Re: Socceroos Thread

Charlie Yankos scored a few cracking free kicks back in the day

Yes, Charlie Yankos scored an absolute beauty against them World Champions, Argentina, in 1988. It put us 2-1 up and we went on to humiliate them 4-1. Yes, 4-1.

Maradonna and co were visibly upset at the result, with the whole SFS crowd singing "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina." Absolutely magic. One of the biggest boil-overs in world sport.

I remember that. I saw Charlie thump some crackers in internationals at the old Olympic park.

Charlie was pretty reasonable back in the day.
Not a favourite of the old South Melbourne Hellas fans .

Not only a good result but a really good performance.

Disappointing result against Japan last night in our bid to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Japan qualify and we have all the work to do next Tuesday against Thailand.

Re: Socceroos Thread

Awful awful performance . What on earth was Brad Smith doing when the first goal went in ?
Every time I see him play he gets skinned . I'm going Tuesday evening and expecting a decent result

Gotta hope Japan win or draw , but if the Saudi's win we need two extra goals .

Don't know what Brad was doing but he did get his defending from Liverpool.

Aaron Mooy is going to play so that's a big help. We will need 4 I reckon.

Re: Socceroos Thread

0-0 halftime and Thailand robbed of a penalty early in second half.

I thought it looked like the footy ground.

Re: Socceroos Thread

Our finishing is woeful. Even both times we hit the post they should've been buried.

Re: Socceroos Thread

Finally 1 up thanks to a Uric header.

Re: Socceroos Thread

1-1 gees Australia just let the Thais wander into the box and score .
Don't deserve to be in the WC .

Re: Socceroos Thread

Still need 1 more

Re: Socceroos Thread

That's it 2-1 win. Absolutely butchered it. There's no way Japan will do us a favour. Off to the playoffs I reckon.
