The Asian Cup

Recommended Posts

Australia were woeful although Oman players were diving around like there was no tomorrow faining injury.

 

Viduyka hasnt had a kick and the bloke marking him looks bloody useful.

 

Kewell has been crap, as has most of the aussies to be honest and Oman would have scored at least 3 more if it were not for Schwarzer.

Aussies were pathetic, strolled around the pitch doing jack all

 

They wont qualify for the later stages let a lone win the cup with performances like that

 

Thank god for Timmy Cahill  :frantic:

thats a good thing,  as Viduka gets an early break, and will be back for the start of the season fresh.

Cant really say that, we werent the best tonight but we will be better with that performance in the humidity and game conditions. We have really only had one warm up match so this was a good hit out despite the result. We can go from this address the issues and move on. Everyone in group A is now on 1 point so it is all there for the taking.

Graham Arnold is showing why he should not have got the job after Gus.

 

When we left the world cup we had dramatically improved respect for our game and were taking it to the best in the world.  Now we're reduced to scrambling a 90min equaliser against Oman.  Yeah there are lots of reasons why things could have been going against us (including the b.s. tactics of Oman) but that's football.  At worst we should have been 1-1 by half time, we shouldn't have been anywhere near as bad as that outcome!

 

Viduka was getting shut down, as everytime he held the ball up there was no one running up to provide support and someone to pass off to.

 

Kewel was hopeless.

 

Emerton was getting plenty of the ball, but did nothing particularly useful.

 

Am very disappointed with that game.

Yeh u got a point, i'm just really disapointed with that performance, we should and could have done better

 

With the other teams in the group having a draw aswell we havent been disadvantaged ur right, would be good to see a more

positive performance next time.

Agreed, i am really impressed by them, they've improved drasticly over the last few years and turned themselfs to a really good team, Emad AlHousani, their striker is one player i am really impressed with, their goalie Ali AlHabsi was actually signed by Sam Allardyce and is Boltons seconed (or third, not really sure) GK.

Viduka was f****** s*** tonight mind, he looked fat, slow and unable to do anything..hopless peformence by him today.

 

 

 

Motivation has always been his problem. He's a world beater when he wants to be. I reckon he simply couldn't be arsed with a match against Oman after a long club season.

 

Good to see Cahill get on the score sheet in his first game back.

Aye, he  looked very unintrested today, as if he was  forced to play this match, he  was just walking around  the whole game

 

Vietnam 2-0 UAE, i was a bit frustrated when our national side lost 5-3 to Vietnam in a pre-tournment friendly, but seeing them today i can understand why, they've been brilliant so far.

Yup and they will  8) O0

You would expect but I also hope Iraq would improve on their 2nd half performance against Thailand where in first half they were dominating the host...

 

Fantastic play by Vietnam...Great goals and great team play...UAE were a bit wasteful in front of goal but their number 10 Ismael AlHabsi was really good and skillful...One to watch...
