U20 WC 2025 Australia match thread

Argentina player just puts his back to Quintal. He just falls though despite a rash arm or hand.

Taken back for pushing. Just bullshit.
 
How isn't the Argentina goal a push despite Esposito's bad timing? The arm comes out into the defender.

Could’ve gone either way mate, Quintals was always a foul, he’s gone through the back of him.
 
2:0. Unbelievable. Lapses in key moments. Esposito causes the free kick with stupid hands in the back and just lets the man get in front of him.
 
WTF was that defending? Our 10 just watched 5 go into the box.
 
Half time.

Struggling with the press. Arg too good at absorbing and releasing pressure.

We are by no means being outplayed. Just lapses and lack of being able to create goal scoring opportunities is showing
 
Both goals were conceded came off the back of the No.3 for Australia, first goal he couldn’t win he’s duel against the Argentine striker and the second goal he switched off the cut back.

The defending has not been great but we need to do better with the ball we well, too misplaced passes and struggling to build through the thirds.

Unlucky with our goal we scored which was chalked off with an excellent press but it looked like a foul from the replay.

The much hyped Esposito. Another big name at a foreign youth club that historically doesn't amount to much. Loaned to Victory this season.

Esposito and Okon have these big development tags but they're so far off it in taking control of the game.

I'm still happy with our general play. Much more positive than the scared football of the past. Even in Asia we were holding it long and not sure what to do. I guess here with a superior opponent we know we need to go quickly.

Absolutely mental that Leonard wasn’t picked for this squad

Herrington and Leonard are better prospects anyway but agree he’s looked poor, even the goal against Italy he got caught ball watching for that too.
