OT: Association Football

[Avenger]

lol.
Nice one.
Maybe you should all move back to Bonnyrigg.

It's too hard Suity. Been over 10 years now mate and it's the only sport that my wife and kids attend together. It is the world game, remember.

PS If Serbia make the WC I'll be in Mother Russia next year. Fingers crossed.

Even though we lost when that prick Santalab scored against us a few weeks ago the buzz in that souless stadium was still bigger than anything I have experienced since the Eels' run in 2009.

The fact that you had to go back 8 years for a similar experience at a RL game says a lot about what football has to offer.
Every Sydney derby at Allianz and Pirtek since the inception of the Wanderers has offered that experience.

I hope they do. It would be the greatest experience of your families life. My only problem is that it is in Russia.

We went to Germany in 2006 and it was epic. Don't read too much into Russia. Plenty of fake news about Mother Russia as there is about Serbia proper.

I'm truly hoping you are right.

Just curious.
Were you at the Socceroos v Croats game?

No. I was in Slovenia watching it live.

Okie dokie.

Matt f**king McKay! The soccer playing Darsh brother

 

[bartman]

Only 6 of 10 A-League clubs represented.

 

[Gronk]

A merkin, but a clever merkin nonetheless.

 

[bartman]

A-League expansion team in "South West Sydney"? I like it...

So now we'll have ESFC and SWSW?

So now we'll have ESFC and SWSW?

Well, it's pretty close to Bonnyrigg...

 

[bartman]

So, the Socceroos held a valuable 1-0 away lead in the WC qualifier in Iraq, from just before halftime up until the 76th minute....

And game over... we need Japan to draw or win away against UAE for us not to fall to outright 4th place in the group

Don't get your knickers in a twist - we have a run of 3 home games coming up.

The draw against Iraq was disappointing, but that pitch was atrocious, and helped nullify Kruse, Luongo, and Leckie.

I reckon we'll have better luck playing at home.

 

[Twizzle]

that effort from Langerak was pissweak to let that goal in

You are a bit of a moron but I'll make it simpler for you we (well we but obviously not you) realistically need to win 4 remaining games including in Japan to auto qualify, or win 2 (1 must be Tuesday v UAE) to finish 3rd and have playoff vs probably Uzbeks and then probably Honduras or Panama
