Melbourne should be enoughQuote:

Though i was dropped from a monkey
Amazing news overnight - Saudi lost to UAE. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of blokes.

How were BOTH of UAE's goals - woof!
What this means for the Socceroos is if we can somehow beat Japan tomorrow, we have qualified for Russia without even taking into consideration what happens in the last game.
Jeez those goals were good..
Just had a squiz at the table.. any reason why we are still sitting 3rd? Doesn't it go to head to head before goal difference so we would be ahead of the Saudis? (goal difference is equal anyway)
Therefore we would only need 3 points in next two games to qualify?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
What it means also is the Saudis need to beat Japan in the last game to have any hope of Qualifying as wellQuote:

It's actually means that the last game for Saudia them and the Japs can't collude to manufacture a mutual result to screw is over
Destiny is in our hands as we will have to just beat Thailand by a large score to guarantee qualification regardless of tomorrow night's result
As I said though doesn't this comp go to head to head results rather than goal difference??Quote:

See this is the exact game where it time to actually park the busQuote:

Matter of fact it would have been interesting to see Anges approach to this game if the Saudi result hadn't of fallen our way
Would he have stuck to his philosophy and attacked or chased a result by any means necessary
I was under the impression from memory it went Points, GD, goals scored, then head to head. I could almost definitely be wrong though.Quote:

Not that it really going to matter much after the last game anyway
It really down to what we both do in the last game
I thinking we going to find it much easier v Thailand than they will with the Japs
That first touch for the UAE first goal :fap::fap:
Is Japan safe?
If not how many points they need?
Soon as I seen it there only one other thing in the planet who do that shitQuote:

Matter of fact regardless of what happens tomorrow night if Japan draw in Saudi Arabia they are through
Japan not safe...only 1 point in front of Saudis and us.... + Great Leader firing missiles their way....Quote:
