ASIA Cup 2015

[DaVillaBlues]

Agree TL with playing qualifying games in different venues around the country, but not playing one of the semi's or the final in the sporting capital of Australia well its just dumb.

It's not just that, but not having any Asian Cup games in Adelaide or Perth,2 cities with large, passionate A League fanbases was just stupid and unfair, although I approve of games in Canberra, crowds up there were terrific

I agree with what you say re the fans in those States. Adelaide does not make sense but I think the time difference and distance would have made Perth challenging logistically.

South Korea through to the final, as expected. Here's hoping the Socceroos will be joining them tonight.

 

[HBF]

Big night on the couch tonight. Go Socceroos.

Can't wait! Really looking forward to it and hoping we can get through to the final!

Reading the TV Guide in the Herald Sun and the shows to watch tonight -

Asian Cup: 8PM Australia v UAE, live from the glamorous Newcastle Stadium.

Glamorous, is he taking the piss?

[HBF]

Pretty wet in Newcastle tonight.

Its actually just had a facelift and is probably the best stadium north of the border. The problem is that it will be half empty.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the ground.

 

[HBF]

Getting really nervous now.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Promising start.

If Australia win Sydney would want to attract 80K plus to the final! It would get that and some if it was at the G!

We need one more to put it beyond doubt!!

 

[Jeremias]

Took the foot right off the pedal in that second half but it doesn't matter....we've made it through to the final.

Massive game on Saturday night against South Korea in what will be our toughest task yet. We're a big chance but it won't be easy and we'll need to be at the top of our game from the first whistle.

 

[Jatz]

We're getting a whole lot of rain this week so even if it's not raining on the night, the pitch will be pretty heavy.

Who do you think this favours?

 

[Jatz]

I'm not sure it does us too many favours. Out of the two sides, we were more likely to play football.

Having said that, there's been minimal rain over the last 2 days which should help!

 

[GoBlues!]

Massimo Luongoooaaal!!!!!!

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Its surreal thinking that Mass Luongo plays in the third tier of English football

He won't be for too much longer.

Tottenham will be kicking themselves.

 

[JamisonRun40]

I have been switching between the tennis and Asia Cup. Glad we are 1 goal up.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Kruze injuried and Cahill subbed off.
Also Ivan subbed off.

 

[Bluella]

Extra time!

 

[HBF]

What a result.
That 30 minutes of extra time as so bloody tense.

Don't think Luongo will be playing 3rd tier football past the Summer transfer period.

 

[GoBlues!]

What a game, so many ebbs and flows.

That goal by Luongo was just brilliant and all class, such control and beautiful strike of the ball.

Then in the second half South Korea squandered about 3 chances in front of goal.

The piss poor referee giving some bad decisions and yellow cards to Australia made it tougher. Players coming off injured.

Then the equalizer 2 mins before full time and I thought this will go to penalties and we'll get done.

Then somehow in extra time Juric beats 2 players sets up Troisi to score the winning goal, and our living room went into hysterics.

A lot to like with this young team and how Ange is managing them.

Greeks do it BEST

That's right folks Troisi is Greek!
