The rules entitle him to do it. Much like Cumdog, Souttar and Boyle all representing Australia.

Spewing Volpato wanted to represent Italy but it's benefit us overwhelmingly as well.

I'm not a fan.

Lionel Messi is now the youngest and oldest player to both score and assist in a single World Cup game

Lucky though, his assist was a stretch, passed the ball to Fernandez who had everything to do, individual effort really.

You're not that gronk that was posting the same comment about soccer being the superior game all over NRL Youtube videos?

Yep... Dunno much about soccer and this was the first full.game I watched in some time.

Our defense got us home.... Very frustrating watching us.play the other mob seemed to have more opps just didn't convert them

They did. Had more attempts and more shots on target. We made ours count I guess.

Meh. We're out of the World Cup last night without that rule.

How they can beat Germany and then lose to Costa Rica .....insane .....a side that can kill a team on the counter attack .....but can't break down a functional back 5 .....well to use a Sam Allardyce term ...Costa Rica parked the bus in front of their goals

Maybe parking the bus is a good option for us.
Just looking at the world rankings, Denmark 10, Australia 38.
It’s going to require a Herculean performance from us to get any points from the game.
All strength to the Aussie’s !!

Well Hal, there's certainly been less noble things done on a sporting field in the name of a win.

Just watched the highlights of the Argentina/Mexico game, and the commentator said:

" a football match broke out in the second half." ⚽

That doesnt happen very often.

We just have too many brainfarts in us ....we need to find a minimum of 2 goals to get the draw imo
