That liverpool performance was a smash and grab straight out of the Jose Mourinho handbook from the Chelsea days. AB1 unbelievable against probably the best PSG 'team' I have seen for a long while

Wrong thread fella.

Lion City Sailors knock out Sanfrecce Hiroshima with a 1-1 draw (4-1 win on aggregate).

They now face the winner of tonight's Sydney FC vs Jeonbuk Motors second leg in the ACL semi final.

Hopefully Sydney can finish the job this evening.

Also - DIABOLICAL call in the RM v Atl mad game with Alavrez called for a "double kick"

To paraphrase the late Ron Barassi we're doing the typical ****ing thing in doing it the hard way as usual.

Douglas Costa was the architect of a stirring second-half performance from Sydney FC as the club surged to the AFC Asian Champions League Two semi-finals.

He dragged us into the Semis kicking and screaming. We were going nowhere before he started cooking. That first half was diabolical.

Regardless, don’t take Lion City team lightly, they’ve got this far for a reason.

Squads in for the WCQ.

A bit of a conservative squad. Sydney FC veterans Anthony Caceras and Alex Grant (on debut) get much deserved call ups. Great to see Triantis and Trewin get a look in. Disappointed that Iredale missed out though.

I was very surprised Adelaide's Archie Goodwin didn't get a call up tbh. He's been lighting it up this season.

Segecic as well from Sydney FC and Botic from Western United are two I felt would of been ideal for a Popovic system.

Obviously hoping for a good result but that new socceroos strip is just yuck.

Lets stomp some c*********** tonight

 

[CrazyMatt]

Won’t be an easy game. Indonesia are on the rise a bit. Coached by Dutch legend Patrick Kluivert and they have Jordi Cruyff as a technical director. They’ve also naturalised quite a few Dutch players. They have a clear Dutch themed direction in that organisation and it is paying off for them. Form is quite Jeckyl & Hyde. Lost their last match at home to the Philippines. But they own a home win and an away draw against the Saudis and held us to a nil all draw in the away game. They’re sitting in 3rd right on our heels and surprisingly in front of the Saudis.

So who knows what we’ll get but I feel like they wont roll over for us, they’ll come here and sit in a low block, Australia don’t handle that well and havent for a long time.

No offence but you really have to love your soccer, which you guys clearly do, to get into this tournament.

This is how we get to World Cups so of course I’m into this.

Yeah, its not just "some tournament".....

I reckon it is unless you're really into it. Personally I have zero interest watching us play Indonesia or the like. Not having a shot btw, good luck to those of you that do, you're obviously into it.

I get into it more towards the back end, when the qualification race heats up. Agree with you it’s a bit of a punish in the earlier stages.
