The games at Reading's magnificent Madjeski Stadium are --- Argentina on 30 March and Cameroon on 30 April.

This will be a great chance for the locals to see the likes of Batistuta , Crespo , Veron etc etc at Reading and with the support Reading has in the area the Aussie's will surely have a good temporary support behind them ( maybe only against the Argentinians )but never the less the Aussies will be welcomed well.

Reading's marketing manager Boyd Butler told Sydney Sunday Telegraph newspaper "We approached them first and the dates are now locked in. It's all systems go as far as we are concerned."

"We know Australia are looking for a permanent English base and we believe we should be it."

"We are only 30 minutes by rail from London and we think we'd sell out the Argentina match and probably come close to filling the stadium for Cameroon."
