This, but I'm happy with the GD.

Korea were good without being great. Neither team really looked threatening in the final 3rd and it came as a goalkeeper howler to separate them. I'd feel pretty confident if we can fix our defensive frailties to top the group, but based off performances its clearly a weak spot for us.

was loving it as well. pretty underwhelming performance from both teams though. oman was so flat after they conceded.

Damn a draw would have been perfect.

great game, Thought oman had equalized for a second from that corner.

oman hit the crossbar in last minute

Oman looking good, very unlucky

This Ibrahim Raed looks alright, only 22. Whole Omani squad plays domestically except for Al Habsi, doubt they get as much as their gulf neighbours...

if it stays this way, not a bad result for Australia. The more disheartened Oman are, the better.

Don't want Korea to get another goal :D We don't need them getting to much confidence

Same

enjoying this so much im actually getting keen for uzbek v nk now

Ned pronounce Koreans names :D WHOO WOO WHOO WU

some really high level possession play by korea

:lol:

If only that equated to being a good keeper. I'll be fair, I was critical of this with Schwarzer who over time improved the way he parried it, but was still not great.

same here, eurosport innit:lol:

North Korean stream best stream.

The stream I'm watching is showing scoreline as 0:0 for some reason

SK will probably be one of those teams that "grow" into the tournament.

Oman look weak.

Korea nothing special so far, they got pace which can hurt us but they somewhat seem uncomfortable with the ball as we were for large parts against Kuwait.

Lol break in transmition

But he's a beast.

Isn't the most exciting match but a deserved goal for SK.

Korea nicking the rebound off a long shot just before half time.

I feel much better watching both team's performances.

Oman look weak in transition. That will be a key for us to exploit in the next game.
