We are 1:0 up at half time on terrible SE Asian pitch. Vietnam defending well.
Typical game in SE Asia. Crap pitch and conditions and you need to grind out a win. it wasn't pretty, but job done. Both Japan and the Saudi's won.
On another note, our next match will be against Oman at Bankwest stadium in Sydney on October 7.
Yes, you heard me right. In Sydney with crowds (fully vaccinated only) in the heartland of Australia's biggest ever COVID outbreak.
It seems like this will be a test case for the future. Oman and the Australian international players will be placed in a bubble and given an exemption to enter Australia without doing 14 days HQ.
I honestly don’t know how to feel about this. Its great that the Socceroos are playing on home soil, but it just feels wrong it’s in Sydney. Am I right to feel this way? It just feels wrong that NSW are being rewarded for their recklessness (and because no other state government would have approved this game).
