Who would have thought that at half time AUS and TUR would both have 2 shots on target each

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

Would rather not mow the lawn and get a snake bite than miss this!!!

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

Totally justified. It's working.

 

[Decentric]

Roos have done more prep in camp than anybody else.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Who are we predicting for subs?

Lucas Herrington, Cristian Volpato?

Maybe a deeply superstitious person who thinks mowing the lawn helps his team win?

The stress is more toxic than a snake bite.

Agree.

Need another goal, Irankunda can’t come off just yet.

Gosh who is doing the fotmob stats? They are claiming turkey have won nearly every aerial duel

Sofascore statistics are similar especially with them claiming that Turkey have won 12 out of 14 aerial duels, but at least we lead them in big chances created and shots on target as well as where it matters most on the scoresheet.

 

[McZero]

Need better corners and through passes for the counter.

Nestory Irankunda will eventually have to come off for Tete Yengi if the flow of the game forces us to score from set pieces instead, and even still we ideally want him to be well rested ahead of our match against the United States next week.

Turkey have a blueprint which is dangerous as it creates space and opportunities. The blonde bloke is very popular for them. Italiano just about managing.

Worth it if we win though!!!

Yeah, probably the only negative, a bit better delivery and we could have a Souter special delivery.

Socceroos and Turkey back underway for the second half, with the Socceroos now kicking from right to left and Turkey kicking in the other direction.

Yildiz on

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Kenan Yildiz coming on at the half for Turkey, replacing Baris Alper Yilmaz.

 

[socceroosmad]

We haven't seen Jordy Bos really unleash yet - hope Burgess and Okon primed to release him and do one of his mazy runs
