Socceroos and Australian Football

[Nate]

So excited for the season new!

 

[Nate]

Victory have been so ***y. Dammit.

 

[Spikey]

Shock me, Sydney FC get first game of Villa

and it's their home game too. jeez

 

[Nate]

Was a pretty fantastic first round. Sydney Derby this weekend!

 

[Nate]

Do yourself a favour and watch the Sydney Derby tonight

 

[Burgey]

**** it had everything. Wouldn't say it was the best quality game but plenty of drama.

Horrible missed off side call for the second Sydney FC goal.

 

[Nate]

Melbourne Derby this weekend too Another sell-out!

 

[social]

Great stuff from Wanderers and their fans

 

[Burgey]

It's almost ridiculous to think a team can be in a CL final less than three years into its existence. Popovic must be some kind of coach.

 

[Burgey]

Let alone win it...

Who do we sing for?

Gotta be the best story in Aussie sport in years. Popovic is a genius. Man, that one handed Covic save was ridiculous. What a game he had.

 

[social]

Good to see the locals maintaining the tradition of good sportsmanship in that part of the world

Couple of dodgy penalty calls but **** 'em

 

[Nate]

Incredible.

 

[Burgey]

Popa will have to be snaffled by a Euro club won't he? The bloke is a genius.

Get him to Europe, give him a middling club in a decent league (Liverpool or Man United )He'll get the best from them, then come home and coach the Socceroos to a WC win with a side full of under 21 debutants.

don't know how spiranovic didnt belt that **** that spat on him at the end there, what a disgrace

 

[the big bambino]

2 penalties not called (its been a lucky 24 hours for Aussie teams) but, yeah, after the lasers, thrown shoes, spitting and head butting I'm not too sorry for Al Hilal.

 

[Jono]

don't know how spiranovic didnt belt that **** that spat on him at the end there, what a disgrace

****ing pathetic act. Honestly what a ****ty football team, they can **** right off. So glad they lost.

 

[duffer]

Ugh, Westies winning things.

 

[Nate]

A minute's silence before all games this weekend, and also a minute's applause in the 63rd minute (which I had the honour of organising) for the great man.

Get amongst it.

 

[duffer]

Just watched it. "Phillip Hughes, forever 63 not out"

Nice one.

 

[Nate]

Fantastic response from AAMI, got tears. Looking forward (if those are the right words) to similar in the rest of the round.
