Time for Najjarine to be subbed 

Piccolo

In a more positive post Gersbach looks socceroos level :)

Awful backpass by Deng.

Buhagiar? This keeps getting worse.

5 minutes??? Do these 4th officials actually watch the game?

And whilst abominable over the ball Bacchus is a ball winning a machine. Needs a better baller next to him than Duncan to break the lines like kalik, de silva, pasquali or Genreau

At least Buhagiar will be running at a tired defence. 

I guess they consider West Asian grass rolling to be a part of the game?

Probably the ref is just buggered and wants a rest sooner lol

If Gersbach can get regular minutes at club level he's strongly in the mix. 

This is the first game I've watched in full this tournament but if the Olyroos were Adelaide United I'd be pretty close to booing them off the pitch. I know it's hot and I know they're young(ish) but its been pretty lazy uninspired football 2nd half. It really doesnt look like anything is on the line. 

Folami should have come on instead of Toure 

Extra time! Will we get another sub? Syria have made just one. They might overrun us. 

Syria look cooked. All being treated for cramp in the break.

Fox Asia commentary said pre game Arnold thought we have the advantage there due to an extra days rest.

Well, here we go. I think we'll go to pens, not creative enough. Clark's got the pickle juice.

HOpefully the pro level fitness will make the difference for the Olyroos.

the match went into extra time. Olyroos need to take advantage of physical strength to finish the game

Terrible finishing from Buhagiar

Blows kiss good night everybody 

Arnold's fault for not picking any of Pasquali, De Silva armenaskas or Kalik. Absolutely criminal 

Cross the ball in Toure you absolute flog

Keeper hit by sniper. Get the medic.

Horrendous finish by Buhagiar 

Buhagiar ffs! 

Funny how quickly that Syrian keeper moves when he has to make a save lol

Thommy Deng has been a rock this match must be said. Decent going forward and very strong defensively. The best the CB's have looked all match also.

D'Agostino must be played exclusively as a CF offers nothing at CAM, breaks down at him every time. 

Looks like we are a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-4-2 now with D'Agotstino pushing up to toure

Arnold resorts to pace and power rather than skill.
Folami coming on. Yeh

“Go on. Score a goal”

Folami coming on. Finally! 

Deng certainly better as a RB. Atkinson is even better I find.
