Time for the official thread.
Scotland lost to Ukraine 3-1 at Hampden Park overnight, watched the second half. Ukraine scored twice in the first (I think), running on adrenaline. Scotland dominated the last half hour, missing a multitude of chances but finally nailing one but then conceding a late counter attack goal in the last seconds of injury time.
Sad for the Scots, Ukraine go on to play Wales for the second last place in the Cup on the weekend. I would have liked to see all three of these teams qualify, but it is what it is.
Socceroos won an entertaining friendly against Jordan 2:1, nice headed goal from a free kick and a nice goalmoath finish from Awer Mabil. Jordan scored first with a cracking team goal, break down the right flank, series of one touchs before a left footed rocket from outside the area. One positive from Rogic pulling out of the squad is Arnie can't play both him and Mooy in the same team, as that would make us sooo slow. The squad last night was at least young and quick. I feel we'll get over the UAE but then Peru is another story.
Apparently Mooy is putting his $180K per week !!! contract in China at risk because he didn't go back last month to try to avoid catching covid or getting locked down.
Winner of Peru - Aus/UAE will be the last team to qualify for this cup.
