Official Asia Cup Qualifier: Australia v Kuwait

[evertonfc]

August 16th can't come quick enough. A good win here won't ease the pain of the Italian job but winning the whole thing will.

Agreed.

Winning the Asian Cup would be huge...not as big as making the 2nd round, but it would erase the pain, that's for sure.

Be interesting to see the reaction - I think would be fantastic, and so close after the World Cup, another big tick for the game.

Why is this weekend qualifier not being covered?

I have checked:
http://www.foxtel.com.au/TVGuide.aspx
http://www.yourtv.com.au/guide/ (for Free To Air program guide)
& http://www.theworldgame.com.au/

But I cant see anything, the first qualifer overseas was covered. Perhaps something to do with the Tour De France, but they could at the very least show it delayed.

It's still a month away...

Ah that would make sense....I thought it was July not August

Silly me

That would explain why I couldnt find the lineup AAHHAH

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Does anyone thing $6.75 the draw is very generous? Let's face it, it's not a very strong Australian side.

Having said that, think we should still win 2-1.

Has there been talk of the SoccerTwos ocer there? It seems the side is been relegated to reserve status because of the big names missing

What's with the ridiculously high squad numbers?

Bolton - #51
Valkanis - #38
Dodd - #45
Muscat - #46
Corica - #44
Carney - #30
Ceccoli - #27
Thompson - #22

And so on.

Simon Hill said very early on that the FFA want to stress the point this is very much a Socceroos and not a 'Soccerwhos' lineup as has been inferred in the media, so what, they send the side out in squad numbers reminiscent of the kids and dregs in the Crows inaugural squad?

Half expect to see 'Rehn 52' warming up behind the goal.

 

[Minkus_Swan]

[is2SWaNz]

lol...we had 3 attemtps at goal..and missed. =]

 

[tribey]

Kuwait look like a typical Asian side.

Zippy, decent technique, but precious little by way of final balls or creativity - have only threatened by way of the odd long-range shot so far. Seem to be easily pushed off the ball.

 

[Adam BK]

lol i will laugh if we end up losing, god damnit ball get in the net

 

[Adam BK]

still 0-0 after 44 mins

 

[Adam BK]

Ref blows the whistle

Thanks lol I guessed it was soon when they started warming up.

Corica annoys me. So old... Carney and Dodd are playing well. Wish they would stop trying to get Archie to head it because I doubt Archie has ever scored with his head!

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Give the ball to Travis more! He has his man beat!

 

[Jeremias]

score update please?
