These middle eastern referees are atrocious . They just allow this crap to happen game after game. Why would Kuwait even do it? I guess time wasting is now so ingrained in their psyche it just comes naturally.

Now it’s cramp time. Laughable 

Bility a bit silly in some moments today.

Nearly a spectacular own goal

Done. Next games will be much tougher. 

Apart from the crazy backpass that hit the post the defense was pretty tight today

Could have a bit more cohesian in attack…

He used to be a striker funnily enough.

Iraq Jordan ended 1:1 in our group.

Jay R/B, Peupion, D’Arrigo, Farrell all very impressive

'scuse my ignorance but what's the CV of this coach? Where'd he come from?

Coached the Joeys for years.

Really like Peupion. Seems to have no clear weaknesses, can dribble, pass, is quick and seems to have a pretty decent shot on him. 

Trevor Morgan also ran the football dept at Westfields sports high for like 20 years. Brought though a lot of talent at that school.

Probably the most experienced youth coach in this country. 

Hilariously I didn't like peupion very much. I felt he burned the ball way too much in the first half and threw around half a dozen passes that didn't get anywhere near any Australian player. 

He improved in the second half but I still think he gives the ball up cheaply.

Thanks.
Thanks Sub007

I think Miller & JRB were outstanding - can see them both being Socceroos in the future. D'Arrigo, Najjarine, Brook, Peupion & Kuol were good. Would give pass marks to Bility, Francois & Farrell. Guaci didn't have to do much & was sound. 

Francois for captain and Fulham was fairly quiet. Next game he can hopefully show a bit more. He hasn't played much at all this season.

We could say the Roos have a lot of right backs now but it'S also so exciting that our younger teams have a hungry set of players in each position.

Imagine a pairing of JRB and Souttar in the future. They are some big lads!

And with some hope that Stensness really makes it big and better as a player than having him in midfield makes set plays very exciting.

 Nice to hear a bit more from Peupion. Just glides on the ball as does Brook. 

So if we top group B the rest of our matches are on at 11:00 pm rather then 2:00 am if we finish second. I’m happy with that. Also looks like we’ll play either Qatar, Iran or Uzbekistan in the quarters.

one other tidbit is our Alex king is the ref for the Turkmenistan vs Iran match 

Does anyone have any idea what this means?

According to the Wikipedia article for the 2022 AFC U23 Asian Cup, Iraq and Jordan (the other two teams in our group) have been awarded “Disciplinary Points”.

Iraq -2
Jordan -3

Jordan got 3 yellow cards in their game, Iraq got 2. It's used for tiebreakers but also will never matter:

Tiebreakers

Teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Article 9.3):^[4]

1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
4. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
5. Goal difference in all group matches;
6. Goals scored in all group matches;
7. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are tied and they met in the last round of the group;
8. Disciplinary points (yellow card = 1 point, red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points, direct red card = 3 points, yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points);
9. Drawing of lots.

I think it only appears there currently because they are tied on everything else (points, goals, goal difference, etc). After three games it's very unlikely that will be the case.

Just watched the replay. Francois was the worst on the pitch. Surprised he is captain

He did that once or twice late in the first half - up to then he was one of our best attacking players. 

I’ve also seen enough of JRB to know that he will get to the very top. He will be in the prem within 3 years. 

Ahhh gotcha tyvm. 

It's the Australian way.j

Was that a full replay, I can only find 3 minute highlights on YouTube and 10 Play.
