OT: Association Football

[hindy111]

My little bloke recently asked me why he only ever sees kids in Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal jerseys around the place. Why not Chelsea and Man City? I explained that these red jersey teams were big when these kids' dads were young, so it's the family team.

Actually the club he plays for is dominated by Italians, so a lot of kids have Serie A jerseys, which is pretty cool.

You should of said cause we live in Perth.
In Sydney you see a better mix.

For all the Tottenham-is-my-second-team merkins in here, there's some very interesting analysis on YT. I have no idea how accurate it is but it is at least entertaining. I wish we had more of this on the NRL:

2nd team in soccer is ridiculous if didn't live there.
I follow Parra due to family but we grew up close to Penrith. So it makes sense.

This was in Sydney, specifically in Circular Quay. We were there last week.

Just watch the Wanderers f**k it up.

Lol... You called it. Down 1 nil with time running out

I just knew it.
Typical Wanderers.

Typical Wanderers.

They scored a consolation goal to get it back to 2-1 after Perth went 2 nil up late... Yep, typical Wanderers....

Don’t f**ken deserve that after the laziest f**ken half I’ve seen since a young 84 Baby was a hard nosed centre back watching lazy f**ken midfields and forwards doing SFA!

Atkinson is a Kalac vs Croatia selection.
Metcalfe has been on 20 minutes and has joined Irvine in being invisible.
Behich is done.
McGree… FMD if he could do the basics he’d be an ok player.
I know we’re missing some players but it’s f**ken horrendous soccer. The laziest movement I’ve seen at a professional level that’s exacerbated by not being able to pass a ball to save ourselves.
Corners and free kicks are horse shit and I don’t know why we play wide when we have neither anyone who can cross a ball nor anyone willing to try to get on the end of one

Fulham's wait for a Major Trophy continues on.

Certainly didnt disgrace themselves across 2 ties with Liverpool in the semis of the League cup.

1-2 & 1-1 all draw. They were up 1-0 for a long time at Anfield a few weeks back.

Craven Cottage looked like it was pumping this morning.

If it went to extra time or penalties could have pinched spot in the final.

How embarrassingly ridiculous.... Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill....

A judge has ruled that Luis Rubiales’ actions towards Jenni Hermoso were “carried out unilaterally and in a surprising fashion”.

Did anyone know the soccer Asian Cup is on and Australia has played 3 games so far. This comp would have been a big deal 4 or 5 years ago - but when you bury a sport away on a streaming service nobody has, the code just gets forgotten.

Had no idea tbh.

Was that the tournament we won in Australia like 8-9 years ago.

Arnie does nothing for this team

Arnie does nothing for this team

TBF who knows what he’s tried to bring tactically because we’ve struggled to put two passes together to show anything. The one time we did we scored

The Indonesian's are almost 100 places below Australia in the world rankings. Yet, we don't look any better than them. I stand by my claim. Arnie has no idea. We have looked hopeless all tournament.
