Can't stand football ads with trickery when they can't get the basics right in a match. The same with players warming up with trickery only to not be able to make a simple pass.

I’m sure we’ll see Raso at some stage, providing some more speed down the flank instead of Mary cutting inside. Might see Sayer late in the game and unfortunately EVE for a tiring midfield.

Ok I can’t find it - but it came after something similar happened to Damian Mori in 2005/06 where the ref pulled him up on his wedding ring pre game, and he couldn’t get it off. Was then put on the bench while he tried to get it off, and it was still stuck so he didn’t get to play, and had to have it cut off at the jewellers during the week.
Eventually later on in the season, the back page of FourFourTwo and Soccer International magazines had Mori facing the camera smiling with his hand showing the ring in ads for QBE Insurance

In the absence of Hayley Raso someone has to go down in front of the box so Katrina Gorry has decided to step in.

Recent history in penalty shootouts against China, albeit in club football, have not gone our way unfortunately and if we were to bow out in that manner it would only add to the heartbreak.
