Australian National Team Thread - #PopaOut!

2x crosses in a row from Duke.

I legit cannot see the ball in flight.

Back to the early days of streaming where you can barely tell the players apart.

Clearly not, 170 million people and there 8,000 capacity stadium looks about half full.

Not even 8000 without temporary seating seemingly.

India are playing later tonight at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. Be interesting to see the crowd there.

Like all subcontinent countries, football is down the list behind cricket and field hockey. Being completely rubbish at the sport doesn’t help.

Quality isn’t helped by the heaviness of this pitch which I’m fairly sure is just mud with green paint sprayed on top.

The goalkeeper’s moustache kinda makes me want us to win by ten.

Seeing all the Bangladesh “fans” in the cricket jersey reminds me of supporting the roos back in the day. You’d always have jokers rocking up to games in Wallabies shirts and what have you.
Shit, i remember at the fucking world cup game against Japan in '06 some dickhead was wearing a Sydney Swans strip

So long as there was at least one random Souths jersey.

That kid up front just breezed past Souttar. Pity the pass out wide didnt come off for him.

It might just be the shitty video, but did Hrustics shot look like it was going a mile wide before it was deflected in?

It was

I was in a backwater village a couple of hours out of Moyale in Ethiopia and couldnt beleive my eyes when I saw a bloke in a rabbitohs jersey. I had to get a pic with him. He was perplexed why but honoured.

Our heading of the ball has been remarkably poor. Yengi had two shit ones early on and since then Duke and Souttar have been trying there best prove they can be even shitter

Was he a local? Or from Zetland?

Ethiopian fella.

Well, that’s kinda awesome!

Love it.

I used to find the whole ‘random South jersey’ thing cringe, but now I love it. A bit of Aussie comedy that nobody outside NSW understands.

Does anyone happen to have a streaming link?

I’m in Greece & wouldn’t mind watching the second half of this match whilst I hide inside from the heat.
