Socceroos and Australian Football

[Nate]

Southern Sydney looking like it will go ahead, then.

Ugly but at least it's a win

 

[Nate]

I love Ange, but hate the formation. 4-3-3 plz.

 

[Nate]

Amazing atmosphere at Allianz tonight. What a team!

 

[Nate]

Can't wait for the Grand Final! Hnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg

 

[Ausage]

Never know how to feel when a game like that ends in penalties. Great save from Vukovic though.

Kind of wanted to see Sydney lose for the lels but there's no doubt the right team won the title.

 

[Nate]

What a bloody game. I'm exhausted. Most incredible atmosphere I've ever experienced.

1 lyk = 1 pryr for me at work tomorrow.

You gotta get out more if this is true.

You gotta get out more if this is true.

I know it's easy to be cynical, but it's true. The noise after Grant scored was so loud that my ears were ringing and I couldn't hear for moments afterwards.

No doubt there are bigger games out there, but I've been to AFL and NRL Grand Finals, Tennis Finals, derbies, etc etc etc, and I've never felt anything like that before. Struggling to put it into words.

 

[Nate]

And now Ninkovic re-signs! What a week.

 

[Nate]

New Sydney FC badge will do.

New Sydney FC badge will do.

Meh. Kind of liked the old one better but it's not a disaster.

I just don't understand this obsession with sporting clubs changing their logo every other decade. What's wrong with building tradition over several generations? It's worse in league with the loads of different jerseys every year.

 

[Nate]

Some of the A-League ones are very dated though. I'm for this change, but Brisbane Roar (for example) can't seem to get it right.

Saturday Night games on Ten next season. Yus.

Really good move. Union in Aus is a good case study on what can happen to a sport without a fta profile. Saturday a relative dead zone for fta sport too in the northern states at least.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah, it's a top move by the A League.

 

[Nate]

Massive game tonight! Nervous af. Can't say I'm a fan of 3ATB.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Australia were woeful in the first half. Incredibly lucky to be even really, just two excellent finishes keeping them in it.

Better since half time though.

 

[Nate]

Awful game all over.

We won and at least it wasnt turgid ****

Cant see us drawing with the Japanese (let alone beating them) though
