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

This is now 3 times out of our last 4 World Cups, we’ve gone there with a new coach.

It’s f*cking dissapointing

Not too many teams where that isn’t the case TBH. (Germany exepted.)

This whole var thing is a joke. And you have incompetent refs deciding the whole thing as well.

Fk off

So apparently Peru could be booted form the world cup?

Any Inca-ling why?

Or is it because Inca Cola is yellow, not like other colas.

I’ll have to Peru’s the reasons why.

Lol. Italy are already claiming that they’re in.

So are the USA. Should give it to the Kiwis for the lols, although the have a good a claim as the others.

Can’t see it happening TBH.
Peru will go to Russia

Straight swap - Sam Kerr for Robbie Kruse in the Russia squad. Would be a major upgrade in skill, goal scoring nous and toughness

What is everyone thinking about who will be in our group?

I would like something similar to Poland, England, Denmark.

I reckon we will get either Germany/Brazil or France, Uruguay and Iran.*

  • Not sure if we can draw another Asian opponent though in which case I think the Swedes might be our other nation to play.

If we play any of Spain/Germany/Brazil/France we’ll probably get flogged.

We can’t play another Asian team.

We can get out of that group

Will be interesting seeing which of Panama or Tunisia get through in group G.

Some traditional rivals in Group B - Spain and Portugal, Spain and Morocco

Looks a great draw, very even distribution across the groups.

Uruguay would be happiest.

I think France, Peru and Denmark would be happiest
