The Australian Championship 🇦🇺🏆

Their antifootball seems to only work at home to be fair. On the road they are ordinary at best.

The travel factor for Perth is massive in the a league let alone for semi pros

Spirit have had a few great chances to make it 2-0. Preston still alive.

Bayswater look done. Bergers v Metrostars at the village looks locked in.

It’s too bad for spirit that they’re already not the team they were when they won the premiership. But that’s what happens when you’re a small club who overachieves

Are the time slots for the specific quarter finals locked it

They should be made official not long after these games end.

Spirit riding their luck now.

 

[Glenardo]

That was a bad tackle for bayswater on
Stewart, just unnecessary, he’s past you, why go in for a dangerous tackle and potentially injure a player

 

[southmelb]

Happy with Spirit at home, we should have too many weapons for them even with our shit defending. No blockbuster against Preston but a semi against Heidelberg looms.

APIA 4 Bayswater 1

Great comeback by the Metrostars in the 2nd half of the group stage to make it through after a very ordinary start. Don't like their chances against Heidelberg though...

Has anything been confirmed by FA regarding how the draw works for the semis?

 

[smfc_hellas59]

Never mind just seen Aus Championship post the draw now

Olympic will really be kicking themselves for dropping those points v Moreton last week. Have no one else to blame but themselves, really should have qualified in that group imo

 

[Glenardo]

Italian derby Friday night..again, have knocked each other out of every comp thus far this year

 

[southmelb]

Pretty happy to have the only Sunday game, maintain its our best day like the nsl days...as long as its not 1pm! The later the better.

Weather looking pretty average at this stage in Sydney next Friday, but at least there’s a decent amount of cover from the elements at Leichhardt

I love what MetroStars did with creating player cards for the tournament! Kids hanging around after the match to get their cards signed. Very cool.

 

[grazorblade]

Marconi lucky to not concede a 6th at the end. Awful performance.

welcome to the forum!
What a crazy game. Sorry you were on the wrong end!

Rain and storms in early prediction for Melbourne for next Sunday lol. Think it clears up in the evening which is why we should be pushing hard for a later kick off.

As for the final word on the group stage. We obviously put a line through Sydney United early on but Sydney Olympic and Preston absolutely crapped the bed. Both squads clearly good enough to finish at least 2nd and make the knockout rounds.

Haliti surely just has to go now at Olympic. What has he got to show for his ample time there. Obviously it’s not all his fault, but they need a fresh start

On this, just watched the highlights of the Olympic game, the second Broadmeadow goal…Olympic simply do not know how to clear the ball, how many goals have they conceded from just not being capable to clearing their lines..put your foot through the ball and get it out of there..it’s like watching juniors trying to toe poke/swing and miss the ball in the 6 yard box
