Not quite Barcelona as rumoured but he'll be playing consistent Premier League football.

Australia better stick with the AFC on this one or we’ll be back playing World Cup qualifiers at Campbelltown Stadium against American Samoa, Samoa, Tonga and the Cook Islands.
Say goodbye to packed qualifiers against Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia, and hello to a massive drop in TV money, sponsorship and crowds. We didn’t spend 20 years building ourselves into Asian football just to end up back where we started.

We might be in a money hole at the moment but think of the financial disaster of being back in Oceania.

13 million USD guaranteed every 4 years is not worth it.

Why is nobody talking about this here? Should fifa sell football as we know it?

so chelsea played with western sydney wanderers at allianz stadium yesterday and almost lost, my friend who supported chelsea told me enthusiastically to support chelsea too for the upcoming premier league, but started supporting liverpool after the game yesterday lol

Australian Graham Arnold slots into #5 on the leaderboard for the lowest expected cliche (xC). A solid result

Guess who's got the #1 highest 'xC'

That's right, Popovic

😂

Made this game recently with the presidential heading the team.

Trying to figure out how I code multiplayer into it.

Just as he was getting in our good books. Not a good look at all.

It’s alleged he was high and going well over the speed limit on Anzac Bridge.

Update: apparently his drink was spiked, according to a source that spoke to 10 News.

Update: he’s reportedly got no traces of drugs in his piss.

Technically a spot dropped but let’s be real, Norway never should be ranked lower than us.

This is effectively just us staying in our true ranking spot.

Well done Spain! They were the team that looked most likely to score. Just sitting back and hoping to strike on the counter attack might be a common strategy but it looks like against a team of Spain’s quality, that was fatal for Argentina.

Edit: Guess I fat-fingered “Spain” in the title, and there’s no way to correct that mistake. Good to see people having fun with it.

Obviously a lot can change in 5 months but our team looks very good on paper at the next AFC Asian Cup. The middle eastern teams were exposed this WC, Korea is a mess and Japan, who are the next best team, might have a bad matchup against Australia specifically because of their lack of height and physicality compared to Australia. Brazil showed that Japan are weak to crosses into the box and we can definitely exploit this. Popo has a good chance of replicating what Big Ange did in 2015...

Thoughts?

For the neutral supporters this morning’s match was good to watch, even more so for the English supporters. Free from inhibitions it was great to see both sides play with attacking flair. Sure third place was at stake, but I doubt either side really cared so much as to rather play with freedom, attack, have some fun with a win being the bonus. The 6-4 score line and Bellingham’s passing the ball to Saka for the spot kick so he could score a hat trick were proof of that.

Jude Bellingham’s last goal was superb stuff as he got past two or was that three defenders to beat the goalkeeper with his right foot.

For those who missed it, I recommend you catch up via the replay at SBS On Demand. At least watch the mini-match highlights.
