Fuck yeah! What a performance!

Socceroos winning on opening day of their World Cup campaign for the first time since we got the job done 3-1 over Japan twenty years ago courtesy of a brace from Tim Cahill.

Feel a bit sorry for Matty but BeachedAz was immense.

Turkey came close but ultimately fell short and now next week's match against the United States decides who tops the group.

I hate these games. I was going to get a glass of water with 5 minutes to go but didn’t want to jinx it. It was only right I suffered with the boys on the pitch securing the win.

 

[erogenouszone]

Hey Harry, remember when you won a UCL in Turkey without playing..

 

[Pub League Champion]

Poppa’s plan put to perfection.

Metcalfe was absolutely outstanding compared to what he’s previously done. I owe him an apology.

Irankunda - fantastic to see promise deliver.

I'm mentally exhausted. What a win. Talking shit to the press always backfires.

Great win. Beach amazing, amazing team defensive effort. Players are going to be exhausted after that. In a tournament need to watch fatigue in players if we are going to continue with this defensive workload. Need better through passing if we are playing counter football and better dead ball work to make the most of corners and the few chances we get. Right now so proud of the players and team. Never, ever underestimate the Socceroos!

America look out!

What a fkn game. I understand we were that defensive because we parked the bus but in other games I hope we don't invite that much pressure.
That was nail biting. I really didn't want to concede.

Great performance though.


All-time performance from Souttar, Circati and Burgess.

@Pasquali will we be able to vote for best on ground now that it's full time?

I was stinging to take a piss but sometimes you have to dig in for the greater good.

 

[West Adelaide Hellas]

Mata and Ange on the itv coverage. Tear in my eye hearing Mata talking about our a-league players.

 

[Encomium]

Do they do interviews after the match? I usually switch off by now?
