BangrakBob Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 ^ July 24th 2013 was our game...Spurs v Juve yesterday was the other https://youtu.be/DjPY8mJL0lo To be fair i don't think that Australia is exactly swarming with Italians. One of the largest ethnic groups in Australia and particularly settled in Melbourne. Only British ancestry is in front of Italian ancestry in the Australian population and most are fanatical football fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw the first half, Chelsea came out well and truly up for it and were letting the tackles fly. The bellsniff Terry in the refs face with 2 other renters at one stage, after a nasty Cahill challenge. Same old story for us, loads of possession and no penetration. Mind you no strikers were on the park. Not arsed at all, just would have like to seen us play with a bit more urgency/pace on the counter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkles Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 ^ July 24th 2013 was our game...Spurs v Juve yesterday was the other:D https://youtu.be/DjPY8mJL0lo To be fair i don't think that Australia is exactly swarming with Italians. The Italian community has been in great numbers since the 1950's many migrated to Qld to work in the sugar cane industry at the same time many went into small business in mainly Sydney and Melbourne.The Greeks were not far behind them. Played against many Italian teams teams that tagged "Milan" onto their club names. Football is on a roll in Oz the Soccoeroos won the Asian Cup and the Joeys just won the U/16 version. One reason for a smaller than espected crowds might be the ticket prices .A friend paid $85 for half decent seat that's 2,200 baht hardly an affordable family night. These friendlies are more about marketing and making money rather than football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd played for 2 other British clubs also, but enjoyed Merrimac the most as there were a group of us fresh Expat Brits mixed with mostly 2-3 generation Italians. Us not being Italians and getting racially abused by some opposition players who assumed we were Italian just made our bond even stronger and we won a few trophies. Loved playing football in Oz, hard pitches, sweltering heat and old school tackling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha would had to be an uppercut from below the knee to hit Moreno. Seems to be a few boys going down injured already, again. No has questioned, but I wonder about Klopp's intense session sometimes. I thought about it before preseason and we are now seeing injuries. Maybe it is just <deleted> luck again, but fingers crossed nothing serious in the next 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, he appears to be reason behind Jurgen's blanking of the s#n in yesterday's conference. Arseoles are running a story about his marital problems last year.

BangrakBob Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Ive no idea how Moreno is even in the squad. He hasn't a clue about positioning, no awareness, dives in recklessly when it's not needed. No idea how to defend. This is nothing new, and it's blatantly obvious, which is why it's more baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangrakBob Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Devastating 15 minutes at the start of the second half. Quality goals. A bit of defending wouldn't go astray, but good start to the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
