Yep, the friendly tournament out of the way. Back to deciding who will win a toilet seat.

Id expect to see Ngbakoto starting this one. Interesting to see if Krpic can actually finish something with some decent crosses.

Rick, a social conscience is like a garden shed: you try and eat it, it'll stick in your throat.

Forget pre-drinks. Get pre game ice cream from the lighthouse ice cream truck, Levendi or Harbour seafood

I usually get fish n chips down by the harbour and an ice cream. Levendi is the one I went too last time I think.

Go to the Illawarra Brewery. Great view, great atmosphere, right near the ground.

Yengi dropped or possibly picked up a late injury?

[ZachMercer]

We're about to find out whether the 3rd kit is cursed.

[MathyouWSW]

Geez, the ground lsn't looking good.

[mack]

Pitch looks like it's had sheep grazing on it for a month.

[ZachMercer]

We look rusty.

[Smoggy]

Look like we are still in break mode, wake up!

[mack]

Both teams looking slow, Nix marginally better.

All this talk about leveraging the World Cup for football in Australia, and the league serves up a cattle run and a camera angle at drone height. SMH.

[mack]

What a save that is.

[MathyouWSW]

it saves like that it makes you wonder how on earth did Lawrence Thomas did not get called up to the Socceroos squad.

Brilliant save
