The Aussie Younglings thread - 2022 AFC U23 Asian Cup

Aust with 72% possession at half time…

Last match… he just gave the ball away non stop. Then had a shit penalty saved… and got lucky with the second.

Tilio should really be in this squad no? It would be far better for him to be playing this tournament than training with the senior team.

Frustrating affair. Possession and passing seems a little loose from both teams. Don’t think the pitch condition is helping that.

We look rubbish from the bit of extra pressure we’ve been put under since the goal. Very, very sloppy.

Take the positives :hugs:

Saw most of the match this morning.

Bit worrying we couldn’t breakdown the likes of Turkmenistan. Although they had plenty of snipers in the stands. Plenty of rolling about like they got shot.

We now play the winner of Saudi Arabia & Vietnam.

Saudi Arabia tonight 11pm.

We’re narrow favourites

Saudis bunging it on already

Okay, so he was stretchered off… still bludging for mine

Gee thats poor defending. Two on one defensively and they stand-off and let him hit the ball across the box… to an unmarked runner on the penalty spot.

That’s got to be red right?

No fucking way. He’s off balance, that’s it. The Saudi player gets tangled in his legs. Yellow at most.

Ok we’re at corrupt levels of bad reffing now.

Definitely kicked out. Massively dumb.
Deserved to go for being such a fuckwit.

“There’s the kick” wtf game is this commentator even watching.

The bit where the bottom leg suddenly shoots up in a kicking motion into the opponent’s head for no obvious reason?

Watch it back in normal time. He’s falling and the Saudi player somehow gets wedged between his legs. He’s off the ground and falling, so he’s got no control, and he’s facing away. He can’t even see the player, let alone deliberately kick out at him.

So he’s going head first towards the ground but in your opinion decides to kick his opponent in the head? Not just flail as he’s falling? Contact that was so severe that the Saudi player milked the contact to his chest not his head?
