Socceroos World Cup Qualifiers Third Round - Australia V China/Vietnam

[AJ_2000]

Wow the pregame on channel 10 is woeful. Reminds me of when 9 or 7 surprisingly end up be with the rights and they get randoms to host the coverage

 

[peternorth]

Must win

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Shame Boyle is out but not surprised - we should win this easily if we play like the other night.

For all our possesion, Vietnam with the first big chance

Nice start nearly unravelled by an error at the back

 

[juss]

We always seem to struggle to generate shots on goal and clear chances, would like to see test the keeper a bit more early even with some shots from distance.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Poor first 15 minutes. Doesn’t help the pitch is a cow paddock.

 

[gaskin]

Good decision from the ref. That was no pen for me.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Amazing, sensible refereeing

 

[Skeppersap]

that refereeing was excellent, as opposed by Australia's ability to attack, which is abysmal!

 

[gaskin]

McGree needs to stop trying to do too much around the box. More than once he has given it away after being crowded out trying to take on 5 defenders instead of playing a simple 5m pass back.

 

[Zidane98]

This pitch wouldn't be fit for a metro division 6 match.

 

[juss]

Going to bed lol, 0 shots on target, not much happening for us is pretty disappointing against Vietnam.

 

[AJ_2000]

And Rogic not trying to shoot everytime he gets the ball, not matter the distance

 

[Hawks1994]

Vietnam setting up their defense well so far, but we always struggle to simply gets shots at goal against the weak nations

 

[gaskin]

GRANT!!!

* we needed that.

Too soon ....

 

[juss]

Thank God! Now I'm going to bed.

 

[Zidane98]

The Aussie Bogan scores.

 

[Hawks1994]

There we go! Quicker movement, repeated balls into dangerous places and weaker players panic

Lovely ball from Hrustic

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Thank god for that, tough to break down but tremendous ball by Hrustic.

 

[Zidane98]

Look at how dodgy the bounce is! Probably helped Grant.

 

[gaskin]

That ball from Hrustic

 

[jhong]

Smith is clogging up the left side of our attack . Some rather comical attempts to dribble through a packed defence and that yet 1-0 up . Some of the passing is over ambitious as well . Leave here with 3 points should be the only ambition .

 

[corbies]

Our front 4 have been horrific. Rogic seems to have alot more bad games for the Socceroos than he does good games.

I still maintain that Grant is incredibly under-rated on this board for his (former) haircut and the team he plays for.
