The Socceroo's should all wear one then flee to Australia at half time.

If the players really want to protest, they should kiss their teammates when they score.
I doubt it will have the same ramifications as the black power olympics podium stuff decades ago, the media would laud anyone who did it first so they have missed a trick there.
I wouldn't say it's off the board. Time-wasting is also used to kill momentum, also if the team winning end up being pegged back (like last night) then they can use it to their advantage at the end. It's a step in the right direction, at least.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
USA second half was like watching League One football.
Them moaning about the crafty Welsh taking time out of the game after the equaliser went in was peak Team Murica.
Jenas is a roaring cunt but works very hard to hide it. It's come out on a few occasions when he's lost his head, usually regarding his playing career or Tottenham getting battered.
I honestly thought Scandinavians were all macho men and wouldn’t bother their arses with this sort of thing. Fair play. Carlsberg and Hummel are still shite though
They had 4 players have a sit down in the preceding 10 minutes. Reading #USMNT twitter, they all seem to basically not understand football at all, either blaming Walker Zimmerman for the challenge (which I thought was more brilliance from Bale than clumsiness from him) or blaming the admittedly weedy-looking coach for not bringing on 'Gio' up front. How about the fact that your team was unable to deal with a Championship cart horse for 45+9 minutes of football.
They have 1 outfield player in the Championship and even then he was relegated last year and will come straight back up lol. US have a good midfield and that’s about it
All aboard the murder express today.
Fuck Messi, Qatar and General Galtieri.
I have no idea who Papu Gomez starting for Argentina. Also, Otamendi still starting... surely he's still shit?
In fact, Argentina are starting 3 34yr olds and a 35yr old. #HelpTheAged
Looking forward to watching Rodrigo de Paul absolutely dominate.
I'm a twit
That soccer knowledge
Good luck repressing homosexuality if you are going to let Herve swan about the gaff.
Finally some relief from the single-colour kits. Thank you, Argentina.
One day they'll make Brazil play in yellow shorts.
It's strange seeing Herve Renard manage a non-African national side.
Penalty already?
Saudi Arabian lad just wanted a hug.
I'll happily accept counter-evidence as I haven't watched every minute religiously, but I'm feeling like most long range efforts are flying miles over the bar to a much greater extent than normal. Is that a ball thing or am I imagining it?
I don't think any of the 15 goals to date have been from outside the 18 yard line.
Two goals ruled offside already, poor Waff.
Messi was off but Martinez looked on.
Assume he was 'active' as the keeper would have accounted for him being there as an option.
Maybe if Dopey Lionel Messi hadn't subsequently made a decoy run the other side of the goalkeeper you could argue he wasn't interfering, but I reckon he was. Decent decision.
Linesman working hard.
What is the record for offside goals in a game?
Damn brave of Saudis to attempt this offside trap tactic. If they keep it to under 4 it'll be some effort.
Arm offsides really should piss right off.
Saudi look miles better than Iran or Qatar. Herve.
Argentina still look a bit scrappy - similar to the last World Cup really. It really shouldn't have taken them the whole first half to get to grips with the Saudi's offside trap.
We have 2 elite players. The other 2 have nothing of the sort.Saudi look miles better than Iran or Qatar. Herve.
Get Dire Maria off my screen.
Problem is your two elite players are centre forwards but you're determined to play an 8-1-1 formation.
You've presumably watched 90 mins of us in the last 4 years, rest assured you're very much mistaken.
Maybe so but the World Cup is where it matters. No point playing a certain way to dispatch Lebanon and the like in qualifying just to bottle it on the big stage.
I haven’t watched any of Iran bar the England game but they made us look like a fluid attacking side so on that basis their top 20 ranking flatters them somewhat.
Keane and Souness
Roy Keane is going to knock Souness out.
Souness standing his ground.
1 game samples with 1 of our 2 stars missing and our 3rd most important player going off at 0-0. Wales and USA will determine the veracity of the rankings. I heard Savage on the radio saying we are worse than Macclesfield and no way a top 20 side. I'm phoning in on Friday after the game to sneak in a lol.
I’d agree, Iran vs either of the other two will be very interesting. Genuinely no idea how to call any of those games.
Saudi!
Saudi Arabia yet again showing they're better than Iran and Qatar.
Have it!
Our group has Group 4 1978 vibes, with us playing the part of the swaggering total football Dutch, Wales playing the part of Scotland (with their stupid anti-English fan song and giddy optimism), and Iran playing the part of Iran.
That means Wales are about to lose and we'll draw 0-0 with the USA.
Holy shit.
What the fuck, I turn it over for three minutes
Oh my. What a fucking goal that is.
Hervé is untouchable in tournament football.
That's quality.
That's a fucking madness. Ridiculous goal.
