Toure needs starts. Beast.

Into minute four of seven minutes' second half stoppage time. Socceroos within touching distance of qualifying for the World Cup now.

Oh no some bloke pulled the net down!

Toure needs starts. Beast.

He doesn't seem too match fit.maybe it's just the environment.

Toure needs starts. Beast.

another season in Denmark and he will be good to go for the WC.

 

[hogie]

Done it!!

 

[NoMates]

Awesome!!!!

Hill, pro until the end. Surely we get him from time to time as a guest.

Full time in Jeddah, it ends 2-1 in favour of the Socceroos. We've qualified for the 2026 World Cup.

We did it!! what a rollercoaster campaign with Popovic stabilising it. Excellent effort. New kit bringing good fortune?

 

[JM47]

Job done!

 

[CharlieYankosFanClub]

Well.. very comfortable qualification in the end!
6 points and 10 GD clear of 3rd..
19 points from the 10 games including 4 against Japan.

How good did toure look? A bit raw with a couple of his passes but a real breath of fresh air

Yeah he was decent. The physical aspects added a lot. A shame his initial cross was blocked. Should be in squad all the time.

If they stay injury free, Toure and Circati both going to be very good by the time of the WC ...
We need a couple more developing players to join them by having a great 2025-26 season...

 

[JS96]

What a mixed campaign. Bahrain's only win in Australia. 4 points against Japan. Could've lost to Saudi at home. Beating China both times was vital.

 

[JS96]

Oh gawd. Oman with a penalty at the absolute death to draw with Palestine and take themselves into the next round.

Iraq 1 Jordan 0. Arnold surely goes into the next round.

Burgess souttar and ryan have crucial seasons too especially since they probably all need a move
