2026 Australia Cup final rounds thread

[erogenouszone]

revealed on Paramount that South Melbourne were allocated 1700 tickets for tonight's game as per pregame interview Archie Thompson did with its manager Sinisa Cohadzic moments ago.

So we've got 1000, 1200, 1500, 1700 and 2000 quoted.

There is an away bay and some people will be in there. They might be supporting South Melbourne but I'm willing to listen to alternatives.

Oh look. Paulo Retre playing for South Melbourne. Solid player.

 

[erogenouszone]

Ooooo tipped onto the bar.

The ball doesn't roll very well on this field I've noticed already.

SMFC with some good chances so far.

Tense match. You wonder if south end up ruing not making the most of their territorial advantage

Preston ripped off a pen! Done dirty by the Ref.

They've been in the Preston box a fair bit.

Went down very easily but was still kicked.

Not to flog a dead horse, but please tell me, why do the fa etc not want this in the league format aswell. Clearly old and new are coexisting just fine in the cup. What are they afraid of at this point, this comp is a true exemplification of Australian football. APIA v Melbourne victory ..good. Preston v South Melbourne ..good. Sydney fc v Melbourne victory semi..also good. I don’t get it what’s the point of denying the reality
