Fancy Some Stamps?

Rounding out its slate of exhibitions before the World Cup, Australia has announced it will play Liechtenstein in a friendly on June 7. Liechtenstein is one of those adorable countries that is about the size of my backyard. Famous for its stamps and for being about the size of my backyard, Liechtenstein is not exactly a world soccer power. Apparently the capital of my backyard is called Vaduz and the match against the Socceroos might take place there if my relatives are over for a bbq.

While Liechtenstein is apparently favourite – Luxembourg has also been mentioned.

Surprisingly, Liechtenstein is a much better bet. They drew 2-2 with Portugal in the WCQs in Vaduz and lost 1-0 away (with a late goal to Portugal). Luxembourg (IIRC) have lost 48 consecutive EC and WC qualifiers.

As this would be the last friendly before the world cup, a chance to hit the back of the net a few times would be a good thing.
