australia. Very excited by the news they are coming to Australia. Over the past few years we've had Celtic, Juventus, and Fulham come from pre-season tours so great to see Everton join that list. As for the shit opposition comment, yes your right our local teams and our league in general are pretty rubbish, but its the best we got and it has its moments . As for the opposition listed, you've got probably two of the worst teams to play. Melbourne Heart (And yes that sadly is their real name. Our league is run by complete dropkicks with no idea about football) are only a new team, only played their first practice game a few days ago, and have only got around 12 or so players signed up so far. And to think they will be playing Everton in a few months. Brisbane Roar (Once again, yes, that is their real name) were a shambles last year on and off the field. Im tipping them to struggle again this year. But they have what I personally think is the best stadium in Australia. Anyone has any questions then just ask, will do my best to answer them.

BrotherEstapol Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I wonder how many World Cup players will end up making the trip? I imagine Pienaar will be staying at home since SA's the host and all. Players going to SA with their National team(some potenially); Tim Cahill Tim Howard Yakubu Yobo Johnny H Anichebe Jags Baines Saha Did I miss anyone? Anyways, I guess the above players would only make the trip here if they got knocked out early. I'm thinking that really, England and Holland would be the ones to last longest. Can't imagine the USA or Australia getting too far past the group stages unfortunately. Got no idea what Nigeria are like to be honest!

BrotherEstapol Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Also, I find it strange that they decided to choose the docklands stadium over the new rectangular stadium...I guess they wanted to get the extra 15k seats filled up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 The tour starts July 17th. The World Cup is from June 11th to July 11th. But the players that go (to SA) will certainly get a bit of a break after they're eliminated, won't have to report back with the rest of the squad. Just a question of how far they go in the cup and then how long they're given after. You'd like to think (am I naïve?) that the players would actually want to go on a trip like that given the choice...think I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertia8 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Docklands suits me, it's next to work . Will defo goto the Melbourne game and might fly up to Sydney for that match too... might be more worthwhile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inertia8 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Peanuts will be at the WC too... Welp, I'll go anyway, surely those that are knocked out early will join in on the pre-season trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 At worst you'll have Turner, Hibbert, Distin, Coleman, Duffy, Bily, Arteta, Neville, Gosling, Osman, Fellaini, Rodwell, Vaughan and Baxter plus a fair few reserves. Probably Jags, Saha & Anichebe as well I'd have thought. Bound to be a few WC players will make it also. Enough players there to put out a decent side whatever.

BrotherEstapol Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 The tour starts July 17th. The World Cup is from June 11th to July 11th. Correction... Everton will face Brisbane Roar at the Suncorp Stadium on Saturday 10 July and then fly to The Etihad Stadium to take on Melbourne Heart five days later on Wednesday 14 July before ending the tour at the ANZ Stadium with a game against Sydney FC on Saturday 17 July.
