Atkinson so late, Cummings on instead of McLaren....
Just let Griezmann do as he pleased. Urgh.

We have no one in the top leagues and it shows we've a ways to go.

About the youth now.

Hrustic plays Serie A and Mabil LaLiga, certainly no golden generation though. Hopefully Hrustic is right to go for the next game.

Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup

Think it's just the prevalance of Australian heritage there. It isn't as if we've been shy with other countries, Hrustic and Karacic were both converts as well (pretty sure Karacic had never even been to Australia until after he'd played for us). As for gametime it helps that it's basically the A-League standard but on Europes doorstep and with no language barrier, hence why alot of our players head over.

Karacic yes, but Hrustic born and raised in Melbourne.

Ah I didn't realise thanks - must be newish moves. Important they play regularly against good opposition.

Kuol is coming to the mighty Toon as well.

What a cracking header

Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup

What a cracking header

Playing well, dominated midfield first half.

They've pushed one up now need to hold and wait for the turnover/counter.

Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup

Solid win. Graham Arnold will be very pleased.

Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup

Really good win. We played well. Great goal by Mitch Duke. We are still in the World Cup.

Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup

Great finish by Duke.

Leckie and Goodwin were excellent. Great endorsement for the A League. Souttar was immense - his second half was massive.

Thought we could have attacked more in the second half instead of inviting pressure, but good win.

For all those that trashed the team and the A League, hope you enjoy the night!

Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup

Goodwin has really put his best foot forward there, terrific performance.

Duke’s goal was glorious when you add up the sum of its parts. A nice header, hard running, a mid stride adjustment of the deflection and a beautiful touch and turn to get it all going.

Got a bit dire late as we started to defend for our lives, but Souttar and Ryan were both bullocking and assured.
