While WSW were pretty darn lucky to get away with that, Im happy that they took it out. The behaviour from Al-Hilal and their supporters was deplorable.

At passport control the sight of one of the few Australians coming to town for the ACL final prompts the reflexive inquiry whether you ??are here for the game??.
This in turn prompts a colourful debate between the Al Hilal supporting customs official holding your passport and a colleague who supports a rival club. ??Go Sydney!?? shouts the colleague, confirming the belief that Al-Hilal are the Manly/Collingwood/Sydney FC/ Waratahs of Saudi club football ? the team everyone else loves to hate.

Was it the same ref who was more than happy to award Brazil soft penalties in the WC?
I can't imagine the behaviour of wanderers fans would have been any different if they'd been utterly ripped off like what happened on sunday morning.
Why can't we all just enjoy seeing an Aussie team take out that title?
A massive congratulations to them is all that needs to be said really.
Yeah, but the Wanderers - whatever else their thuggish crimes - still don't hail from a country ruled by people that think it's the f**king 11th century and treat literally half their population like glorified baby-incubators and private f**k toys with no rights.
f**king scum-sucking nation and we ought to have boycotted playing the backward scum.
It's a f**ked country to be sure. I'd be happy for FIFA to eliminate most of the nations around that area from competition like many did with South Africa back in the day. Never will though as that area of the world has been lining the sports pockets for a while now.
That doesn't change how bad the ref's performance was though
Unless you are a Wanderers fan what enjoyment does them winning bring? I don't automatically go for the NRL side when the WCC rolls round for example.
The fact the game was decided off of that refereeing performance makes it a terrible result. The keeper should have been red carded by the end of the game, not being awarded the man of the match.

I enjoy seeing aussie teams doing well Danish. They were representing the nation as well in my opinion. I will support any a league team in such a situation..
