In the words of the great @Spartan117 and maybe a little Bob Hawke “if ya don’t give ya staff the day off you’re a bum!”

Reckoning it will end up 1-1 today

1-1 gets us through

at the start of the tournament I took $2.10 to qualify out of group stage

I hope I havent put the mock on soceroos

I think as long as we don't lose by three or more we advance

Those are pretty good odds considering 3 teams out of 4 can make it

Nobody expected Turkey to play like absolute turkeys though

 

[Speed2burn]

Yeah we’d be seriously unlucky to not qualify

Win is very important for confidence in tournaments like this

I’ll go us with a W 2-1

Hanging in there...dont know much about soccer but we dont seem very good here...cant string possesion together...maybe Parraway are very good defensively

I think Parraguy were ranked about 38ish and the lowest ranked team in our group with us at 27, the Turks at 22 and the yanks are 17 ish coming in to WC.

You reckon we should be favourites here @Buttface ?
I didnt check the betting before

Paraguay are playing a back 5 which isn't easy to breakdown

 

[happy_tiger]

Paraguay looking dangerous in the 2nd half

 

[innsaneink]

Give that man 2.panadols...brave

 

[Lestronge]

Nestory looks knackered . Need to bring on Toure

 

[innsaneink]

Aaarrgh thought that was bending in

 

[Speed2burn]

We’re lucky we can defend because our attack is pretty uninspiring

 

[happy_tiger]

Bos has been our best player through the group stages
