Achilles ruptured?

He likely wouldn't have been able to continue for any length of time if this was the case. Hopefully less serious

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.
Just a pity those Afc restrictions are the same fifa applies to any and all of its games, including sanctioned friendlies and World Cup qualifiers.

As Thomas said the AFC restrictions as you put it are actually FIFA regulations to prevent incidents like Hillsborough.
Same.... was brilliant! So much tension and excitement.
Oh thats right because the crowd weren't european it just means its automatically shit!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Well lets get those hills rid of then.
temporary seating for the hill areas.
Nah, I was 'that guy' at home bitching on Twitter about lack of atmosphere at a place where I wasnt.
Seemed to be the thing to do about the semi in Newy.
Crowd tended to pick up when I turned the volume up on the TV though.
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.
See you in line to sign up for the next tour to Afghanistan Captain Oz.
http://www.theguardian.com/football/...ction-coverageABC 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????
There would have been plenty watching the tennis
Those figures are misleading anyway.
How many people went to a bar/club to watch the thing???
Just saw the second goal for the first time.

Don't think Morrocco will be hosting anything anytime soon.
