Couldn’t find a dedicated thread for our youth teams shrug
We kicked off in Uzbekistan last night. Defeating Kuwait 2-0. Adelaide’s D’Arrigo opened the scoring in the 26th, whilst Rich-Baghuelou who is at Accrington Stanley scored in the second half.
Jordan and Iraq drew 1-1 in their game, so we’re atop the group.
Next game is against Iraq on Saturday night (sunday morning our time).
The league is ranked 52nd out of the 55 UEFA countries so not the best standard!
Was listening to an Icelandic football podcast before the current season started and Keflavík were quite worried that Gibbs would be missing a decent chunk of the season as his wife is due to give birth soon and he’ll be coming back to Australia.
In my head I was thinking… that’s not just an obscure league to follow but does someone make an Icelandic football podcast in English? What is the listener-ship for something like that.
Watching the replay now, Red Card was indeed farcical. He’s stepped on the ball, lost his footing and made contact with the Iraqi player. Yellow card at best. VAR being way too over critical with that.
Kuol with the scorpion kick. Amazing finish. Iraq’s equaliser was tidy and very well finished as well, but nobody tracked the run.
It’s been pretty tame now, up to the 60th minute.
Got dicked by VAR for a penalty too. Although you could argue that Brook was off balance already.
: Kuwait 2-0 W
Iraq 1-1 D
Jordan 1-0
1-0
