Some of you guys would be having apoplexy to read how Joe Root's "catch" of Marnus Labuschagne is being reported over here.

Please show us the evidence for this assertion. It's not the way the incident is understood over here. He suspected the other two were up to some skullduggery but didn't have the cojones to ask what it was nor tell them no. That was his crime - willful ignorance. On a completely different...

He really shouldn't be though. Smith is one of the genuine good blokes in Australian cricket - his crime was to turn a blind eye to the evil antics of others. Speaking as a proud Australian cricket fan, it pains me to say that there has been an era of utter dickheadery - pretty much since...

When you consider the number of Hudds fans on their forum saying he's the greatest player ever to pull on their shirt, that ought to tell you something. Mooy is one of those rare players who are capable of controlling the game. He didn't do it so much last year - for reasons that others have...

Given the very, very dodgy yellow card that put Tom Rogic (Australia's most creative player) out of the quarter final v the hosts...it will be interesting to see what crazy antics the officials get up to tonight to advantage UAE. Maty Ryan will almost certainly have a difficult night and I'll...

Given that the tournament has now reached the knockout phase, Maty's performance in that last game will be scaring the shit out of other teams re the likely winner of a shootout...which could mean Oz will be less confronted by parked buses.

What a crock! Nearly every question was dependent on undisclosed "context". This is just part of the new puritanical movement designed to emasculate the last bit of juice remaining in our culture.

Aaah mediocrity... Where would my love life, career, and football teams be without you?

We regularly beat the likes of Germany and Netherlands in friendlies, and then we lose to Jordan... So yes, anyone can trouble Aus!

No they can't!

By the way, I'm so glad Mourinho is gone. If Maty had gone to United I would've had to hate him. By far my most hated team...

Come on Oz! Maty needs a long holiday from the EPL.

Australia's Asian Cup defence totally on the line tonight against a fired up Syria desperate to avenge us knocking them out of the last World Cup. Maty will be a lot busier than against Palestine. Needs to have a blinder.

You'd be happy with any of them at Brighton...until they had to go play for Oz again.

Scroll down to see Ryan's save. https://www.foxsports.com.au/football/socceroos/why-the-quirks-of-the-asian-cup-draw-could-mean-finishing-second-in-group-b-benefits-the-socceroos/news-story/15fc2c131ac35f8c51ccab7b8326538e

Asian football is a lot higher standard these days, and playing in the Middle East is never easy. On top of that Oz has lost 5 first choice attacking players (Mooy, Arzani, Leckie, Boyle, Nabbout) mostly on the eve of the tournament. Few teams would cope well with that. Never mind, we lost a...

As far as I'm concerned you're only rich if you don't have to work. The Australian equivalent would be about $90k, which is just short of double the average wage - similar to the UK position. The missus and I make a fair bit more than that and while we'd be certainly regarded as well off by...

We haven't had a striker since Viduka retired. Cahill's our all time highest scorer and he's really an attacking midfielder who can jump.

Well I disagree. The ball was deflected onto Griezmann's left foot so he overhit it into Ryan's hands...then flung himself to the ground once he realised he'd lost control. But the main point is, the VAR was not introduced to re-referee every incident. It is only supposed to be used for obvious...

That VAR decision was an absolute disgrace. Risdon (RB) did connect with the ball first and enough to make Griezmann overhit it with his next touch. He lost control of the ball so dropped to his knees after taking another two steps. Yes there was very slight contact by Risdon after touching the...
