That's got to be up there as one of the Australian men's greatest tournament results!

Spain look incredible on paper but a poor result against Egypt gives me hope. Hopefully their lack of capitalising on chances that we saw at the Euros continues here. I'll gladly take a Simon special as well please!!



I'm getting ahead of myself but topping the group is massive. It means we'd avoid Brazil next round who look very dangerous.

I would have loved a draw sad we didn't hold out. But I'm not devo with a small loss. If we beat the Egyptians were thru!

Egypt tonight. A draw will get us through however we need to play for the win; seeking a draw is inviting disaster.

No McGree, Atkinson or Duke tonight. McGree and Atkinson have been key in our past two games and will be sorely missed. Duke has been playing possibly the best I've ever seen, however he will be easier to replace.

Can Watts cover for McGree? I am not sure he is the same type of player however he has looked good when he's come on.

I just hope our strategy doesn't devolve to "D'Agostino-to-throw-the-ball-to-Souttar".

Yes that Atkinson yellow as the last action of play for the game will no doubt be a regrettable choice for him. Clear yellow as well.
I thought Watts is more of a wide player? Not that I've seen a lot of him.
With Duke and McGree out I'd love to see D'Agostino with Piscopo playing just behind him.
Not to presume that the Egyptians will be the same as the middle east nations we face, but if they have similar physical attributes hopefully Souttar's height advantage will come into play like it has for the senior side.

Olyroos are off to Tajikistan to play Indonesia in the AFC u23 qualifiers. It looks like the core of the group are the age group that will be eligible for the next Olympics.

One Lachlan Brook included in the squad.

We were to play in a group however China and Brunei withdrew leaving just us and Indonesia to duke it out.

AFC Asian Cup U23

What a great goal from Kuol!
Doing well with 10men after Yengi was sent off with the help of the VAR.

Australia 1-0 Turkmenistan
74min

D'Arrigo on
Brook had a quiet game and was replaced by Bernardo.
Gauci on

As as I write Bernardo scores for Australia!
But it will be given to Owen Goal because it was already over the line.
No, Bernardo Oliveira is given the goal.

COME ON AUSTRALIA!!!
