FIFA World Cup thread

‘Twas a joke my friend. Actually thinking we might go out in straight sets( again).

Tunisia actually shocked me with how well they played .....didn't watch the entire 2nd half ...but they certainly were the better side from the 1st hour

Saudi’s did really well last night
It was like watching Wests Tigers with a 2 point lead with 20 to go

Massive win bro that's right

Mooy had a hit and miss game, lost control of the ball a few times, need him to be 100%

Yeah as the game wore on he was getting more desparate ......the 2 turnovers in the 1st half I blame the aimed targets .....the through balls were on .......they didn't read it was on

What an upset. The stats make it look like a fluke. 70-30 posessions. Argentina had 15 shots, 6 on target and Saudi had 3 shots, 2 on target for 2 goals.

Well done to the Saudis!

Kewell's comments are so true

This was never going to be easy .....but we had to try and stay positive and then work our asses off when we made mistakes

When we try and play in behind we look good .....but Leckie looks like he has run out of legs already ...I think we need to try and attack that left side ...Behich will run all day ...play him into the game ..and will work his butt off

Mooy Duke and Irvine have looked good so far ....Souttar good at the back

Mabil needs to be starting over Leckie

All my mates giving me shit for supporting a country I've lived in all my life rather then support a country I have no ties to & have never even visited hahaha what flogs

Stay true mate... We do OK in some sports... Just not this one

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

The goal we scored was almost perfection ....I'd argue the best goal we have scored in our 6 World Cup Final campaigns

Even better than Cahill's volley against the Dutch in 2014? Nah.

Agree. Atkinson was very disappointing too.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

The upshot is that Denmark and Tunisia drew.

National disgrace

Punt soccer. Its a game for weirdos and pussies and mummies boys etc...Aussies are made of sterner stuff and just cant compete.

Soccer takes a lot more skill to play then Rugby League mate, anyone can run with a ball & tackle people

Obviously that is not the case
Alternatively, everyone can chase a ball around the field like headless chooks and roll around on the ground screaming for their mummy.

If that's not the case why do soccer players make in 1 month what footy players make in one year?

Rugby League is hardly a big sport out of Sydney let alone the world I think that's saying something

Do you equate popularity with quality?
You are a Backstreet Boys fan eh?

Most people in the world are poor. Soccer gives the poor a chance to compete without getting hurt, so that they can keep working.
Rugby League players are men who have rolled the dice.
Soccer players are skinny kids with overprotective mummies, who would never risk a thing.
