Australian Soccer Thread (A-League/FFA Cup/Socceroos/Matildas) (Part 1)

I must have missed something along the way, but does anyone know why the Socceroos qualifier v Japan tonight is on Channel 9?

This game has huge coverage here in Tokyo. Some channels already in pre game mode. No idea what they are saying though. It’s something something something Cahill.

its on their HD channel i think. I think they did some deal with either Fox sports or the FFA to televise the national games and SBS gets i think one A league game a week. Would of cost a fair amount of cash thats for sure.

Should be an awesome game tonight, a win here would be massive boost to finishing top in our group

I don’t think Cahill will start though, he hasn’t played a hell of a lot in the lead in. Would expect him to come on around the 70min mark.

Do Japan still have that deadly free kick specialist in their team? He used to/maybe still does play for Celtic

Damn: also had a look at their team sheet and they have Okazaki from Leicester and Kagawa from Manu and is now at dortmund

Thanks Robbo.

Was very surprised, just assumed it was on as usual and couldn’t find anything official. Shame, coverage is usually shithouse when not on SBS.

Still looking forward to the game though, wish I could get in to see it at the ground. Should be a cracker and makes a big change from some of the ordinary teams that can come up during the qualifiers.

Disgraceful

Jeepers -nearly 2 down.

FMD.

How do people manage to watch anything in non HD? This is torture.

Has been a horrendous performance so far, hopefully the goal settles is a little. Need a genuine winger

Great save to keep it level

Finishes 1-1
Disappointing result but better than it was looking at HT

At halftime i would of happily taken a draw. Some of our passing was awful.

Agree with your post above, we really need a genuine winger

Was the pen there?

Was the pen there?

yep. I was on the treadmill at the gym watching it and when it happened out stretched my hands and went “PEN?!?!”. Scared the hell out of the chick next to me.

What a goal from Cahill!

Surely we can afford a real keeper.

This. So much this.

Worst half by mv ever. Absolute ■■■■■. (great goal by timmy).

■■■■ them. Should have ditched the membership this year, waste of $500

Yikes
