U20 Asian Cup starts tomorrow. We open the tournament against Kyrgyzstan. Quintal & Hoefsloot in the squad. We could really use a centre-half or two to step up and shine in this tournament.

I count Agosti as one of ours too.

Is it safe to assume Dean Bosnjak is related to the family who owned Westbus for ages?

Didn’t show up on my tv till the SFC game finished.
Anyhow a decent 5-1 start.

He’s looking the most likely to produce something so far too.

Well that was just like watching Sydney.
Terrible turnover in the middle. Left fullback way up field, their winger absolutely burns the centre-half and the right fullback lets his man just run in free for the finish.

Couple of nice moments from Badolato & Quintal look the best in attack.
Okon looks either off the pace completely or out of his depth. The best progression has been from the centre-halves playing into the forward line so far.

Quite a nice 10k seater. Weird that all the seats are so high from the field.

Yeah a bit odd. Maybe built up so there are facilities under the stands?

So many moustaches from the Qataris. A far superior trend than mullets, faux mullets, or broccoli head.

Quintal off at 61 minutes. Key pass, assist, and some nice possessions.

Massively on top now. Great finish from Bennie.
Could be losing 4-3 at this point. Some very lucky escapes.

Yup one of those games. Mostly dominant but they’ve had enough good chances to take a point at least.
Toure & Bennie have been good since they’ve come on. Deli really grew into the game.

And through Group A alongside China with China beating Kyrgyzstan 5-2.
Group A and B cross over in the next round, and Group B is still tight

Looked him up the other day but couldn’t find much about how he’s getting on over in Italy.
