@australian The disgrace here is the red card for Peredes being rescinded. Argentina were bad winners against England and sore losers to Spain. Considering FIFA is more corrupt than most politicians in the world this will quietly disappear into history.
@NewcastleJetsFC Not good enough in the 2nd half. Depth was questionable, defence looked shakey the whole game, Cooper missed a few basic clearances, Cockle, Clough, Wood looked off the pace. Wilmering, Dobson & Vergos looked good. Time to prep for the ACL and ALeague
@ManCityBrazil Fifa merchandise stores promoting Visa at fan hubs were providing a 15% discount on merchandise if purchased with Visa. The retail price on all the merchandise was marked up 15% in these stores. Other Fifa merchandise popup stores were 15% cheaper. Deceitful to say the least.
@FIFAWorldCup Name a FIFA president of the past 50yrs that has not been accused or convicted of corruption.
Now look at the current situation in the world cup and tell me your surprised.
@khalidmalinguur They want Messi to have the same fairytale finish as Pele.
He will win the world cup, golden ball, golden boot and be hailed the greatest of all time.
Considering every Fifa president since 1974 has been accused or convicted of corruption the farce of this world cup is expected
@MadridPreeti Can't argue with the criticism of the ref particularly allowing the Argentinean players to commit so many cynical fouls without consequence... however you cant stop playing football and expect to win.
England have noone to blame but themselves.
@AlboMP This is a global industry, a domestic "framework" that restricts & controls frontier developers will do nothing but deter the sector from Australia. We will become a dumping ground for old tech... and after you realise you will use government "grants" to entice investment.
@AlboMP $600m could have been spent on science technology or education that would benefit the future of the country but no... let's pay them to entertain us like clowns at a circus.
Need i day more.
@AlboMP The photo op with dignitaries is clearly a grift for you to justify a trip to the origin which you will charge off to the tax payers credit card while families in the nosebleed seats save for an entire year to take the family to the event. Nothing should justify these expenses.
@Socceroos Aussies did not deserve to progress. We have such talent that is wasted by a terrible manager.
I would like to join the choruses of Aussie fans calling for him to be sacked and replaced now with a manager of international quality so we have a better chance next world cup.
@DjWeedee When you put a ref who has a history of match fixing in charge of a match like this people are going to be asking questions even before the very questionable display he put on... supported by VAR.
@football360au Referee was ordinary (and thats a compliment) but Popa chose to start a side that wasn't our best and the half-time result proved it. Hopefully Popa comes to his senses before San Francisco and names the best team... and Beach is not our best in goals.
@OkGurt Didn't make it away from Australian football before can't see it happening now. It's questionable that he's good enough for the Australian national team but when daddys the assistant coach tge writing was on the wall.
@MurrayWatt Lets see if i earn $60k per year it will take less than 0.5% inflation to fully eat up that "tax cut".
What is the current rate of inflation?
@JEChalmers Just wanted to provide a correction...
This week and this government is all about lower real wages and higher hidden taxes for workers, and will pretend to be giving a fair go for first homebuyers while sabotaging investment and lining our own pockets.
@FootballAUS While ordinary Australians save their entire lives to attend a bucket list event like this our arrogant PM will attend and call it a politically necessary cost the Australian public can pay for... an no doubt the freeloading sports minister will tag along.
