  • Aaron Mooy scores on Socceroo Debut

    mack

    By mack

    Aaron Mooy was selected in the starting line up for the Socceroos match vs Guam.

     

    He then proceeded to score his first ever international goal, his second in a senior competitive match with a well taken free kick.

     

    In the 54th minute he unleashed a perfect through-ball that enabled Eli Babalj to make the score 4-0 in favour of Australia.

     

    The goal and assist is justification for those confused and angry at Mooy being left on the bench for the opening two matches against Hong Kong and North Korea, and will be further fuel to his elevation to the full national team setup.

     

    Mooy hit the post on another free kick, then missed two golden chances. The first had a Guam defender just knock the ball from his feet as he was about to strike, the second was a chip cleared off the line when Mooy perhaps should have blasted it home.

     

    Despite the missed chances Australia won the match 9-0 and Mooy was arguably the man of the match. This puts them in a good position to qualify, the group will end in a goal difference shootout, as long as Australia who play Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) can better the result of North Korea who play Hong Kong.

    As far as Mooy's 2 "misses" go: The first one was poked away by a defender and the second he had no choice but to dink it as the Guam keeper had closed him down. Should have hit both of them sooner, no excuses for that though I'd imagine he would've if he hadn't got the ball stuck under his body.

    Made me happy to see the interplay between Rogic and Mooy. Both have been fantastic in this game.

    THIS! x10000000

     

    The future of the national team right there.

    And when I mean future, I mean tomorrow.

    I didnt see the match but it warms my heart knowing that Rogic and Mooy played well together. I always had the feeling watching their games that those two together would be a perfect match. Now all we need to do is get Rogic in a  Wanderers jersey :))

    Mooy was arguably the best on the pitch, Rogic and Mooy together are crazy and work really well. Rogic in play is nuts, he just needs to shoot with conviction or know when to, and he will be a machine.

     

    Both will be in the full time squad in no time.

    Only if we had Rojas as well.

    Mooy might not be able to finish in open play but he just scored another ripper of a free kick

    That would've been a goal against just about anyone

      I just thought since he played last season under Stajcic, Majekodunmi might link up with him again since he is the one that started Majekodunmi's career in the A-League. Majekodunmi has only played 1 game this season where Zdrilic had him as a right back. The kid is a centre back so he didn't adjust to being a right back. Since then, he's hasn't been selected into the squad.

      Because sometimes they launch 50m bombs over the opposition GK if they angry enough at being frozen out   But no seriously, I'm with you. I dont want rejects. I want to steal the ones they want to keep. And specifically Majekodunmi has been the CB thats set a horrible unwanted record for the worst home defence ever in the first 3 games. Strong pass. Pelekanos has shown reason to be considered as depth there. If we have budget, we should be looking at a senior CB
