Olympic Football
Olyroos Get a Lucky Point
On Thursday night the Football tournament started the night before the official opening ceremony. And our Olyroos kicked it off with a match against first timers, Serbia. The score ended up 1-1 which is obviously better than losing.
Tonight we take on defending Olympic champions, Argentina and the heir apparent to Maradonna, Lionel Messi. If we play like we did on Thursday night then it will be no contest and the Argentinians will walk all over us. The make up of this team has been widely criticized by the Australian Football media and Fans alike. However we are there now and must do what we can with what we have.
I thought Adam Federici, Jade North and Mathew Sporanovic were our best players with good performances by Carney in the 2nd half and our goal scorer Ruben Zadkovic. We lacked cohesion and gave the ball away too many times. Nicholas Topor Stanley had a shocker. He was MIA whenever the Serbs attacked.
We will have to be on our game tonight and I hope Arny gets the team and the tactics right. 7pm our time, and hopefully LIVE on 7.
Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.
Cheers

The Argentina team were pretty impressive. We had our chances to win I reckon – lack of a quality finisher finished us.
