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

Norway should have had 2 red cards in the last 2 minutes.

Sam Kerr continues her dog of a night by missing her penalty.

This has been a weird game; we’ve been extremely lucky and yet unlucky at the same time.

This was probably Australia’s best football team we’ve ever had (men and women included)… and they have been poorly coached.

Complete Waste of a tournament. Never looked like a cohesive unit… just a team of individuals.

I’ve been watching them continuously over the last 3-4 years, and this is the worst they have played. Seriously should haven’t gotten to the final 4.

Just finished the replay, pretty exciting moments, a few wtfs.

England should advance from that quarter of the draw no problems.

Disappointing showing from the Tildas.

Norway were pretty bluddy good really, tight in defence, and held Kerr all game, but our girls had their chances, and just seemed full of nerves at the moments that mattered, (which has really been a bit of a theme for them the whole tournament, even against Jamaica until they got to 2 up), … all the way through to Sams first penalty hit, … that was fkn extraordinary to see that happen. Probably never will again.

Totally bummed, but it just wasn’t to be this time around.

Well when the coach is removed in mysterious circumstances four months before the World Cup then you are asking for trouble - Football Australia have failed !

You’d wanna convert your pen when just a few days earlier you’re telling the critics to suck it

Kerr slipped.

You don’t get that much air on a spot kick

Western United sign Diamante, slowly putting together a decent 1st squad

Victory sign Kruse and Nabbout.

Front half of Toivenen, Kruse and Nabbout with Troisi sitting in at 10 behind them. With a marquee and 2 visa spots to still sign.

Come at us.

Not bad at all! Any word on who the marquee signing could be?

Adrian Mierzejewski, hates it in China and Sydney spent all their money on Kosta and Brattan and can’t afford to get him back.

Id suggest the other visa spot would be a big ■■■■■■■ European CB.

A front 3 of Nabbout, Toivonen and Kruse in the A league is probably as good as it gets for this competition

Was always going to happen, Kurtz was never going to go there unless he had an open chequebook

Still with a maquee and two visa spots. He has got alot of playing room.
