OT: Association Football

[Suitman]

Good atmosphere at the game last night.
Shit result though.
Babbel has some work to do.

This set piece is as good as you’ll see in any comp.

Kim Jong's brother?

Messi and CR7 would be proud.

Kim Jong's brother?

He could be but this guy is Dutch.

Spotted Suity settling in for the WSW game on the weekend.

 

[84 Baby]

I like to think that he's glued velcro to his hands and the cups, and he strategically drinks from them without spilling a drop. Beer Jenga

 

[Twizzle]

Suity has grey hair, unless he dyed it during a mid life crisis

 

[strider]

Obviously no beer limits there

Martin Boyle has chosen to represent Australia.

I'm excited!

I'm not sure I can agree with a bloke representing the country who has never stepped foot on our soil.

Personally, I don't mind - we are a long, long, long way off producing genuine world-class strikers, so I reckon importing some will help.

Boyle's highlights compare to Kewell's, imo - and Kewell was, imo, our most talented ever footballer.

Boyle's pace, agility, dribbling, and shot power make him better than any other striking option for Australia, imo.

For too long now, Australia has suffered from a "team" mentality - hacking the ball into the box, regardless of who is there to take advantage, passing it to a teammate at all costs (when dribbling is the better option).

Luongo and Rogic are two of our brightest stars, and they're "selfish", because they dribble first, and pass second.

I'm excited to see Boyle put on the Socceroos jersey.

He is pretty good, imo

Bolt's highlight reel from last night wasn't too shabby, it was only a trial and mostly reserve grade but much better than I thought he would be capable of

`He might actually be worth a few games

He butchered a fkn sitter .... his 2nd goal was basically handed to him ... his 1st goal was crap goal keeping .... other than that he was ok

 

[Gronk]

He still looks like a baby giraffe. He might be the fastest man in the world, but he can’t control the ball at speed. If he was 22 .... but he’s 32. Can a side carry a winger if he brings in an extra 5,000 ? If yes, that’s why the Mariners will offer him a gig.

 

[Twizzle]

of course a lot of it is publicity, if he can play a few games its a bonus the way I see it
