Probably a sensible call by the ref to overturn it.
I can say that with us leading, if we were losing I’d be blowing up 😆

Love to see the Saudi red card, but man Boyle went down easy as soon as he felt the hand on his shoulder

Anyone know who is going to be televising these games?

Yeah it’s bad.
Asia should be a real focus for A League teams, this is small minded behaviour

Viewers have expressed concern to authorities that making the icon sit through the torturous debate should count as animal cruelty.

So we’re officially becoming a junior nursery / selling league.
Not sure how I feel about this, youth getting minutes has been great, but this doesn’t bode well for Asian competitiveness.

Interesting, what would people prefer?
6-0 or an 8-2 victory?

Personally if the margin is the same, I’d rather more goals. So tonight was only Newcastles 2nd best win ever.

This is fvcked, the best A League pod in the land and they’re ditching us 😩😭

Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

At a minimum you get goals, goals, goals!

The Adelaide goal before was right out of the Devenish playbook, parrying the ball straight to an attacker.

She’s been a massive asset for the A League over the years.
Has been around since the Fox days too… and I’d expect any new media partner would take her in a heart beat

Talay don’t do defence, it should be Cove chant

I loved his honest assessment during the first half of how poor China were.
Although in hindsight of our 2nd half performance I wish he’d stayed quiet ☺️

That would be sweet, but not unlikely since the Saudis can’t score at the moment.
They’ve only got 4 goals in 8 matches, that’s terrible.

Realistically the #Socceroos only need a draw in the last game in Saudi Arabia (due to our strong GD) to get the the WC.

A win against Japan should put us through, but a draw against them is almost pointless (assuming the Saudis beat Bahrain).

I really struggled to maintain interest in the 2nd half.

We’ve got a massive goal difference advantage over Saudi Arabia which puts us in a pretty strong position.
But yeah let’s call it, a win against Japan puts us through 🫣

Really really hoping the #SamuraiBlue maintain this control and get a win over the Saudi’s in front of their fans, the #Socceroos could really do with a gift.
Then they’ll hopefully not care when they travel to Perth to play against us. 🤞🏻

Japan are all over the Saudis, if this continues they’ll surely open the scoring within the next 10 mins

These Japanese fans just sing the same thing over don’t they 🤔
Not sh!tying in them because it’s better then your average #Soceroos home games but man it’s repetitive

Plus Blocker has his own beer range. Had a few at Leichhardt Oval the other week, not bad.

We should, worst case scenario would be a draw.

Japanese football team vs Bahrain

So get in with it

Seriously, if we lose against China and a couple others pick up a win and all of a sudden we’re at risk.
I think we will beat Chine and ultimately qualify, but it’s not a given nor comfortable, like Japans position.

Really we need Japan to win all their remaining matches, even if they don’t need to, so it doesn’t give our competition any chance of overtaking us. #Socceroos

That big win really puts some comfort in the goal difference column for us, just in case we choke later on and are equal on points.

Yeah we won easily on the scoresheet, but it didn’t feel like that kind of match.
Although Indonesia with all their possession didn’t control the match, but watching the #Socceroos control possession is quite a bore usually.
This was a great result but don’t know how it’ll be analysed.
#AUSvIDN

While I don’t mind that half the stadium were in red and supporting Indonesia, getting the win feels just that little more special because of it.
