OT: Association Football

[Eelementary]

Threading the needle.

The Socceroos need players like that - we need players with close ball control of that calibre.

That was a breath-taking display of dribbling.

How good are the Jets going! And yes I mean Newtown.

Ch7 sport this morning are leading with an A-League story that SFC have only won 1 of their last 4. f**k I thought, the wheels have fallen off.

Then I see their results
4-1, 6-0, 2-2, 3-0, 0-0 & 1-1

W12 D4 L1

Crisis ?

 

[strider]

They've clearly fallen off the cliff

 

[Twizzle]

bogey team nearly pulled it off again, can't believe Mariners missed an open goal from 3 metres out

I hope they keep pulling it off for the rest of the season for ya mate.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They defend very well. I don’t get why they haven’t won more games.

yeh they have definitely improved under Okon, average roster but punch above their weight

Today, Sydney FC confirm that Head Coach Graham Arnold will remain at the Club for at least the 2017/18 A-League regular season and finals series.

In doing so, Arnold has ruled himself out of coaching the Socceroos at the World Cup in Russia in June and July of this year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Arnold proved at the Mariners, and then again at Sydney, that he is a development coach. The Socceroos won't get any short term boost out of having him on board.

Roberto Mancini too expensive?

 

[Twizzle]

Gallop can offer just over $1 million, possibly rising to close to double that with bonuses should Australia progress beyond the group stage in Russia.

fat chance

[Poupou Escobar]

I go to make a coffee and have a piss at nil all, come back and it's 1-1 ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Shat myself shortly before that last one but couldn't be bothered getting out of my seat.

 

[EelsFan05]

Switch over and watch the first tennis immortal win another grand slam Pou.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Is there a chance I'll see some camel toe? If not, f**k tennis.

 

[Gronk]

Good result for what was a push in the chest after provocation by a tool.

 

[strider]

he should go and punch the previous judge in the head

I couldn't agree more, but it's interesting that Colombaris wasn't given a 5 year ban by the FFA just like any other fan would have been given under the same circumstances. Probably even before it went to court.
