Re: AFC U-23 Championship
Australia versus South Korea in the semifinal starting 11.30pm Adelaide time Wednesday 22 January 2020 on Fox Ch 503.
Win this and it’s off to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Lose and it’s do-or-die in the 3rd place play-off.
Without getting ahead of things, imagine adding the 4 suspended players to the squad PLUS the 3 over-23 senior players allowed in say, Matt Ryan, Aaron Mooy & one other. They could be quite competitive in Tokyo/Japan and have good exposure on prime-time TV in Australia.

Re: AFC U-23 Championship
Unfortunately a really poor performance during the 0-0 first half with the midfielders & forwards completely anonymous.
South Korea deserved to take the lead on 56 mins.
Can’t believe it’s taken nearly an hour for Arnie to realise the team has to defend those short corners with two players. Up until then the two on one Koreans were virtually walking past the one defender against the short corners...
Final score a 2-0 win to South Korea on a night that was easily Australia’s worst performance in this tournament. South Korea had 10 corners and even as late as the 85th minute the Olyroos had lapsed back into defending with only one man against two opponents taking their short corners. Would have thought that basic coaching principle of defending those with two men was a given. Did Arnie’s army of coaching assistants even say anything to him?
Let’s hope that in Saturday’s 3rd place play-off Uzbekistan don’t have the superb technique that the Koreans did.

Re: AFC U-23 Championship
Very poor game and further confirms my point made some time ago, that Arnold has never really grasped Asian Football tactics.
He never achieved much in Asia when in charge at Sydenee and demonstrated that further in the last Asian Championship.

Re: AFC U-23 Championship
Probably correct but our attaching players were poor. They waited for the ball and their disposal shocking. South Korea is a v good side, very skillful. I don't think Arnie selected the best starting line-up.Old Master wrote:Very poor game and further confirms my point made some time ago, that Arnold has never really grasped Asian Football tactics.

Glover in goals looked a likely Socceroo GK of the future. If we get through Ryan would be a luxury. We may need a McLaren , Boyce or similar that can score goals. Moy a definite. Someone on the wing or a vg defensive player.

I wish we had Germany's problem at U23's. This weekend two goals were scored by Shalke, both cored by 19 yo strikers. Australia can't even get any of their senior players good enough to play in the Bundesliga!
I reckon even if our U23's made the Olympics they'd not make it out of the group. Brasil, Argentina, Spain, Germany, England, USA, Croatia etc have that job.
Oh I've got to thank the sports section's of ANY of our contests. Tennis, BBL, who gorged themselves. and did your job well commenting on sport no-one outside this country knows is happening, or in BBL, what the hell, it is?

Re: AFC U-23 Championship
Iraq U23 v Australia U23 1:1
Well played match for Australia. 4 AU players in the starting line-up. Yengi sent off after less than 20 mins on a VAR decision that I think was totally a 50.50 tackle. The ref was poor imho. We were also denied a stonewall penalty in the last 10 minutes after the ref would not change his call after being called over by VAR. Kuol scored amazing scorpion goal.

Re: AFC U-23 Championship
Australia wins the group. Another player send off for Aus. Looked very, very soft. Gauci must be getting noticed after some impressive performances.
We were lucky the penalty winner was retaken after brilliant save from Jordan keeper. He made a few good saves.

Re: AFC U-23 Championship
Only watched the first half. Totally outplayed. Bernado had an average game. Coach looked like he was trying out players that had min game time earlier. The second goal to Japan was an very poor defensive own goal.
Re: AFC U-23 Championship
I agree terrible performance from our young lads,beautiful first 2 strikes from the blue samurai.
