Soccer Super Thread

[happy_tiger]

Socceroos scored early from a penalty ,Thailand hit back and are playing some entertaining football

We have wasted some golden opportunities

We need a world class striker

 

[happy_tiger]

Kruse ,Mooy and Rogic have been absolute garbage tonight

Getting carved up by the FIFA world ranked 146 Thais

Almost game over then

 

[Blackpearl]

Thank god for mat ryan
Roo's are aweful tonight
2÷2 with 5 to go
Mooy and kruse are having a shocker

 

[Blackpearl]

Nathan burns should have way more gametime
Draw is a horible result for a horrible performance
Just aweful

 

[Blackpearl]

We were lucky to bloody draw
Ang"s worst game as coach regarding team selections

 

[foreveratiger]

pfftt what a laughing stock the Socceroos .

If Australia had to Qualify through South America even Bolivia who are coming last would touch them up.

Draw to Thailand :laughing:

I haven't watched the game (IQ'd it,) but I saw the team before I went to bed and thought that smacked of arrogance. Ange must have thought we'd only need turn up to get the three points. The Thai were ready to play and they made a big deal out of it for their recently deceased monarch.

I'll reserve judging the players until I watch the game.

Berisha Besart gets his Australian citizenship on Australia Day

Does he become a serious consideration for our Socceroo selectors ??

On last nights effort berisha might be a real option if he is eligible for selection
At least he is a goal poscher and always puts himself about
The socceroos were garbage last night except for mat ryan who daved our arse from total embarrassment

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

We'll have to win every game from here to be a sure thing, otherwise other results will need to go our way. What a cluster…

The decision to not take Cahill certainly backfired , why play the way we did and then not take a guy who is so good in the air

But then again with passes that Mooy ,Rogic and Kruse were providing Cahill would of needed to be a 30 foot by 20 foot giant

Ange certainly got this wrong , but Burns looked good when he got out there , it was almost like at times that the above 3 had no faith in McLaren

Kindly use the spoiler tags in future when commenting on live matches as some people like Mr CB have IQed the match to watch at a later date…thank you...

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Nah it's OK, if you can't watch the game live it's virtually impossible to avoid the scoreline unless you go on a social media ban.

 

[eyewonder]

when berisha becomes an aussie,he can't be referred to as the albanian striker any more by the fox commentators.

the commentary is always good,but the constant reference to berisha being albanian,broich the german playmaker,the spaniard,the brazilian etc does wear a bit thin.

but berisha can score goals,which is an ongoing issue for the socceroos.

tiger_one selects Chelsea pls.

And Mrs tiger_one also selects Chelsea pls.

 

[WestsBenTigers]

I watched the game and we played real bad.

Not as bad as austral in the cricket but still bad.

I got up to watch it and was embarrassed that we were getting smashed by Thailand.
Like low down on the FIFa ranks do you want your opponent.

Nathan Burns provided some much needed energy.
He was unlucky to hit the crossbar
Had the shot been an inch lower we would've won, but that's soccer

Our 2 goals were from penalties.
And we all know how rare penalties are (especially in internationals)
We were lucky to score our 2nd penalty
