Episode 93 – 15/06/23 #SickFlow

The New York game, the De Ro testimonial, the World Cup, the World Cup qualifiers, the Montreal game and the DC game. There was a loooooot to talk about this week as well as the usual features and nonsense, and we actually managed to get it all into 1 hour 19 minutes! I’m impressed with us.  Mark misses this one (hamstring) leaving Tony to showcase his knowledge of the Women’s game. Kristin takes inspiration from the...

WWC 2015: Group stage review, round of 16 preview

Alright then, almost 2 weeks in, everyone’s had a lot of fun (yes you have Ecuador! stop crying!), there’s been 36 games, a just about small enough to be respectable amount of blowouts, the odd surprise here and there, and after all that, we’ve got rid of 8 of the 24 teams. Yay. Now it’s on to the knockout stages, win or go home, extra time, penalties and all that drama, but first a quick review of how we got...

Friday started off with Australia vs Nigeria. The Aussies opened the scoring with a very well taken goal from Simon after de Vanna had a long run before passing it off. It should have been offside if the Nigerians were in any way able to maintain a disciplined defensive line, but still, they did well to take advantage of that. Their second goal was even more hapless defending wise, some of them moved up, some of them didn’t and...

So then, Soccer day in Canada was a bit of a let down yesterday wasn’t it? I’ll start briefly with the men’s side of things. First off, thanks to Gavin Day for bringing us a stream to watch in the first place, that more or less held up for the whole game, but also for doing a very good job with the commentating given the game didn’t really give him all that much to work with. Tesho Akindele played and is now...

Thursday’s action started with Germany and Norway, I didn’t see much of it, but the result is definitely a surprise, 1-1, good for Norway and a very nice equaliser direct from a free kick. The Germans picked up another injury to a midfielder that they’ll be hoping isn’t serious, but will still have enough to beat Thailand and the goal difference advantage they have should hold up. Norway have now got to be...
