I like the black clash strip, no idea why they've gone yellow. Do they hope having another state colour on the pitch will help boost tourism?

Not sure a game between two minnows deserves its own thread

Still tickets for 5 different categories available for those who want to get last minute tickets.

I thought an event like this would have sold out ages ago

All the Australian fans probably wishing Sterling was still around so they could abuse and throw projectiles at the selfish little brat. Reminds me a little of Samir Nasri when he wanted out.

Im going tonight for the spectacle and my son loves Liverpool, what sort of team will they put on the park, reasonably strong?

I reckon we need some mileage in the legs of our better players, so those that came should see decent minutes (Henderson, Skrtel, Mignolet, Lallana, Can, Ibe etc). Firmino and Coutinho didn't make the trip and they're (hopefully) our two most creative players.

Many non-Liverpool fans would question how good a team we're putting on the park even at full strength lol (and fair enough too)

Couldn't think of anywhere in the world i would rather not be than Adelaide Oval tonight.

But good-luck to the fans of both sides, events like these are great for football in SA and will only help build the game in the state and country for years to come.

Hopefully both teams come out and play attacking football and give the crowd some entertainment.

So much to get excited about in Football Australia at the moment.

Maybe because the Liverpool keeper is black?

Looks ok on TV

Racist

The goalie has numerous coloured strips, think AU wanted to try something differant.

It didn't look great in the photo above but I reckon it looks good on TV

Decent game to watch so far. Carrusca looking like he should be playing on the other team

I reckon there used to be a better atmosphere at Adelaide Rams games, only time a song was sung was when the muppets were prompted through the loudspeakers, same happened in Brisbane.

Yeah, could hear a pin drop most of the night. Australian's just aren't aclimatised to football yet. Even when there was over 95k at the MCG when United was here a few years back the crowd made as much noise as what you would get at a conference game in the UK with 1200 people. We are slowly learning though
