Top five games..as I head to Bangkok:)

Top five games..as I head to Bangkok:)

I head to Bangkok today.

As a mad football fan, my mind drifted to other games I'd been to of significance.

I grew up in the UK and am a mad Celtic fan.

My top five games I've attended are:

1. Australia v Uruguay Nov 16,2005

2. UEFA Cup final. Celtic 2 Porto 3...Seville, Spain. Yep, flew from Australia for that one. Well it was our first european final in 33 years.

3. Sydney FC v Central Coast Mariners. The very first Sydney A-League game. I was there, in the stadium, two hours before kick-off. I was keen!

4. Melbourne Victory v Adelaide United. 6-0 Grand Final. Archie scores 5 and the Dome rocks for Australian football

5. Ajax v Celtic 2-1 to Celtic in Amsterdam. Charlie Nicholas, George McCluskey ensured the win over Ajax.

and of course Celtic v Real Madrid, Juventus, Rapid Vienna and Notts Forest and every time, I mean every time, we've beaten Rangers when I've been there:)

So here's hoping to add a few more to the list this week.

What are your top five games you've ever attended?

Nakamura understands the Aussies!

Japanese and Celtic star Shunsuke Nakamura will understand everything the Australian team says on the pitch should the two sides meet in this year's Asian Cup.

Celtic manager Strachan said: "Nakamura understands everything you say, he just finds it hard to hold a conversation, which anyone who tries to learn a foreign language understands.
"It might be difficult for him in social terms but with regards football terminology, it's been so easy it's not true.
"You only need to tell him once to do something and that's imperative as a coach.
"He picks instructions up right away and he has a photographic memory in terms of football.
"No matter what position you try to tell him to play, he picks it up no problem. You need intelligence to do that.
"So he deserves everything he has got this season and it shows that you can be skilful but also work as hard as everyone else.
"He's played every league game this year and people talk about having rests and breaks but you don't if you look after yourself and train properly."

Maybe so, but his teammates didn't seem to understand too much in the last meeting between the two sides. 1-0 with ten minutes to go in a World Cup game. The message in any language is, you don't lose from their, never mind 3-1.
