Round 2 - Auckland v Sydney 27/10/2024

Meant to make this on Wednesday but got sidetracked.

Bit of a manufactured rivalry with Stevie C at the helm. I’m sure the telecast will play that up nonstop. Plenty of ear bleeding Harperisms to go with it.

Auckland looked decent in their first hit out.

Will be interesting to see if Costa plays off the bench or is rested as he came off early midweek due to a tight hammy.

It’s the end of a big round week trip for the squad, including a high-tempo game in Japan. I wouldn’t be surprised if the performance is a bit flat and we go home with a 1-1 draw.

I feel the same, not too concerned if we don’t look that great. And if we look decent I am going to continue the overt optimism.

It’ll be the endearingly one-eyed Sky UnZid commentary, surely…

I feel like the team will be pumped up and should start this game really quick. The way we played mid-week should set us up well.

Start the same, hit them hard and then make a few changes to shore things up.

Got to Auckland yesterday, super keen for this. Any other fans making the trip?

Remember kids, owner Bill Foley has been a major contributor to Trump and other conservative causes (Republican National Committee and Trump Victory Committee) and was instrumental in getting Susan Collins elected.

So, you know, fuck Auckland and all that

Thank you for the heads up

How does that mesh with their left wing supporter’s group?

No doubt with some mental gymnastics on their part.

It’s okay with the famous Tamaki AFC, member count of 3, because they’re not actually against fascism, they’re against facism.

Every dollar spent in our very unprofitable league is a dollar not spent electing more fascists, lunatics, racists and other assorted weirdos and psychopaths.

Why are they giving airtime to the views of 3 uni students who can’t spell fascism and are apparently avowed anti-capitalists who support a billionaire funded football team.

Because as you know MSM love a negative A League article, but TBH it’s pretty hilarious peak A League stuff

If only I could get such attention :frowning:

Just as long as we have the spelling correct. The nun that taught me english would be rolling in her grave if I got it wrong.
