OT: Association Football

[the phantom menace]

So you haven’t been watching them lately either

Yes, I haven't seen the last few qualifying games.

 

[the phantom menace]

Unless you meant the Matildas - but yes, I've been watching all their games and still think they'd beat tonight's Socceroos.

 

[84 Baby]

Well deserved been our best so far

 

[the phantom menace]

Well at least they're back on even footing just before half time.

Good delivery and good header by Miller(?) to finish.

Don't know why they needed to check it.

 

[the phantom menace]

Ring the bell ffs.

 

[the phantom menace]

Ok, now THAT was awesome from Goodwin.

He's earnt the right to point to the sky in thanks after that strike.

 

[84 Baby]

Even just last week Irvine would’ve meekly passed that off to O’Neill. This week Goodwin gets into space, we knock it to him and things happen

 

[the phantom menace]

I like how Popa's got them popping after half time. More energy in attack and in D now.

 

[the phantom menace]

I missed the third goal on parenting duty, but at least they got through tonight.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The Bahrain game was possibly the worst piece of sport I’ve ever watched

Did I mention it was my boy’s introduction to the Socceroos?

 

[the phantom menace]

Just caught the 3rd goal on replay... scrappy, but good effort to make something of the ball ending up deflected in front of goal.

 

[JokerEel]

Yay we won!

Japan next Tuesday

I missed the third goal on parenting duty, but at least they got through tonight.

Might be the way forward for you.

Disappear for 5-10 mins and magic we score a goal

My grandmother whenever she would go the toilet at the old parra stadium.

Parra seem to score a try 85-90% of the time.

It was unbelievable how many times it happened.

We almost were tempted to ask the club if she could move her ticket to sit there.

She doesn't go to games anymore so the powers no longer work.

 

[the phantom menace]

Japan next Tuesday

Seriously...? I like Japan's style of play, should be fun.

 

[84 Baby]

Did I mention it was my boy’s introduction to the Socceroos?

He’s now decided lacrosse is the superior sport?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's a Chelsea fan

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And I don't mean Chelsea Manning

 

[Twizzle]

Yay we won!

Japan next Tuesday

will be much harder than China

 

[84 Baby]

And I don't mean Chelsea Manning

Do you mean Payton or Eli?

99% of Aussies wouldn't of even known this game was on. Need better marketing I think
