yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Entertaining game. Mariners were good value for their win. Lovely penalties in the shoot-out too! 

I wanna see CCM v Strikers.

Geez brosquey you’ve gotta give the balls a swirl! Just dipping straight in and pulling them out haha.

What’s the draw so far

Yay home game 

Decent chance at a semi as well... wtf is this?

City V Wanderers
Adelaide V Jets
Strikers V Moreland
Hume V CCM

CCM probably deserved that.They lead  the game twice and created the better chances.
They looked dangerous from set pieces,while Brisbane didn't despite a hat full.
Brisbane played the fancier football.But never really created that much with the ball .

There is still another month to go.But Roar showed their first signs of vulnerability at the back.2 goals against from CCM.
CCM really gifted two goals and offered little else.
Worrying signs for both teams.

A Jets home game would be nice, aye.

Think it will be Adelaide, Wanderers, CCM and Strikers going through. 

Maybe Hume could upset CCM.
So after those results I don't know how to rate the A-league sides.
Adelaide v Jets will tell more. The win by the Jets over Melb Victory was against a team without all its major signings.
CCM are still unknown. They lost a closed door friendly against the Wanderers 0-2 a few weeks ago but have not finalised their playing roster.
We will see how good Melb City are when they play WS Wanderers. WSW still yet to finalise the playing roster. 
The baffling question marks are over the Smurfs (after they lost to Brisbane), Perth Glory and Western (Fraudsters) United.
Nix to win the spoon again!

How can it be "again" since Its been 4 season since the Nix last won the spoon!

My observations re the squads to date...

Pussy Cat Dolls... very much improved on last season.
Jerks... improved on last season.
Mighty Mariners... the most improved team in the league when compared to last season
Drive Bys... improved on last season
The South Gosford Flying Circus[SFC]... slightly worst than last season..
BT's [MV] ... improved on last season
LT's [MC] ...improved on last season.
Piss Ants .... not sure seem a tad stronger than last year.
Western red Necks... worst than last year.
New Kids on the Block.... no idea
Sheep Shaggers ... at this point the most disappointing compared to last season 

Geez what do you call your dog?

or kids for that matter :)

South Gosford Flying Circus?  Revaluate that one, it's shit.  :hehe:

Two state league clubs. 

so if hume beat ccm would this be the first time having two npl teams in the semi finals?

Magic of the Cup really.

Well, I'm saddened for SU after their busy schedule the recent weeks for it to all fall apart.
They were flat and some players coming out of from their own danger zone wanted to dribble by too many players to lose the ball and wanderers easily returned serve.
This game certainly hasn't given me any indication what were to expect from wanderers but maybe facing City in the QF we shall see.
Sad also Manly knocked out but happy its another PL side advancing so good luck Strikers.
Hume what can you say but well done rippa result knocking off AU.
The more surprise was watching CCM contest the fancied revamped Roar and Away !
Its a game taking your chances and CCM did that with less possession but got to give it to them and Staj they played very well defensively. Marked improvement to recent years.
Entertaining Cup round.

I see Sydney United either lost count or were to embarrassed to continue updates after 5

Hume seem to always do well.

What is " worst " ?

i'm not too bothered by the result, after we beat wollongong wolves to make the Grand Final, the club decided to rest players and not take the FFA CUP seriously. 

out of our starting 11 we had 5 players who are regular U20s with the rest of the squad bar 2, fringe players.

melb city is letting members have free entry for the match against wsw

yer I hear you......still would have hurt, hurt me watching from afar.

“Australie – FFA Cup 2019 : derniers qualifiés pour le grand huit Antoine Blanchet-Quérin 7 septembre 2019 Australie  Fin des huitièmes de finale en coupe nationale de FFA Cup, une semaine après les qualifications de Newcastle Jets ou de Moreland Zebras, quelques habitués de la A-League ont laissé des plumes. banutip Le Roar n’ira pas plus loin que les huitièmes de finale de la FFA Cup 2019. Face au Central Coast Mariners arborant un maillot héritage des « Coasties » l’ancien club de la région, Brisbane a toujours été en retard. Matt Simon, l’éternel buteur de la ligue, obtient et transforme un penalty et si au retour des vestiaires, Robbie Fowler a pu apprécier l’égalisation de Brad Inman (46e), Samuel Silvera (85e) redonnait l’avantage aux siens. La défense du CCM allait ensuite relancer le suspense, offrant un penalty que Roy O’Donovan transformait pour arracher une séance de tirs au but. De cet exercice, Mark Birighitti, nouveau portier des Mariners, sortait en héros de cette séance en sortant deux tirs alors que ses coéquipiers avaient fait un sans-faute auparavant, offrant ainsi la qualification à Central Coast. À Sydney, la ville accueillait un derby entre le Sydney United 58 FC et le Western Sydney Wanderers. Un duel de l’Est de la ville, mais qui a fait perdre le Nord à United atomisé 7 à 1 sur sa pelouse. Alors que United était mené de trois buts la mi-temps par les hommes de Markus Babbel, la confrontation aurait pu offrir un meilleur spectacle suite à la réduction de l’écart de Patrick Antelmi, mais Daniel Lopar sortait deux superbes arrêts afin d’empêcher United de reprendre espoir avant que la suite ne soit qu’à sens unique permettant aux supporters des Rouge et Noir de savourer la prestation de Radoslaw Majewski auteur d’une superbe frappe et de six chances créées. À noter également l’excellente prestation de Daniel Georgievski qui s’est amusé sur son côté droit où il put être plus offensif que défensif avec deux buts à la clef. Les deux autres rencontres opposaient des équipes des divisions inférieures. Hume City FC recevait Adelaïde Olympic pour une soirée spéciale pour Marko Delic qui a inscrit le dixième triplé de l’histoire de cette compétition depuis son lancement en 2014. Si Adelaïde avait fait le plus dur en ouvrant le score, Hume City avait réussi à contrôler le reste de la partie et imposer sa supériorité. À Brisbane, les Strikers continuent de renverser les montagnes. Après avoir renversé Wellington Phoenix, les Jaune et Bleu iront disputer les quarts de finale grâce à une victoire acquise sur la plus petite des marges face à Mainly United. Les quarts Adelaïde United v. Newcastle Jets Melbourne City v. Western Sydney Wanderers Brisbane Strikers v. Moreland Zebras Hume City FC v. Central Coast Mariners Auteur Author: Antoine Blanchet-Quérin Reporter du football australien (Socceroos, A-League, FFA Cup, NPL) en France pour Lucarne Opposée.”
