I thought we would have to beat 2 of South Korea/Japan/Iran in the SF/Final to win the Asian Cup. Now it could up being none of them at all.
Get onto FleaBay. Japanese supporters will be sloughing them off by the 100's
I was at Strathfield at around 7pm waiting for the 7:25pm home. 100's of the Blue Samurai were looking pretty confident too.
Er....only 2 UAE supporters spotted.
We'd have to be looking pretty good after they've been through the 120min+ wringer, wouldn't we?
These ****s better not **** this opportunity up now.
Get the ****ing Gypos out of the team now
More tickets to be released at 10am today.
Why does Melbourne the 2nd biggest sport supporting city in Aus behind us not have one of- a semi, final or 3v4?
The Vic govt didn't bid enough for the big games because they already had Aus Open and cricket WC lined up.....very basically it.
That is why all the last four games are all in NSW, the govt spent more.
Their state govt didn't bid on the games in the latter stages due to already having a big commitment to Aust open tennis.
I was down there last weekend. The Sydney international tennis got priority on the big screen over the Aust v Sth Korea game.
Smaller live site set up at outside Crown casino.
then why didn't Queensland bid for it?
not that I'm complaining mind but it just seems weird that governments are driven by other, less important sports
Yeah not sure abt Qld, other than it not being a big vote winner for the pollies to chase it. When the bidding process was done Qld were on a massive public spending tightening. Maybe it didn't sound like good PR.
And yes they would be regretting that decision now.
NSW being corrupt as all hell just threw money at whoever asked apparently.
Top stuff.
I think that long term Melbourne would have had to prioritise the tennis over a one off event like the Asian cup.
Tennis Chiefs have been itching to move the 1st major of the year to Asia for ages so there was prob a lot of pressure there.
Seriously can't believe that red card in the Iran v Iraq match. You're off your head, plague.
Ben Williams should never referee again, he is a genuine disgrace.
One of the best decisions ever seen. Guy should be getting kudos
I'm with everyone on the planet who thought the first yellow was soft.
But for that same bloke to commit 3 yellow card offences in one second he only has himself to blame.
I just think Williams' rep is influencing people's criticism.
I'm judging it just on that one incident.
There was a pretty bad offsides call against Japan early last night but people were like 'meh' BUT BEN WILLIAMS MUST BE KILLED.
Oh and to be fair by the time you read this I prob will be off my head.
Long weekend and all.
Peace.
The best bit about your defending of this decision is when you called the full blooded swing stomach height at a ball the keeper had in his hand as an identical foul to the player jumping over a GK and making almost non existent contact.
The GK gets up and gives the Iranian a stiff arm, square in the chest. Where is the card for raising your hands against an opponent?
A stiff arm in the chest?
A gentle push away, which then reacts to by falling like he's been shot and holds his face, doesn't get up when told to by ref. deserved a yellow.
Like the ref, the player too should have known he was on a yellow, and not been such a tool.
It was like rivaldo clutching his face when hit in the knee with a ball, and the whole world was baying for blood that the ref was conned.
Williams wasn't conned.....
But the first yellow was soft as hell.
Wot?
First one was a foot left in on the keeper.
Dirty cheap shot.
Other was s clear foul but was way closer to a 50/50 ball.
Both fouls.
Both cards.
I still say the cheap shot is way worse than the bloke at least going for the ball.
Mr Fish makes good sense.
Everyone moans that simulation diving etc is a blight on the game.
A ref takes action on it and is hammered for it.
Can't ****ing win with the dumb ****s on this planet who don't see the hypocrisy
Ps Ben Williams though is still a **** of the highest order.
Hates Griffo
Holy shit you just made a post that was sensible and reasonable.
Or have I had too many pills already?
Someone clarify.
I need a farkern lie down.
