Knew we’d be facing Japan as our national teams aren’t allowed to ever play Iran!

YTB 🎉

Hall was unbelievable for someone who isn’t playing regularly!

Absolute scenes 🎉 Trevor Morgan has done a fantastic job. The Young Socceroos are so great to watch. He’d be a great shout for next Roos manager.

Looks like one of their players got a red card in the match tonight. Hopefully he was one of their good players.

Iraq it is.

Saturday is looking fun. 4 back-to-back A-League games which lead into this U20 WCQ playoff at 10:30pm 😍

Super happy with the rotation. Need our best players rested for the WCQ quarter final. Surely still a strong enough side to see out a draw at the minimum.

@Decentric I’m super keen to read your analysis on De Jesus next time you get a chance to watch Sydney FC play. De Jesus is our only U20-eligible ‘true RB’ option getting game time at A-League level. Twitter seems split on their opinions of him.

China score again. 4-2 with 10 mins to go.

Oh sorry you meant a draw between us and China.

Not if China beat us.

So if China beat Kyrg, we need them to not win by as much as we did, so that a draw with China keeps us top of the group. They’re currently up 3-1 with 30 mins to go.

Love that 2006 has overtaken 2002 👏

That’s helped put my mind at ease. Ty.

I can’t remember who said it during the last game but I 100% agree with them that Bennie looks like a Brett Emerton regen. Strong, stocky, powerful, and equally adept at both RB & RM. English football feels kind of perfect for Bennie.

The Wikipedia page for the tournament says we do face Group B?

Outfield players to have not appeared at all yet: Herrington (CB) Randazzo (Winger) Memeti (Striker)

Especially being at home.
