World Cup Qualification Thread for 2026 - Socceroos/Asia

[Mr Cleansheets]

Now to settle back and watch the budget speech to really get me in the mood for football.

I finish teaching at 11:45 and then it's anthems an kick offs. Done for the day too so I can have a beer.

I need to do some final lesson prep for tomorrow and if we don't win it'll feel really bitter. Time to deliver again. Think Goodwin will score.

Quite impressed with the budget speech.

More importantly, only two hours to kickoff.

Ready for bombshells. He's either starting or not in the squad. Irvine proving his worth but I wonder about the risk and reward of interesting him for the final 30.

Hopefully we can get the job tonight, ideally we get help from Japan against Saudi Arabia too but it’s no guarantee but as long we a step closer towards auto qualification then it’s good.

Albanese funding perry park?

Yes, that was very clearly stated.

Patrick Croke oval at Kincumber will also be turned into a 35,000 seat stadium... which will deeply disappoint those who currently bring their dogs there to shit.

Speaking of penalties, I'm pretty worried about home town decisions tonight - for all sorts of reasons.

However, given the desperately (recklessly) passionate way the Chinese can go about the game, I wouldn't be surprised to see them cop another red card. Of course, it would be a brave ref to do so.

The Chinese fans are just as likely to get on the backs of their own team as they on the ref or us. They are thoroughly fed up with the corruption and underperformance of Chinese football.

[grazorblade]

only 3 rotations this time, surprising!

 

[SteveC]

No Triantis even on the bench…

 

[Quicky]

No Triantis. Get stuffed.

 

[JS96]

Popovic chip on shoulder confirmed. He's trolling Balard and Triantis. FFS 'it's not what we're looking for'.

 

[JS96]

You could argue Boyle is fortunate to be picked too. Hope Degenek kills it.
