OT: Association Football

[phantom eel]

I know you are just baiting Suity with that comment

Really? Well I never...

Huge game tonight for the Socceroos.

Can we beat the Blue Samurai? Hmm...I'm not confident...

tough game but if we win we're just about guaranteed a top 2 spot

I love watching the Japan National Team play.

It's a tight and mobile style that you don't usually see played in many of the leagues around the world.

 

[strider]

None Suity.

So are you now admitting the A-League is poorer quality than people have previously tried to convince us that it is?

Well Australia is really just a pissy little country at the bottom of the world with very a little market ... only sports we dominate locally are the ones played in very few places

No
Can you quote whoever said the quality is higher than you claim they say it is? Nobody has ever said that. It's just people like you and Gronk that keep saying it that it isn't.
You claim you enjoy football. Sit back and enjoy the game instead of being a troll.

He's probably been our most consistent for awhile but that was very ordinary effort by Sainsbury for their goal

Japan are a joy to watch - speed and technique.

I'm hoping our superior physicality and fitness can get us over the line tonight.

I agree.

So do you want me to trawl back through three threads and quote people debating the quality of the domestic league, or do you want me to sit back an enjoy the (international class) game? Make up your mind Suity, you seem to send confusing signals...

They look sharp. We look a little lethargic.

 

[strider]

Great ankle tap lol

 

[strider]

So whats the odds ... 10 mins into 2nd half - cahill on, goal

 

[Gronk]

20 months ago the A-League was ranked 99th best league in the world.

Just above Hong Kong and below Congo

Japanese playing smart. They're up a goal and they have everyone back like the Berlin wall. Boring, but it can win games.

Agreed.

And we seem to be pushing the miracle ball too often.

We just need to be patient.

 

[84 Baby]

If we can come up with a draw that'd be best can hope for at this stage

I recall people trying to say it should be ranked around 25th... but to a grumpy pedant that apparently that doesn't count unless I go back and re-quote the entire discussion?

 

[phantom eel]

Japan are a class above. It's a pleasure to watch them play.

And you really think that? Or, you wouldn't know?
I wouldn't know either, but I would think it isn't. I'd love our best teams to play the best teams in Hong Kong. I reckon we'd smash them.

I reckon 99 is a bit low, tbh.

Let me see... trawl through old threads, or just look at a recent post?

Q.E.D.

Tbh I honestly think the A-League is better than Chile's league, as well as India's and Mexico's...
