    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Australia v Japan - Corners

Excellent corners by Nakamura and Carle. Why can't we do that? Seems you get it up high with plenty of bend on it - mayhem in the box.

Nakamura didnt even play.

ROFL

and we are talking about a level of football that is superior to the a-league so any comparison doesn't wash

I think a comparison can be made as it is a basic technique of football. It is something you practice over and over so there should be no excuses for our inability to get even 50% of corners in the right area.

Yes that's who he's talking about. He may not be a great expert but he can read a team sheet.
Sure this is a higher level than A-League but it is kicking a ball, something you'd expect footballers to be good at. Didn't a Mariners player kick a corner out of play before it reached the box against Tianjin?
