THe ref took his decision in a millisecond. At that time we did not know better. The problem is that the the ref can't watch the replay like we can

Yet we trial video refs in a nothing game on Friday rather than this weeks WC Play Offs

Been the better team, but maybe lucky to still have 11 on the field, and that is simply an outrageous call in the circumstances. 

It’s almost reminiscent of the referee performance Holland v England in 93

Sweden did well yesterday vs Italy 1-0. The goal was a deflection. Sweden, a hard working team with a good defence. Good result for us but still one game left in Milano. They have the better players but we are good as a team.

Would be a massive upset to knock out Italy. Their qualifying record is up there with Brazil and Germany I think.

Australia drew 0-0 in Honduras so should be favourites for the second leg. Bailey played the 90 and should have had a penalty after being cleaned out by the keeper. The ref gave it then changed his mind.

I’m not surprised. It was obviously a dive..!

It was held in Sweden wasn`t it? Also the last time Wales qualified I think.

16 nations qualified for the 1958 World Cup; four from South America, four from East Europe, four from West Europe and all four Home Nations. England & Scotland went out in the Group Stage. Wales & NI in the quarter finals.

John Atyeo played in most of England's qualifying games to get there, scoring in each game. His most important goal cane in the last minute of the final game to secure England's place in Sweden. And that was the last time JA played for England. :facepalm:

Just searched 'Bailey Wright' on Twitter to see how he got on last night for Australia. An awful lot of criticism online about his performance, saying he's slow, terrible on the ball, can't find a yellow shirt with a pass etc. 

I've been impressed with him this season, especially as he's been filling in at right back most of the time. Maybe he's just getting sucked down to the level set by some of his team mates (thought Australia looked awful against Syria) or perhaps he's uncomfortable in the system that they play. Hmmm...

Bailey Wright on his way back from Honduras yesterday. Qantas chartered a direct jet back to Australia, exclusively for the team and their coaching staff. Economy was set up as a treatment room.

This is a device that mimics daylight and transitions the players back to the Australian time zone without jet lag. The net gain of all of this is the Australian team will arrive in Sydney fully revived and over 24 hours before the Honduran team who had to fly commercial economy with quite a few stop overs.

The second leg is on Wednesday night in Sydney.

Amazing what happens behind the scenes isn`t it? Can we get them to do the same to get Bailey back to Bristol after the game too?:P
