Exactly. Souttar was playing up front. Australia were playing with one centre back at that stage. Argentina were not great in that match.

I would fancy the Dutch to beat Argentina on tonights performances. Without Messi and a massive fuck up by Mat Ryan, the Argentines didnt threaten the Aussie goal too much.

He is normally played wide right, using his pace and dribbling skills to outdo opponents. Perhaps the occasion got to him also, hes the youngest player to feature in the world cup KO since Pele.

Proud of Australia. We pushed a tournament favourite to the last minute. We were never going to dominate possession or create a heap of chances. Our team is full of championship, A-league and SPL players. And yes, I nearly died when Garang had that chance.

This is all set up for Garang Kuol to announce himself to the world.

this is pure sex for us aussies right now.

Our starting striker stars in the Japanese second division.

This Dutch team is so boring to watch. Since when do Dutch teams not want possession of the ball.

This stadium is a bit shit btw. Crowd seems miles away from the pitch. It’s like London Stadium.

Very nice goal. Come on USMNT!

it’s probably to give major nations like China a better chance of qualifying. China, Indonesia and India have some of the largest populations in the world. Imagine what it would do for FIFAs bank account If they can get those populations more invested.

Both teams will be exhausted at about 75 minutes. A fresh Kuol could create some problems for Argentina if the game is somehow close.

I think it’s also worth remembering, that the current ownership like to consistently play things down to the media. Anything can happen in January.

He will only make it onto the pitch if Australia nerd a goal with less than 25 minutes to go. The last 2 games Australia have been leading and he’s too inexperienced to help see out a game.

haha, I was thinking more like the team that beat Leeds away last season and scrounged results.

This Australia side reminds me of us under Eddie Howe. Massive amounts of spirit; togethernes and belief. It can count for a lot, when the team isn’t full of stars.

I dont think we would pay 70mill for a midfielder. We would back ourselves to find a player of similar quality for half of that price. I do think Howe would get far more out of Rice in our midfield 3. Hed be perfect to be the sitting midfielder.

Can I phone a friend? I do wonder if the face mask is hindering Son.

What Newcastle game were you at, when you were pictured in the away end? Was it Chelsea away when Cisse scored 2 pearlers?

Asian teams seem to struggle against 6ft7 players at set pieces.

Thought Duke was outstanding leading the line as well. The team lacks a lot of quality, but there is a spirit and workman like attitude that can hopefully push us close to getting out of the group.

Souttar has been immense. Only third game in 12 months after an ACL last season.

the threat is all from Mbappe and Dembele. Only team defence can stop those two. Declan Rice would need to cover Trippier and Shaw.

From $0 to $10?

He put in a dominant performance against Barcelona when he was 17 in an All Stars game. Xavi spoke extremely highly of his performance. There were rumours that Barca were one of the teams looking at signing him.
