    ok cool. THey are saying we are now eliminated 

    No we aren’t eliminated, the commentators mentioned late in the game we have to win by 13 or more. USA will definately beat Brazil. I can’t see us winning let alone by that score. That was our worst shooting percentage performance since 1998! Brick after brick on so many open looks.

    Let's just say Greece defeats USA, USA defeats Brazil, both Brazil and Greece defeat Czech Republic. 
    On head-to-head, each team would have 9 points, which two would qualify? 

     

    It goes to points differential I think. So we beat Montenegro by 25, lost to Brazil by 1, beat NZ by 6...that makes us +30 currently, in the event of us and Brazil finishing on the same wins then it would come into play, ideally you would have preferred to best NZ by more than 6. As it stands our points differential is better then Brazil I think.

    Or Greece can just take matters in their own hands and Beat USA, Brasil and Turkey and then we go through

     

    We don’t play Brazil again, we play USA and Turkey, if we beat both we need one of them to beat Brazil, if we lose to the US and beat Turkey (more likely scenario) we will need Turkey to beat Brazil. As it stands the US and Brazil will be 3-0 whilst us and Turkey will likely be 2-1. The loss to Brazil carries into the next group phase, so we need other results to favour us, that’s how crushing this loss was.

    In the meantime we need to crush NZ to get our points differential up just in case that becomes the tie breaker, not holding my breath our offence has been atrocious.

    In all likelyhood we are gonna have to beat the US and Turkey to advance, one win from those 2 is still likely to leave us short.

  4. So Van Schip, Valkanis and Winter?

    2 coaches who could barely cut it in the Australian league and Winter from memory who had a laughable stint in his only senior role in mls.

    dont get me wrong I love Valkanis and his family from Melbourne but this is rock bottom, they may as well be picking randoms off the street.

  5. It use to be comical when Van Schip was coaching in Melbourne how often his teams would conceed goals in the last 10 mins, his style of play is boring, that’s fine by me, but he isn’t the one that’s going to stop the leaks.

  6. Van Schip coached here in Melbourne for a number of years, this is a terrible appointment, he did nothing here, left to go coach a team in Mexico where he was fired and received death threats from that teams supporters, he returned to Melbourne to coach the same team only this time they were under the ownership of the city football group (man city) and he proceeded to do very little again.

    cant believe how low the bar has been set.

  7. Nadal played incredibly well to be fair.

    Big year ahead for Stef. It was a fun 2 weeks here, took us back to the mid 2000s with euro/baghdatis type scenes.

    I believe Tsitsipas is the real deal. But its no coincidence his 2 best performances have come in Melbourne and Toronto where he received a lot of Greek support and he even commented that both tournaments felt like he was playing in Athens. He really feeds off the fans so when he comes to play in your city make sure you all come out in force, particularly later this yr at the montreal masters and the US Open at flushing meadows.
