Seriously, Sydney shouldn't be allowed to hold any more big games.
It's like a morgue.
Didn't even sell out.
Lame.
yeah yeah we are champions of south east north Asia. not bad ay.
but not quite as good as rnd of 16 WC.
What award did jedinak recieve? Saw him get one before keeper of tournament and golden boot and noone i was with caught what it was for. Surely it cant have been player of the tournament.
Just watching the highlights. How good was that early crunch on Son Heung-Ming from Jedi, credit to him lesser tackles have sent better players quite for the night.
Best game I've been to since jets GF. Awesome when the little kid behind me cried when they equalised. I turned around and told him it isn't over yet. Then we scored and won and the little legend gave me a big high 5
Loved how when Kruise went down the ref gave him a yellow for feigning injury, only for him at the end of the game to come out in a moon boot :wub:
Also, how good was Blatters reception. Corrupt muppet.
Great game. One of the most enjoyable of my life.
the ref was a shocker
Any news on Kruse's injury? Bloke looked Devo at full time.
I wonder how many players will get picked up over the next 6 months after their successes.
Luongo's stocks have surely risen from a month ago.
Ryan being sounded out by Liverpool.
Can only be a good thing for our player development as we look to WC Qualifiers.
Achilles looks ok

Good news for him.
Had Achilles tendinitis once with a very small rupture, so I absolutely cringe every time I see an Achilles injury. A complete rupture is pretty much game over.
Newcastle now needs to push to host one WC qualifier. No doubt without the AFC restrictions they could pull 30000 plus.
temporary seating for the hill areas.
I had no tears at FT
Was an amazing night.
One of the endearing things will always be the feeling at end of normal time when with victory in sight the chant for Aussies went up the scarf were being waved Korea looked physically spent and them from out of nowhere the Koreans scored.
Everyone was on such a high and then flat as a tack
Can't believe ****s had the balls to do it again in ET though
The other endearing memory will be the first class beer shower I got when Troisi scored.
Was sitting next to a corporate box who were getting free piss. They covered half the stand when it went in and missed the rest of the game thanks to the Riot Squad removing them.
All in all a cracking night and anyone who stayed at home next time your country is poised for a great night in our football history make sure you are there as you are missing out big time
I missed out this time, but was there in 2005 and again in 2013....they really are great nights in all sport that Stadium Australia is making a name for itself.

ABC scores ratings goals with Asian Cup final and Queensland election coverage
The Asian Cup final between the Socceroos and South Korea had an average TV audience of 1.8 million people on Saturday night, but the live coverage was seen by more than 5 million people overall.
The match, which the Socceroos won 2-1 in extra time, was broadcast live on the main ABC channel everywhere except Queensland, which carried the state’s election results instead. Viewers in the sunshine state watched the match on ABC2.
With both the Asian Cup and the ABC’s “Queensland Votes” election night coverage, the ABC easily passed its commercial competitors to become the most-watched channel on Saturday.
The ABC network of ABC, ABC2, ABC3 and ABC News 24 had its highest share of audience since digital channels were introduced in 2008.
The ABC’s main channel and the ABC network were both No 1, with shares of 20.3% and 28.6% respectively.
“The ABC’s coverage of both the thrilling Asian Cup final and the election result in Queensland demonstrated our ability to cover multiple events of national and state importance across all platforms,” the ABC’s managing director, Mark Scott, told Guardian Australia.
“The Asian Cup final in particular brought many new viewers to the ABC and we are very proud of the results.”
The ABC’s election coverage reached 2.1 million viewers across ABC and ABC News 24, including 959,000 viewers in Queensland.
Queensland Votes on ABC and ABC News 24 achieved a combined metro and regional average audience of 466,000.
The Asian Cup semi-final between the Socceroos and the United Arab Emirates reached 3.1 million Australians nationally and the quarter-final between Australia and China reached more than 1.8 million people nationally. Reach means the number of people who tuned in at some stage and average refers to people who watched the entire broadcast.
The ABC’s head of sports and events, Justin Holdforth, said the Asian Cup had been a celebration of Australian culture, community and diversity.
“It’s been a privilege to be part of and we are immensely proud to have brought this landmark moment in Australian football to audiences throughout Australia, live and free-to-air and across ABC radio and iView,” Holdforth said.
There were 43,000 live streams of the Australia v South Korea match, plus an additional 12,600 catch-up plays of the first half via ABC’s iView catch-up TV platform.
what the hell were the other 22 million people watching????
Just saw the second goal for the first time.
