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

That’s hilarious.
We have done quite a bit of travel in the region and the Stan’s should be high on many peoples bucket list. It’s a stunning region and although it requires a fair bit of planning it’s fairly inexpensive

A mate did Kyrgyzstan when the socceroos played a WCQ there. Said great things about it.

2 wanker clubs in the grand final, thanks newcastle. Bottled it again

Surprising, thought he did well after a very slow start.

So I’m not a football(soccer) head. But I’m really hoping the World Cup gets us through this miserable winter.

Any football head blitzers wanna start the World Cup thread?

Think our first game is June 14 vs Türkiye.

How good is this bloke gonna be?

The Italians are probably saying, “Who?”, but with Riley McGree ruled out, he could be a good addition.

Toure Irankunda & Volpato is definitely a more exciting attacking trio than we have had for a while.

Do we have much chance of making it out of our group at the WC? Most of our international play of late has been pretty disappointing no?

Easier to get out of the group now with 3rd place going through

One loss in our last 12.
I do think we can get out of the group

Id be disappointed if we did. Most of the 3rd place teams get through now.

We have every chance of making it out of our group, but also every chance of not getting a point. Lots to play for. The group has no outstanding team.

I think we are every chance at getting out of the group

Gaining at least a point in the first game against turkey is absolutely vital.we lose that then we are in all sorts of trouble

USA at home will be very tough to beat. Anything from the game would be a massive bonus

Paraguay will also be tough, but we should be able to hopefully get at least a point

Mexicans currently having absolutely none of poppaball
