Asian Cup 2023 (in 2024 because … $$)

[otto62]

Second half underway.

Great chance for McGree.
I expect McGree off on 60 mins.

McGree down again.
DO NOT GET INJURED MCGREE!!!!

[sevengoals]

Australia 1-0 Uzbekistan

second half.

Australia with a chance straight away and MacGree puts the ball wide.

Free to Australia ...

52min

Time for Craig Goodwin.

[otto62]

I’d maybe go:

Behich off to save him, with Bos to fullback
Goodwin on

McGree off
But who comes on … Fornaroli?
We’d lose so much defensive work.

[sevengoals]

Tilio perhaps?

A second goal would be good.

[otto62]

Close call with that offside goal for the Uzbeks.
Can’t say they wouldn’t have deserved it.

[otto62]

Tilio perhaps?

A second goal would be good.

Tilio is a good shout.

[otto62]

Come on. 70 mins.
Time for a couple of changes.

[otto62]

75 mins. Time to rest McGree. Come on.

We’re controlling the game.
We only need a draw to top the group.
No need to run players into the ground.

[sevengoals]

Australia 1-1 Uzbekistan

Bloody hell.

Uzbekistan score.

[otto62]

Should have taken McGree off instead of Boyle.
On 70 mins he’s moved out to a wider position where he has to work harder defensively.
He hasn’t played more than about 20 mins in a game for three months.

And that’s the side the goal came from.

[otto62]

12 minutes too late taking McGree off.

[otto62]

Nice touches by Fornaroli to set up a chance.
Corner comes to nothing.

90min

7min added time.

[otto62]

94 mins

We don’t seem too interested in scoring (other than the subs).
