Aren’t you an Aussie too? I feel like you should be pro-Aussie.

Watching a certain amount of Scottish football does something to people. Good luck to Scotland after being dire for so long.

Using VAR to rescind a first yellow, "mistaken identity" almost a loophole there but the Paraguayan player did dive.

New rules, I’m sure.

I thought it was something weird to start with, yes - but it is covered under the new laws!

The wording of ‘of either team’ will allow them to do this. Very interesting as it’s something not a lot of people picked up on, but surely would be happy with this being the outcome.

This does mean, the VAR can only look at those that resulted in a booking for the defender (non-diver) in the first place

What midfield? If it's Irvine and O'Neill then it's two guys off the pace being complacent.

Aiden O'Neill started in midfield for the Socceroos last time out against the USA but probably we need to be giving Cam Devlin the start ahead of Jackson Irvine next week.

Seppos do look good with pacy forwards and excellent pressing.Their suspect backline not been tested.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Tyler Adams yellow carded in the 59th minute for the United States for a foul, becoming the first USA player to receive one this match.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Alex Arce coming on in the 62nd minute for Paraguay, replacing Antonio Sanabria.

We don’t hate America, we just hate many aspects of America and a loud minority of Americans.

The other clown said so.

Am I fuck an Aussie.

 

[booney52]

Lovely run by Enciso but no end product.Whoever plays RB or RWB for us will have their work cut out in the coming games.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

There's another delay of game for the second of two hydration breaks this match.

 

[socceroosmad]

I have zero hate for America, been there more than twenty times and love the place.

It's the government and neo-fascist policies I hate

 

[Sutherlandbear]

There's another delay of game for the second of two hydration breaks this match.

This will happen in EVERY match.

 

[LFC]

These hydration breaks are weak but sign of the times - weak.
It’s about who’s got the engine and gas in tank rain hail sun heat to show who’s got the game will desire to push yourself.
45 is 45 none stop
Either makes or breaks the game the hearts of the weak - that’s what gets exposed and you go for the kill.
The breaks provide resets and the players lacking gas recovery.
Weak as piss sorry, im sure others will argue the good toady fight of health mind and blah blah

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Two changes for the USA in the 72nd minute. Tim Weah and Ricardo Pepi come on for Folarin Balogun and Sergino Dest respectively.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Paraguay score!

Not my cup of tea either.

 

[Bbouy]

Paraguay pinch one back after the subs

 

[jas88]

Still enough time a draw would be huge

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Mauricio scores his first ever international goal in the 73rd minute for Paraguay to pull a goal back for them and make the score 3-1. Julio Enciso with the assist.

 

[switters]

Another goal for Paraguay will make it interesting.
