Soc: Arnold predicts Aussie adrenaline rush against Argentina
Olyroos coach GRAHAM ARNOLD expects the adrenaline to kick in when his team takes on
defending champions Argentina in their second group match on Sunday.
Australia drew 1-1 with Serbia in their first game of the Olympic soccer tournament
at Shanghai Stadium yesterday .. the same venue where Argentine star LIONEL MESSI led
his side to a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast.
ARNOLD says the adrenaline will kick in for sure when the Olyroos play Argentina in
a couple of days.
He says the beauty of this competition means tomorrow will be about recovery and a
light training session .. then they'll be ready to go again.
A well-taken goal by Australia's RUBEN ZADKOVICH was cancelled out by SLOBODAN RAJKOVIC
as the Olyroos became the first Australians in action at the Beijing Games .. a day ahead
of the opening ceremony.
Australia should have had gone 2-0 up .. but substitute BILLY CELESKI'S 74th-minute
shot hit the post.
