[rebelliousfeminist974]

Four minutes of first half stoppage time.

 

[LFC]

Irakunda even more.

 

[booney52]

O'Neill has also stepped up this match

 

[booney52]

We have played better in the second half in many of our matches so that might stand us in good stead.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Socceroos leading Turkey 1-0 going into the half.

 

[Dan_The_Red]

Check my heart rate someone.

 

[McZero]

Give away the ball to easily and just booting it doesn't break the pressure. Great goal. Need to slow the pace down a bit

 

[Quicky]

I was roasting Popovic for selecting Beach and Okon but wtf do I know! Both been fantastic. Still need to do it for another half.

 

[booney52]

Beach and Okon have had excellent first halves as has the whole team.

 

[JS96]

Dreamland. Excellent long ball by O'Neill and that's how it's done going forward.

Okon winning balls. Beach not fazed. Those two Turkey strikes dangerous. That second Irankunda shot....

 

[TJMitchell]

Great first half. Popa's 'surprise' selections playing well. Fantastic save from Beach and Okon had a terrific half

 

[LFC]

Wow what a half fellas !
So glad to say I’m impressed by all our players !
Normally you groan moan at errors can hardly pick one.
Irakunda youngest Roo scorer now !

 

[NoMates]

Doing well so far, thank god the Valium kicked in.

 

[Quicky]

Some fuckwit next door is mowing their lawn. Priorities mate. Fmd.

 

[Encomium]

I think we've been the better team so far, Beach and Okon justified inclusions.

 

[grazorblade]

It feels like we might have another goal in us

450 aggregate passes that half, that is a pace of ball movement very few roos will be used to, subs will be important

 

[Richie]

Half way to a win.

 

[LFC]

I was roasting Popovic for selecting Beach and Okon but wtf do I know! Both been fantastic. Still need to do it for another half.

And the best he done is bench Irvine also.

 

[McZero]

Irankudu andToure are aces, but need more midfield control

We can't afford to get complacent in the second half because if our defensive line commits even one error we may well end up needlessly conceding a goal.
