Looks like he’s playing a more centrally this game.

Memeti seemed a bit too keen to impress, but good persistence there for the goal.

Good drive from Quintal too considering he got fouled about three times.

Kuai Jiwen reminds me of someone I cant think of when he’s dribbling. Annoying!

Try thinking of who it is when Jiwen isn’t dribbling, that might help.

Good to see Aus finish top of group, last time in an equivalent age bracket was the 2012 U19 tournament (ultimately lost in Semis to Iraq)

Semis appearance gets us to the world cup right?

Yep top 4 from Asia qualify for the 24 team U20 WC in Chile (late Sept to Late Oct)

Saudi bet NK 2-1 to finish top.
Iraq drew 0-0 with Jordan despite Jordan having better of stats to finish 2nd.

So Aus v Iraq in the quarters.

Cracking equalise off a long free kick
1-1 at 23

Ugly.
Back to 2-1 Iraq.

SFC on big screen, u20s on tablet.

Nice to see the Iraqis have learnt the art of time wasting at an early age, that guy just went full Neymar.

Oh yeah, old mate rolling half the pitch, then asking if the Australian got a yellow before getting up with a thumbs up…

Absolute cracker!

Bet the midfield simulation from Iraq stops now…

Need to keep on the front foot here. Could score more if they keep the momentum.

And we’re through!
