Kind of like Afghanistan in cricket

I actually quite like the socceroos but it’s pretty cute seeing these buffoons chirp on in this thread. When noted England fan Furball discredits an attempt to get one over England, it’s time to give up the ghost.

It's no attempt. We flogged you. As long as we don't talk about any games we've played since then, we're rock solid.

Ha, they wish.

Afghanistan are ranked 10th in T20Is, the Socceroos are 38th.

They're like the Guernsey of football.

Son of a friend was in the U15s for Asian Cup and in U17s for World Cup until suffering a knee injury which ruled him out for a year

Came back at an in between age and played u20s (?) for an A league team and in senior squad

Now in US at a Div 1 College on a full scholarship for 4 years

Highly unlikely that he plays pro football in Australia again as he missed his window and soccer became a means for him to get a top degree for free

Alternative was playing for no real money here & HECS bill for dentistry

I once watched an interview with Martin Gorrie, an Australian soccer player who got a scholarship to the University of Albany. He played in the NCAA Division 1 program and was there for four years. He talks about how he got his scholarship, what life was like in American college, and other issues related to college soccer. If interested, he can be found on YouTube

Just watched it

My friend’s son went through an agent who is affiliated with one of his former clubs

It’s not a cheap process

Told his Dad that Div 1 standard is between state league & A League

Guy from his team was signed by Eredivisie club last season but general path is to MLS if good enough

Facilities are top class plus school is good academically & don’t just want jocks

Lets go lads, time to stumble in the 88th minute again. really hoping we don't play for a 0-0, that's a recipe for going out 4-1

Refs giving yellow cards for yellow card offences early in the game has been another welcome change this World Cup.

 

[ripper868]

well, glad i didnt stop what i was doing entirely to watch either of these thus far. hopefully more fun to come in the next 45....have a horrible feeling Tunisia are going to poach a goal and Aus/Den are going to have a bore draw...would see Tunis through on GD

Socceroos doing okay

Denmark is generally a lot more skilled but lack a cutting edge so far and could be vulnerable on break

1 goal either way wouldn’t surprise but Australia will probably concede another if they are forced to chase game

 

[Uppercut]

Eriksen is such a beautiful footballer. Looking pretty good for Australia though.

 

[Burgey]

You just know the dirty Frogs will throw it vs Tunisia

 

[ripper868]

Called it. Aus/Den need a goal now then. which works better for Den tbh.

 

[Niall]

If scores stay the same, Forfana and Varane should be banned from entering Australia IMO.

 

[ripper868]

LEckieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[ripper868]

**** me dead he's done well there. Get 2 more lads, stick it up em.

 

[Xuhaib]

What a goal

 

[Uppercut]

Ahaha that's the stuff.

 

[MW1304]

Wonder if they just heard about the other score. Good timing.
