Full game here



was venerables in charge yet? I'm curious if the true blues sweeper's mistake cost him selection against iran. People from the time say he was a much better option

Was this the only game they played?

No, this was a couple of months before he was appointed(not that he’d have been involved in this even if he were)

They played again the following year(‘97) as Team Green vs. Team Gold, and the concept hasn’t been revisited since😔

Crowd looks small, id watch it if they put it on

Is there a link to team green v team gold anywhere?
 
Plus here’s screenshots of the write-up of the True Blues vs. Travellers matches(there were 2; one in Sydney, the other in Brisbane) in an issue of Soccer International magazine:

Who are you referring to as the True Blues sweeper? Milan Ivanovic? (I haven't watched the video).
 
In any case, these matches were analogous to the Aussie cricket team playing against 'Australia A'.

Is there merit to bringing this back? Absolutely there is, IMHO - though by the same token I’m the first to concede that the logistics of the current international-⚽️ calendar’d make it all but impossible to schedule😔
