Russia 2018 World Cup - AFC Qualifiers

[Beeen]

I would argue mooy a better player than Rogic member. Rogic doesn't last 90 minutes without completely blowing out his arse.

[Jetmaster]

Yep and even Sam Gallagher and Cameron Watson would have looked OK out there last night

Your point is what??

Apart from Leckie he was the worst on the park for us last night

Wake up ....was his debut and did very well. Give him a few games at least.

Leckie is shit....cant see why Harper spunks over him.

well, you said he was anonymous.

four assists, hit the post, put the ball in the back of the net and generally was quite lively; not exactly what i'd call anonymous.

also i quite liked the all yellow kit on tv, looked the goods.

This ffs
At least give him a few games before he gets chucked in the same category as Scott McDonald

it is interesting to contrast the way Postecoglou has dealt with (relative) unknowns on debut and blokes who missed out like Mclaren with the way Miller talks about guys like Cooper/Lundy etc recently.

Cheers.

Yep - half hour show to lead into their delayed coverage of the game. Kickoff will be 9pm on SBS

[belchardo]

so is this the "dumb enough to pay for fox so can talk about it live" thread, or the "hanging onto the glory days with SBS on delay" thread?

for the record, I'm in the former.

good work socceroos.

[Jetmaster]

Ok...so what has to happen for us to miss out on qualifying. Apart from losing of course.

[MFKS]

So exactly what blackmail material has Leckie got on Ange ??

It must be ****ing top shelf stuff whatever it is

[belchardo]

Field is atrocious. Has it been raining in sydney or just league/rugby tearing it up?

[MFKS]

Yeah but listen to the excuses for the Aussies from Hill and Harper.

Like FFS most of these blokes play or have played in Europe.

They never train or play on wet pitches before and learn to select the appropriate shoes and studs for the surface and condition of it??

FFS
Don't they walk the pitch pregame and warm up on the ****ing thing to get an idea what it is like before the game??

From Boz

we're on 12 points from our games against the top four teams in our group

Syria also have 12, UAE and North Korea have 10 and Iraq have 9

if Jordan beat us, and the four teams listed above all win, three will have more than 12 points, Iraq will be on 12

our goal difference without Bangladesh is only +12, Iraq are on +6

in simple terms, if we lose 0-3 on Tuesday and Iraq beat Viet Nam 4-0 (as well as UAE, North Korea winning, with Syria not losing) then we are out of the World Cup

However we just scored

[belchardo]

Timmy!

[plague]

the mooy/rogic combo is garbage.
