Matilda's getting touched up by Canada atm. 5.0 down at 75 minutes.

Fielded a second rate squad by the looks of it.

AU finally wins.3:1

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

AU finally wins.3:1

Needed that badly after a run of losses.

Needed that badly after a run of losses.

The defense still looks vulnerable. I enjoyed Ansell's game though. We also missed heaps of scoring chance. Irankunda lifts the team with his runs.

Not a real quote but haha

AU up 3:1 at half time. The Japanese No9 Ibusuki man of the match in the first half.
AU outplayed massively in the first period but have gain the ascendancy through some good play. Our defense still looks suspect.

After poor start & going behind, good response from the team.

Our 3 up forward have been more clinical tonight.

Hopefully can bring home all the points.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ps. Why are Sydney not the sky blues tonight?

Trying to psych us out thinking we are playing Victory lol.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Last few minutes killing me.

Surely, we can hang on.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Got the full points in the end... but they gave us a fright.

Nice to win after losing 1-5 to them last game.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Clearly more Indians living in Qatar than Australians!

 

[Eagleboy2011]

You don't see too many female referees in major Men's soccer. Good on the AFC and in Qatar.

 

[Cap]

Really unimpressive start

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Martin Boyle uses a lot of Brylcreem. His hair is shining.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Really unimpressive start

Better start to 2nd half.

 

[Cap]

Better start to 2nd half.

Feel for the keeper, but nice to finally get one

 

[Cap]

2-0 15m to go.

Unconvincing but winning

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

2-0 15m to go.

Unconvincing but winning

Just as well we have the international thread to keep us entertained...

All Soccer fans know this guy.



Roma sacked Jose Mourinho

He certainly has a few club shirts in his wardrobe.

Always loved this show

Why Roma sacked Jose Mourinho, and why he still splits opinion

And so Jose Mourinho is gone, sacked by Roma. Once again in his third season. Once again, under a cloud. Once again, with opinion divided.
