Dont understand why people wore socceroos jerseys to the game! Why not? Its common practice for host nation fans to attend neutral games in home colours. What did you expect them to wear? I saw people wandering the streets of West End yesterday in (old) Socceroo shirts. Maybe it's some kind of weird cult? I just think its weird. Why not wear a neutral shirt? I find it weird to wear a jersey supporting a team who isnt there. Its not like your socceroos jersey is just layong around, you'd have to conciously decide to wear it, but they arent playing... I dunno. Weird OCD thing I guess, everything in its place, etc. Edited by roary's mane: 11/1/2015 06:22:22 PM The last world cup there was LOADS of Brazilians at neutral games in their Brazilian jerseys. Think of it as celebration of football, I think its brilliant. Also, some people have plenty of different socceroos jerseys, enough for each day of the week. \:d/ \:d/

The China coach should be thanking the state of the surface - Saudis are and were the better footballing team.

Did the flooding a few years back do significant damage that hasn't been repaired? Seems odd. Yeah thats part of it. 2011 floods pretty much ruined the drainage under the turf. Sharing it with the Broncos and Reds shouldn't matter fuk all either, cause I remember that pitch looking immaculate all year round years back, it didn't matter that their was so much usage. Regardless, stadium management needs to be held accountable for the current state its in. Patchy as fuk. Completely unacceptable.

Was a definite yellow! Yet, there they carry on about the studs up challenge by the SK player a bit later. If anything SK robbed of another yellow against SA, in a game where the Saudi's sought to rightly manipulate their superiority in strength and physicality. But despite this, China coped surprisingly well with this - which was very important and contributed to their earning this win. Their improved organisation under Perrin is a big factor in their improved performance. Edited by GloryPerth: 10/1/2015 10:27:41 PM

wouldn't it be great for asian football if china could become a force on the pitch they should change thier name to 'the sleeping dragon'.. Well if I have it right, the origin of that turn of phrase does come or is inspired, by that part of the world? :p So, could this be so,  :p

Despite Hazazi spitting it a bit, they're interviewing him now, he looks a bit sad about it and actually looks like a a pretty decent bloke. Nothing like Al Shamrini

Watching the Arabic stream. Arabs smacking and yelling 'HALAL AL HALA MEHH HAL' on the glass behind the presenters set. lol Main presenter in Arab clothing getting annoyed. If that was Bosnich he'd be laughing. Fox or someone can they cut these people off from getting up to the box where the Arabs are doing there TV Edited by highkick05: 10/1/2015 10:02:57 PM

433 - I think they are already one of our biggest tourist markets anyway, a few more wouldn't hurt? :p
I think after this win - it should be incumbent on them to show up now. They were always expected to have half decent support from atleast the local Chinese community anyway, but if they do surprise and go further than expected then the Chinese support needs to respond in-kind!
