OT: Association Football

Great little documentary from last week focused on Ninkovic.


Corica was an arsehole. Ninkovic did what was best for him and his family. He was left with no choice.
Anyway, there is some great vision in this video from All Areas. Brilliantly filmed and produced. I wish the RL could do this.
It's worth a watch from others. A great insight into the passion of football.
And his family side of things was sweet.

F**k off Sydney FC song

Parra fans should do one when we beat Storm or Manly or Penrith or Bulldogs or...etc ..etc...

Anyway, it is a world cup and I love watching it.
I'm so looking forward to the FIFA Woman's WC in Oz and NZ next year.

It's great to be able to watch games on free-to-air starting 9pm before bed (currently Argentina v Saudi) and starting at 6am before work (Australia v France) - and to fill in any gap nights/mornings with replays on demand.

Whoah, that equaliser was unexpected.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Whoah, that equaliser was unexpected.

I knew it was coming.

 

[the phantom menace]

What about that one to put Saudis in front? Argentina in trouble...

 

[the phantom menace]

Amazing save on the line by the Saudi goalie.

 

[the phantom menace]

And another good save. I'd really expected Argentina to notch it up when the Saudis went in front, but they haven't really - and now have at best 7mins left to salvage a draw.

 

[the phantom menace]

8 mins stoppage time added, FMD.

 

[the phantom menace]

Unbelievable header from by the defender on the open goaline, to maintain the lead!

 

[the phantom menace]

Inspired second half from Saudi Arabia, in attack and defence. Deserved winners.

Argentina and Messi just couldn't deliver - always good to see a tournament favourite suffer an upset!

 

[Eelementary]

I'll never understand why Argentina are equal favourites - their squad is amazing, but they always fail to deliver on the world stage.

Having said that, the Saudis played exceptional football.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Two arsey goals but you can’t argue with their defence.

 

[84 Baby]

Get Craig Goodwin up here! I want to boof him!

 

[Suitman]

Wow!!!

 

[Twizzle]

gee we don't like to press, we just sit back and wait

good to see some of these debutants getting some game time

 

[Twizzle]

conceded a few at the end but 1-4 was to be expected I guess

 

[Gronk]

Yes very timid.

 

[84 Baby]

We think we too good/don’t trust our teammates enough that we don’t put in necessary hard runs with little chance of getting the ball

 

[Eelementary]

I don't want to blame Mat Ryan for any of those goals - but gee, he is looking slow, and his reflexes aren't looking too sharp...

 

[Suitman]

gee we don't like to press, we just sit back and wait

Typical of Arnie's negative tactics.
