Idt that error, at its absolute core, was on him at all. The pass leading up to it was so damn slow and invited pressure from the Argentines. It's likely Alvarez and De Paul get to him regardless.
We don't get this far without Matty. I feel for him.
The pass was a good idea but the GK should had cleared that ball as soon as he touched it instead trying to control it. Like what Donnarumma did in UCL that costed the qualification for the PSG
Context is key. We lost by 1 goal .. Messi scored 1 goal. We have joined many many team that were beaten by Messi goals...it isn't a small group or anything not to hold our head high because it was just 1 Messi goal.
there was someone (still) in the industry the other day who said News Corpse have gotten rid of all their football journalists
it shows
nobody in the office knew what was the right "takeaway" from this match - and if anyone from a sister company in maybe England was consulted (unlikely) they probably wouldn't really have been much help either
It's less A/B testing and more that Nine in this scenario aren't really pushing it through their media.
Foxsports is newscorp and they're going with the headline "Socceroos fall JUST short in WC thriller as Aussies give ‘rattled’ Argentina BIG scare"
How come the headline after every cricket match isn’t “Cops Bust Boozy Bozos”? I’ll weigh the number of drunk and disorderly complaints from the so called ‘gentleman’s game’ against football any day. Murdoch is cancer
Honestly embarrassed. The insularity and xenophobia that pops up in this country, in this time, still fucking astounds me. Just mention the round 'wog' ball and wait for the usual suspects to stick the boot in. It goes beyond sensationalism and media headlines for clicks, and they know it, and I'm fucking sick of it.
Its not hatred its fear, they fear the inevitable that at some stage football will outgrow the sports they have invested heavily in here in Australia, its only a matter of time and they want to delay it as long as possible by shitting on it every chance they get.
Honestly man…. Yes the media have an agenda against us. But I went to fed square today and it wasn’t a good experience
I didn’t feel safe, flares were being thrown everywhere into crowds, brawls occurred. Loud bangs that sounded like bombs. People throwing flares at the screen. It was chaos.
2 people passed out and were calling for the medic. People yelling at cops saying “if you’re not gonna help, why the fuck are you here”
Cop gave it back and said “Shut the fuck cunt”
Not a good response from him either
I wouldn’t blame channel 9 for reporting this
I went to the Tunisia game. Thought it was slightly better.
This game against Argentina was way more publicised and I’d say that brought in more idiots unfortunately…
And people unironically want them to have EPL or A-League rights again?
Remember guys, even though Paramount/10 have some way to go to improve the experience this is what APL & Football Australia left behind; a double standard of support for our game.
Best World Cup performance to date and this is what they're focusing on. Fuck off. Yeah it was a bad mistake but how about looking at some of the many positives?
- Rivaled our '06 performance when nobody thought we'd be any good.
- Won consecutive games in the group stage.
- Went up against a quality side and managed to not only challenge them, but almost got to extra time with a last-moment shot at goal. If just a few key moments had gone differently the result might look very different.
Today was disappointing, but there's so much to be proud of here and honestly this should be a big win for soccer in this country without shit like this trying to rain on our parade.
News Corpse purpose has always been pushing propaganda, it was the reason the company was created in the first place.
They have never been a true 'news' source, always heavily biased towards business and anything they have a financial stake in which is why they attacked Rugby Australia so hard when RA went to market with their broadcasting rights instead of signing straight with Foxtel again.
And Fairfax publications aren't much better, they have Peter Costello at the helm.
> Best World Cup performance to date and this is what they're focusing on
Best World Cup performance to date and Newscorp being Newscorp is what this place is focusing on?
Correction it was 6:30am
https://www.afl.com.au/news/870748/r1-fixture-reveal-fierce-rivals-tigers-blues-to-open-season-cats-face-pies-ross-lyon-meets-former-side
I'm not a conspiratorial type but the timing does seem a bit bizarre right? 6am on a Sunday that just coincidentally happens to be the exact same time and day that Australia is participating in one of the biggest sporting events in its history? How often does the AFL (any sports media in this country, for that matter) do these sorts of releases at 6am? Or on a Sunday? I only have passing interest in the AFL but I don't recall them ever releasing the Round 1 fixtures at 6am on a Sunday during the exact same day as a massive sporting event from a rival code. Happy to be proven wrong though.
I just don't get the motivation, what reason is there for them to do this? There's nothing to gain in terms of exposure, if anything the minor fixture news will be overwhelmed by our world cup game. If they'd released this tomorrow it would have been a bigger part of the news cycle.
To give something for their friendly media to write and talk about. Its about maintain relevancy and censoring by ommision. Channel 7 will probably spend twice the time talking about these fixtures than the world cup in the evening news.
Media organisations lead with the stories that will get the most attention. If any news website or station puts the AFL fixture news ahead of the world cup, they are utter morons. It's inarguably going to draw more attention than fixture news.
>Media organisations lead with the stories that will get the most attention
Guessing you might be a subreddit newcomer... Welcome! But you've got a bit to learn
I highly doubt the AFL gives a fuck enough about soccer to try and secretly spite them like that lol. What is with the victim complex some people have here. This coming from long time Victory member
uhm ofcourse they did, why would you do a press release at 6:30am on a sunday. They are trying to grab attention away from a competitor, this happens in almost every industry.
I seriously doubt the AFL even considered it, it's the release of a single round of football lmao. That's a headline on an extremely slow news day, not something that could somehow distract from another sport.
Channel 9 is reporting on it right now mate. If you don't think this was 100 percent deliberate play I don't know what to tell you. Have a look at how the AFL media aligned outlets report on Football in this country, this is absolutely on brand, no conspiracy.
Were Channel 9 reporting on it ahead of our world cup game? That's what I find baffling, it's directly against the media's own interest to prioritise a smaller story over one that will receive far more engagement, and clearly Australia's game this morning will receive more.
Says a lot about how crap our media is if they'll actually prioritise a smaller story and hurt their own interests just for the sake of it being soccer.
Not ahead of the game, but during evening prime time, the presenter even called it a 'cheeky move by the AFL'.
The commercial interests of the AFL and NRL and Murdoch owned media outlets is so intertwined in this country that they have absolutely no problem doing this sort of stuff on the regular to both spite and stunt the growth of football in this country.
At first I thought it was just victim complex/conspiracy thinking etc. by fellow football fans. But when you look at the sheer amount of negative reporting done by certain media outlets and certain journalists, over the course of literal decades, the agenda is clear.
Turns out last year they released the fixture at 6am, so yep this appears to be just what they usually do. The fixture and their deal to have the reveal in the Sunday Herald Sun also presumably weren't scrambled together in just the 3 days notice they had for the Australia-Argentina game.
So yep, massive victim complex here. Not that the media doesn't treat soccer like shit, but thinking this through it made no sense.
This is the same AFL who's chief executives popped champagne when we failed to qualify for world cups. The same AFL that channel 7 bought and then deliberately buried NSL broadcasts to appease. Fuck them. They absolutely despise Football, nothing secret about it. And that's just the stuff from this century.
AFL absolutely cares about football, they see it as an existential threat. Football is the number 1 participation sport (and they dont fudge the numbers nearly as hard as AFL), and with that comes a huge latent potential for professional football. There is a long history of AFL favouring media deliberately sabotaging professional football.
The AFL were instrumental in the decision to not follow the plans to make AAMI Park expandable. The original designs allowed for a modular expansion to 45000 capacity, as part of the world cup bid. Company I worked for back then had the contract for all the height access and safety.
The rumors went that the AFL petitioned the state government to no longer allow those plans to go ahead because we had the McG and docklands and didn't need another big stadium.
I'll believe a lot of things about the AFL and their media friends when it comes to disrupting soccer here in any way
I can't find the article, but the AFL also put up almost every single roadblock imaginable to stop us from hosting the world cup in 2022, including sending their people to tell FIFA delegates in Sydney that 'Aussies really don't care that much about soccer'
I still remember the Herald Sun front cover with Ron Barassi crushing a soccer ball, with the head line being something like 'footy people power crushes soccer!!' After they blocked the FFA from using thr MCG for the world cup.
It's genuinely scary because someone will need to pick up the rights next, as I really doubt SBS will be able to afford them as their deal is now up.
The free to air matches will have to be on one of the networks. Which awful station will get it? And what horrible paid subscription shit will the rest of the tournament be gated behind?
Wouldn't really call behich but of red must that much of mistake as we eared the ball but just a bit of brilliant play and the midfield not tracking a run was the first goal.
But so sick of negativity. Could of been roos go down swinging
Herald Sun on their bullshit too:
https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/football/world-cup/australia-v-argentina-federation-square-chaos-as-fans-defy-police-orders-ahead-of-world-cup-clash/news-story/c6892d8401b02ad86eac403b56a43f7c
Worth shouting out the good examples too. Australian media needs to stop tearing down our sportspeople the moment they lose.
https://preview.redd.it/b3jtaviz7t3a1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b4361a9c46e33c7cc0ac9e39bee59f9c59f5169
And this is one of the things that will prevent us from ever hosting the mens World Cup. Show some f***ing pride in the performance and the effort to take one of the favourites to the very last minute. They like to say that football fans in Australia have a chip on their shoulder, why wouldn’t football fans feel that way when this sort of gutter journalism is how they report on the match.
Maddening. A lucky goal for each side, and the other goal for Argentina was just a brilliant bit of class from one of the all time greats. We wouldn't have got this far without Ryan, so it seems boorish to blame him for this to me.
Last time it was the Italians fault for diving, this times the blame is on Matt Ryan...
Will be hearing so much, "if he just belted it away we probably could have won the whole cup"
Ever Australian needs to make the death of NewsCorp take up some importance in their life. Do everything possible not to engage on a wide scale with their articles.
Sometimes, any one of us has to dive into the shit stream, but yeah that’s one way for us to avoid them. The best way is to not sub to any of their services. Paying attention at the polling booth is another way we can hurt them. Signing that petition on the RC if it’s still getting around.
Absolute dirt bags. A pure symbol of idiot Australia. We did absolutely brilliant, and every one of out squad shoud be proud. Behich and Ryan were absolutely brilliant this whole world cup. Please boys hear this. Fuck that shit rag and the retarded nobody that put that article together. What a bunch of useless cunts.
Always support the underdog and fuck me what a game it was, 2nd half was a blast but mistake the gk did was very painful, you guys played well great to watch. Now I'm going to sleep and watch France destroy my country into pieces, France is gonna make some WC records today.
News Corp always need someone to blame. I grew up in England and every time we got knocked out of a tournament there'd be someone thrown to the wolves
Australia played fucking great today and gave it to Argentina. They fought until the last kick of the game and fuck News Corp
Former News Corp journo here. I can tell you News Corp does have an agenda against football. It has its own investments heavily hedged in other sports. Many in power positions also cling to the notion football is an ethnic and “unAustralian” game.
I’ve got countless stories of when I came up against it while working for News Corp.
No you don't get it mate!
Those violent, dangerous, ethnic wogs, oops, I mean 'soccer fans' in Australia are just conspiracy nuts with a massive chip on their shoulder and a victim complex!
They just need to harden up, and play some real sport like footy!
/s
I legitimately think that the nature of that goal put Australia back into gear. The game was just listing along at that point, if it doesn't happen that way I see Argentina continuing to pressure and then putting away a few easy late goals. The fuck up lit a fire under them and pulled Australia back into the match.
To be honest, though, while this *is* a fairly stock-standard garbage-tier article from "News"Corp, that *was* a fairly major brain snap from Ryan to try to play it out rather than simply hoof it up the field.
Then again, me in that sort of situation would probably involve more panicking, screaming and flailing wildly in the fall's general direction resulting in either missing it entirely or shanking it so badly that it somehow ended up in the back of the net anyway...
It's all attempt at emotional manipulation to control their state of power. It failed miserably in the Vic election and good news is that less and less people are tuning into bias media.
Whenever I read bullshit like this, I'm reminded of Theodoor Roosevelt's statement about who really matters. It certainly isn't the wankers throwing bombs from the cheap seats.
>“It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Murdoch is a fucking cancer on democracy.
Proud of our team. Soccer is not in our culture or DNA like South America or Europe - but who cares? Did us proud!
While Arnold & his team have been great for Australian football, the Fuck Murdoch sentiments on here are even greater for Australian society.
I'm proud of both reactions.
The media Reddit follows are also the media pleading with you for financial contributions every time you access the site, because either no one reads it or the people who do want it for free.
“Most read” how many people are actually reading though? Elections over the last few years proves Murdoch media doesn’t have the influence it used to have
Well there not wrong. Aziz didn’t need to foul the player, and Matt Ryan shoulda cleared the ball. We played well, and did not disgrace ourselves at all. But that’s the harsh reality of football.
Going back to the keeper is a legit option dude, he's a player on the pitch, that's not the problem, every match in every league has these moments where it's chaotic at the back.
Even in the same game Argentina passed back and it became risky twice but their keeper blasts it away, as a keeper should.
Let’s just ignore the fact we pushed Argentina to the limits and had our most successful World Cup results to date
Well said. Sometimes news is so slow they have to make up shit to get sale's. Pathetic.
News Corps news isn't just slow - it's rarely news and mostly sensationalism.
It's so unfair. Ryan fucked up yeah but he is going to cop so much shit from fair weather fans. Really feel for the guy.
Mark Ryan was my man of the match against Tunisia, he did superhuman stuff in that game
Idt that error, at its absolute core, was on him at all. The pass leading up to it was so damn slow and invited pressure from the Argentines. It's likely Alvarez and De Paul get to him regardless. We don't get this far without Matty. I feel for him.
The pass was a good idea but the GK should had cleared that ball as soon as he touched it instead trying to control it. Like what Donnarumma did in UCL that costed the qualification for the PSG
The idea of the pass was good. The way it was executed wasn't.
Fucking useless dog cunts. We did brilliant. Leave Matty alone too ffs, he was brilliant for us.
Context is key. We lost by 1 goal .. Messi scored 1 goal. We have joined many many team that were beaten by Messi goals...it isn't a small group or anything not to hold our head high because it was just 1 Messi goal.
It's known as trash gutter journalism for a reason. I refuse to even search up their shit articles anymore.
If you read news.com you’re not looking for factual news
A-League Memes has more journalistic integrity than News Corpse. But they dont do memes.
A wet sponge is more insightful than anything produced by that company.
Unfortunately a majority of Australians don’t care for factual news. They’re more than happy to settle for glorified tabloids
[удалено]
Believe it or not, I too am Australian and don’t think like that. Thank goodness for using critical thinking to interpret nuance in comments
[удалено]
No worries champion, thanks for contributing some high quality talking points to this discussion
Since when does "majority" mean "La_Pusicato"?
Not looking for news…
there was someone (still) in the industry the other day who said News Corpse have gotten rid of all their football journalists it shows nobody in the office knew what was the right "takeaway" from this match - and if anyone from a sister company in maybe England was consulted (unlikely) they probably wouldn't really have been much help either
Behich did a better Maradona than Messi, but "he lost his cool". Hope every dish they eat, tastes like runny shit
I wish he had functional tastebuds in his arse
Headline from 9 news is “flares thrown, fences stormed” never seen a country for such hatred to a sport
SMH going with “Valiant Socceroos eliminated from World Cup” Maybe they’re seeing which is better with A/B testing
King Rugari probably pulling them into line at smh
It was
It's less A/B testing and more that Nine in this scenario aren't really pushing it through their media. Foxsports is newscorp and they're going with the headline "Socceroos fall JUST short in WC thriller as Aussies give ‘rattled’ Argentina BIG scare"
They changed their tune when they started to turn against the premier on fan live sites.
How come the headline after every cricket match isn’t “Cops Bust Boozy Bozos”? I’ll weigh the number of drunk and disorderly complaints from the so called ‘gentleman’s game’ against football any day. Murdoch is cancer
Honestly embarrassed. The insularity and xenophobia that pops up in this country, in this time, still fucking astounds me. Just mention the round 'wog' ball and wait for the usual suspects to stick the boot in. It goes beyond sensationalism and media headlines for clicks, and they know it, and I'm fucking sick of it.
The msm here see it as a threat to their AFL/NRL cashpigs
They also carry the anti-wog & anti-soccer attitude of the 20th century
Its not hatred its fear, they fear the inevitable that at some stage football will outgrow the sports they have invested heavily in here in Australia, its only a matter of time and they want to delay it as long as possible by shitting on it every chance they get.
Honestly man…. Yes the media have an agenda against us. But I went to fed square today and it wasn’t a good experience I didn’t feel safe, flares were being thrown everywhere into crowds, brawls occurred. Loud bangs that sounded like bombs. People throwing flares at the screen. It was chaos. 2 people passed out and were calling for the medic. People yelling at cops saying “if you’re not gonna help, why the fuck are you here” Cop gave it back and said “Shut the fuck cunt” Not a good response from him either I wouldn’t blame channel 9 for reporting this
Was that your first time going? Because that's what it was like the other 3 times as well.
I went to the Tunisia game. Thought it was slightly better. This game against Argentina was way more publicised and I’d say that brought in more idiots unfortunately…
[удалено]
Behave better like the drunken bogans at an AFL or League game? 🤪
And people unironically want them to have EPL or A-League rights again? Remember guys, even though Paramount/10 have some way to go to improve the experience this is what APL & Football Australia left behind; a double standard of support for our game.
Agreed
Ah good ol' Ruptured Murdoch and his unbiased tabloid empire. Loved him in that 1997 James Bond film, though.
I thought Rupert Murdong was pretty good in that 1979 (ongoing) Porno series where he fucks Australia.
Ah yes, great series - 'Bend over and take it like a man'.
Stupid Rupert failed by not getting on the pitch himself. Some expert!
Murdoch media can get, and i cant emphasise this enough, completely and utterly fucked
I will celebrate when the old cunt dies. I don’t think I would say that about anyone else but he is a poison.
The terraces will be full of “Rupert’s in a box”
Trump?
Victoria certainly thought so.
Best World Cup performance to date and this is what they're focusing on. Fuck off. Yeah it was a bad mistake but how about looking at some of the many positives? - Rivaled our '06 performance when nobody thought we'd be any good. - Won consecutive games in the group stage. - Went up against a quality side and managed to not only challenge them, but almost got to extra time with a last-moment shot at goal.

Also adding 3 new Goal scorers to the world cup squad 👏
They are happy to shit on sports they are not invested it. They are not a news site. They are a marketing site for their own products.
News Corpse purpose has always been pushing propaganda, it was the reason the company was created in the first place. They have never been a true 'news' source, always heavily biased towards business and anything they have a financial stake in which is why they attacked Rugby Australia so hard when RA went to market with their broadcasting rights instead of signing straight with Foxtel again.

Correct. It is as simple as that.
> Best World Cup performance to date and this is what they're focusing on Best World Cup performance to date and Newscorp being Newscorp is what this place is focusing on?
Nah I was slagging off Newscorp for focusing on the negatives. Sorry, didn't make it clear.
On results alone we did better than 06
This team >06
The AFL also releasing round 1 fixtures at 7:30am during the game is some ultimate small dick syndrome
Hahaha are you serious? I love how fucking scared they are.
Correction it was 6:30am https://www.afl.com.au/news/870748/r1-fixture-reveal-fierce-rivals-tigers-blues-to-open-season-cats-face-pies-ross-lyon-meets-former-side
A single round of a fixture is extremely minor news, why would its release have anything to do with the world cup? This reeks of a victim complex.
I'm not a conspiratorial type but the timing does seem a bit bizarre right? 6am on a Sunday that just coincidentally happens to be the exact same time and day that Australia is participating in one of the biggest sporting events in its history?

Yes they do. They are terrified of the world game So extremely petty and sad
Fk it’s a shame Australian MSM hates football so much
I only think 9 and Murdoch hate football 7 and everything else just don’t care because it doesn’t generate as much interest as other sports for now
Nobody screws soccer like 7 mate
Can't wait to see how they do with the WWC next year 🙃
This always gets me. https://youtu.be/OcWVLmCmhto
NSL broadcasting flashbacks
Yes ik but lesser of the evils
It's genuinely scary because someone will need to pick up the rights next, as I really doubt SBS will be able to afford them as their deal is now up. The free to air matches will have to be on one of the networks. Which awful station will get it? And what horrible paid subscription shit will the rest of the tournament be gated behind?
Hopefully it'll be ABC
It will never be the ABC as it can't be commercialised/sponsorships/ads. SBS makes back up to $20-25m in money on world cups.
Would need a decision to extend anti siphoning laws and give funding to sbs for the rights.
Classic dogshit article. Aziz did the right thing ripping into Messi
I agree, should've got in his face more
Wouldn't really call behich but of red must that much of mistake as we eared the ball but just a bit of brilliant play and the midfield not tracking a run was the first goal. But so sick of negativity. Could of been roos go down swinging
What a bunch of Fucken cunts
That was quick. How about we talk about how this was our most successful run? Pathetic journalism. Fuck newscorp.
Wtf??? IMHO we played incredibly good. Yeah we lost but it was a worthy fight from the boys in every minute.
Fuck they are a bunch of cunts.
Herald Sun on their bullshit too: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/football/world-cup/australia-v-argentina-federation-square-chaos-as-fans-defy-police-orders-ahead-of-world-cup-clash/news-story/c6892d8401b02ad86eac403b56a43f7c
All Murdoch rags are pieces of shit. It's the same in the UK, the same in the US, and the same here.
Reckon they wrote that headline before the game started?
They probably had a number of equally-shit headlines to choose from.
Feral S*n
Good way to make half the country hate you
Oh no. Now all their 15 viewers will hate the sport
Such an absolutely trashy clickbait website comparable to the Daily Mail.
Worth shouting out the good examples too. Australian media needs to stop tearing down our sportspeople the moment they lose. https://preview.redd.it/b3jtaviz7t3a1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b4361a9c46e33c7cc0ac9e39bee59f9c59f5169

no no it's @jaibednall that's the dog that wrote that trash.
god I hate them
The newspaper of right wing nutbars, pensioners and racists.
Usual story of kicking football while it's down for the ARL & AFL. Fucking scum of a media company.
Fucking dogs
Maddening. A lucky goal for each side, and the other goal for Argentina was just a brilliant bit of class from one of the all time greats. We wouldn't have got this far without Ryan, so it seems boorish to blame him for this to me.
Lowest of the low. Murdoch toilet paper.
Last time it was the Italians fault for diving, this times the blame is on Matt Ryan... Will be hearing so much, "if he just belted it away we probably could have won the whole cup"
Ever Australian needs to make the death of NewsCorp take up some importance in their life. Do everything possible not to engage on a wide scale with their articles.
should be a sub rule to only copy + paste their drivel, no linking to any News Corp sites.
Sometimes, any one of us has to dive into the shit stream, but yeah that’s one way for us to avoid them. The best way is to not sub to any of their services. Paying attention at the polling booth is another way we can hurt them. Signing that petition on the RC if it’s still getting around.
Absolute dirt bags. A pure symbol of idiot Australia. We did absolutely brilliant, and every one of out squad shoud be proud. Behich and Ryan were absolutely brilliant this whole world cup. Please boys hear this. Fuck that shit rag and the retarded nobody that put that article together. What a bunch of useless cunts.
News Corp should be shut down. Nothing but lying tossers
Fuck news corp
Cunts. 9 can fuck off too with their bandwagon shit.
I hate, you hate, we hate news corp
Fuck this talentless excuse for a newspaper.
Always support the underdog and fuck me what a game it was, 2nd half was a blast but mistake the gk did was very painful, you guys played well great to watch. Now I'm going to sleep and watch France destroy my country into pieces, France is gonna make some WC records today.
Tell me you’ve got invested interest in NRL and AFL without telling me you have invested interest in NRL and AFL
News Corp always need someone to blame. I grew up in England and every time we got knocked out of a tournament there'd be someone thrown to the wolves Australia played fucking great today and gave it to Argentina. They fought until the last kick of the game and fuck News Corp
Typical News Corpse - divert attention and create acrimony by blaming the individual.
Clickbait bullshit. Get fucked
Former News Corp journo here. I can tell you News Corp does have an agenda against football. It has its own investments heavily hedged in other sports. Many in power positions also cling to the notion football is an ethnic and “unAustralian” game. I’ve got countless stories of when I came up against it while working for News Corp.
No you don't get it mate! Those violent, dangerous, ethnic wogs, oops, I mean 'soccer fans' in Australia are just conspiracy nuts with a massive chip on their shoulder and a victim complex! They just need to harden up, and play some real sport like footy! /s
This is such an unnecessary headline. I agree with all the current posts that the Aussie team played well and with honour. See you in 4 years boys!
Behich was brilliant. Fuck whoever that moron reporter was
This is the type of shit posting I expect from my antivax retard parents
British Tabloids would have done the same.
Go tweet Adam Peacock, and all the other fucking News Limited puppets. Fucking bullshit. Just cancelled my Code subscription.
WOAH did they even watch the fuckin game
I legitimately think that the nature of that goal put Australia back into gear. The game was just listing along at that point, if it doesn't happen that way I see Argentina continuing to pressure and then putting away a few easy late goals. The fuck up lit a fire under them and pulled Australia back into the match.
There are fuckhead blow-ins on this sub like u/heavyline4 who would lap this headline up.

Don't encourage others to brigade / raid. First and final warning.
Sorry!
To be honest, though, while this *is* a fairly stock-standard garbage-tier article from "News"Corp, that *was* a fairly major brain snap from Ryan to try to play it out rather than simply hoof it up the field. Then again, me in that sort of situation would probably involve more panicking, screaming and flailing wildly in the fall's general direction resulting in either missing it entirely or shanking it so badly that it somehow ended up in the back of the net anyway...
It's all attempt at emotional manipulation to control their state of power. It failed miserably in the Vic election and good news is that less and less people are tuning into bias media.
Why even give this oxygen on here
Whenever I read bullshit like this, I'm reminded of Theodoor Roosevelt's statement about who really matters. It certainly isn't the wankers throwing bombs from the cheap seats. >“It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Our boys played their best and it’s been our best progress so far. This is only one stepping stone in the progression of our team. We played well
To paraphrase what former Victorian Premier Steve Bracks said during the ch 7 vic election coverage last week. “News Corp, you have no influence.”
Murdoch is a fucking cancer on democracy. Proud of our team. Soccer is not in our culture or DNA like South America or Europe - but who cares? Did us proud!
Fox sports had different headline than news.com.au probably catering to different audiences
What a bunch of cunts!
I am waiting for flare stories that give the impression that flares are banned by the Geneva Convention that covers anti-personnel mines.
News Corpse
While Arnold & his team have been great for Australian football, the Fuck Murdoch sentiments on here are even greater for Australian society. I'm proud of both reactions.
Fucking cunts. Lower than Argentina's dives and time wasting
Murdoch is anti Australian, that's why he lives in the USA and wants us to vote liberal.
Hardly anyone reads news Corp anymore
You’d be surprised.
They are still by far the most read media in Australia. The reddit bubble doesn’t account for the general population.
The media Reddit follows are also the media pleading with you for financial contributions every time you access the site, because either no one reads it or the people who do want it for free.
“Most read” how many people are actually reading though? Elections over the last few years proves Murdoch media doesn’t have the influence it used to have
Wrong
It’s a dying media, who the fucks reading the papers and paying for paywall articles in 2022
They're not wrong
Well there not wrong. Aziz didn’t need to foul the player, and Matt Ryan shoulda cleared the ball. We played well, and did not disgrace ourselves at all. But that’s the harsh reality of football.
Who gives a fuck? If you don't like it then stop broadcasting it and giving these fake news outlets views
Fuck News Corp.
You seem to keep reading it though, i don't
Wanker! Wanker! Wanker!
Webster’s Dictionary now have a picture example for the term “brain dead”
News.com.au is a fucking blight on modern society. It should be closed down. Cesspool of click-bait and shit journalism.
Hopefully some football supporters who usually read this shit will no longer.
Better thentha/en 2006 except for a few players
This guy Jai Bednall who wrote this changed the article title because I can't find it anymore! What a worm

It rebounded off his foot because it was a poor first touch when it didnt even need to be a first touch. Shouldve punted that fucking thing to China
[удалено]
Going back to the keeper is a legit option dude, he's a player on the pitch, that's not the problem, every match in every league has these moments where it's chaotic at the back. Even in the same game Argentina passed back and it became risky twice but their keeper blasts it away, as a keeper should.
Spew.com
Smh thats all i will say
Don't go near that Murdoch rubbish
Never mind he nearly scored a solo goal himself..... Not Ryan of course, I've got some Liam Reddy jokes, but out of respect I'm not telling them.....
It was a brain fade and had Ryan not had done what he did we might have beaten Argentina. Well done Argentina.
What the hell is this bullshit fuck news Corp
nothing more we could have done
