World Cup 2022 ⚽

[Jeremias]

Massive game tonight.

Lose and we go home. Win and we keep the dream alive.

Bring and sustain the intent from the first 15 mins against France and we can get a positive result.

Mabil should start. Kuol to come off the bench.

I’d start Leckie up front.

Tunisia should put us out of our misery tonight.
Talent wise, we are one of the bottom 4 nations at this world cup and there is no point pretending otherwise.

I just want no injuries to the Melbourne City boys, already focused on the resumption of our national league.

On a side note how pathetic was Simon Hill's swipe at Pete 'The Pirate' Fitzsimmons (who is somewhat of a national icon, if not true)

Hill wasn't even born here, he has no ideal about the general Aussie Spirit and fighting qualities, he is one of those precious and hysterical soccer commentators that really annoy me

Craig Foster is much much better.

Of course you're right, but Tunisia are beatable.

It's #35 v #42.

Need our young blokes to step up!

Mabil and Kuol must start.

Arnold is so conservative.....

 

[myblueroan]

Struggling to see how our uniform relates to australia in anyway.
Having said that, I like those colours way better than the usual.nice attacking play so far.

Tunisia seem to have better positioning.

 

[myblueroan]

Goal!!!!
Ole!!!

 

[Wickzki]

Finally a cross that was lower. Good. No air ball crossed.

 

[myblueroan]

Bloody hec!

 

[myblueroan]

This is frustrating to watch.
Hope we go on the attack again soon

 

[myblueroan]

Arnie playing it safe once again.
Leckie should be off ffs.

 

[myblueroan]

Let's attack for last 10 minutes.
Camonnnn!!!

 

[myblueroan]

2nd goal...make it happen.

 

[myblueroan]

Thank God for our goal keeper

 

[myblueroan]

Phew.
That was exhausting.

 

[Arr0w]

Never in doubt

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Hey, that was alright!!

Did it in Navy Blue, too.

 

[Wickzki]

Mooy and Souttar absolute legends.

Beautiful defensive effort in the last ten minutes

 

[Wickzki]

Hey, that was alright!!

Did it in Navy Blue, too.

Everyone's better in navy blue!

Look better too!

 

[BlueGum]

Goalkeep earned his bucks

 

[Wickzki]

Thank God for our goal keeper

Thought Mat Ryan looked cooked against France.

He was immense tonight

 

[Wickzki]

Wow Graeme Arnold first Australian born manager to ever win a World Cup mqtch with Australia.

 

[Jeremias]

* yeah. Great result.

Never ever underestimate how big a win at the World Cup is.

Tired badly towards the end. Souttar enormous - he’s a star.

Bring on Denmark. We’re a real shot at making it through now.

[Wickzki]

Seemed to be acceptance / common (casual) thought.

Squad has some real heart for what really is a transition phase for Aussie soccer

 

[Wickzki]

Good result that France Vs Denmark game.

Draw or win and we're in.

Watched mini of FR v Vikings.
I learnt that players are idolised over team effort just like in AFL.
Difference is the players also can be self absorbed to an ugly extent.

Whereas we would thank our team mates and celebrate with them after a goal, you get the talented Mbappe who takes a minute to celebrate how great he is with the crowd. Doesn't thank his team mate who gave him an incredibly good pass so he could score.

Really enjoyed the female commentator too. Very natural and not trying to sound like a bloke. Refreshing.
Next stop
Push back the Viking attack.
