Official Asia Cup Qualifier: Australia v Kuwait

[peternorth]

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.

if what Hill says is correct then the high numbers does not support the argument. if they were fair dinkum then use the normal numbers! the use of high numbers suggests to me that this IS a reserve side....lets not kid ourselves.

Hill just said there are 6 sydney fc players on the pitch the lovefest!

and yes, why is corica in the side?

score update please?

I will give you a score update if there is a need for one

unfortunely atm s*** all is happening

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

I thought the plan was to excite the crowd. I had more excitement filling out my tax return form.

Dodd has looked lively, Carney flashes of brilliance but apart from that nothing. Dont really look like scoring either.

 

[Adam BK]

Far out this Kuwait goalkeeper needs a lot of attention.

 

[peternorth]

i must agree. very tempted to switch channels. please score a goal!!! i thought the days of no scoring was when eddie thompson was in charge

 

[Adam BK]

*yawn*

70 mins still 0-0 and not many decent attempts this half

 

[Adam BK]

Damnit chance wasted.....sasha holded up the ball and dodd couldnt finish it off

 

[eddiesmith]

That player who went down after taking a shot looked alot worse than what happened to Italian divers

[kimirocks]

[Adam BK]

Finally!

I was worried this was going to be an embarrassing draw

Still not over, but Kuwaits chances havent even made the keeper work so it would be a shock.

 

[Adam BK]

Hahah the ref is great....telling him to get of the field if he wants to recieve treatment

 

[tribey]

Does Travis Dodd really wear a magic hat?

You bet!

 

[Adam BK]

Sasha header but it went straight into the goal keepers arms.

Embarrassing is not only drawing but failing to score against Kuwait, 1-1 wouldnt be a suprise I must admit

 

[Jeremias]

Good to hear that we finally scored! About ****ing time, too

 

[Adam BK]

Crowd finally making some noise

 

[Adam BK]

Sasha went to ground

[eddiesmith]
