Australian Soccer Thread (A-League/FFA Cup/Socceroos/Matildas) (Part 2)

Good times. Sick of traffic on the way to work

i feel stupid saying this but i reckon a bit of classic australian soccer is in order here - a few inshallah long balls just to stretch them a bit. open play counters just aren’t going to happen

Sydney people are shocked the game wasn’t delivered on a silver platter

The Poms have been working hard to exploit Hunt and Carpenter on the right hand side.

This been a poor half

Looks like we’ve had our GF already. No way we’re coming back the way we’re playing

Any positives?

Nope

Plenty of time to play out.

Lots of options on the subs

Hope you’re right

Using Cooney-Cross
. Good plan

Only 1 player puts pressure and tries to close down space on Englands back

Fowlers balance on the ball is :fire:

They need one

Not getting any continuity on the ball, and Fowler is being held to largely stationary touches. Still created a few half chances.

England’s press and defense is better than ours. Those rough tackles early on have gotten into the aus players heads and they feel more pressured then they are

How many football fans are in the crowd and how many are just big event content opportunists? Just no atmosphere.
