Club World Championship

Well, it'd have to belong here since it involves an Australian club.

Adelaide United take on NZ part-timers Waitakere United tonight for the right to a re-match with Gamba Osaka. On paper, this would look like a foregone conclusion even though Adelaide are without Cassio, Ognenovski and Diego who've fallen ill to a mystery virus :-X

Oh dear. Galekovic caught out off his line and Waitaker go up 1-0 after 34 mins.

 

[Redline]

And as they flash up the stat saying saying the Reds have had 65% of poessession, I looked at the scoreline, and then realised the Reds were taking their 7th corner of the night, when Mullen slams in a header from way fair way out. 1-1.

Mullen was open, and did a simple jump, not even very high, and belted the ball in.

galekovic is the only player for adelaide to touch the ball with his hands, when the ball come in for the frre kick after their goal he went to catch it in his chest, needs to put his hands up and catch or punch, he will always be a melbourne reject

 

[dbryant]

The key to Adelaide's goal was they swapped from an inswinger to an outswinger, which meant the Waitakere defender was moving towards goal and couldn't correct quickly enough, leaving Jamieson free near the edge of the 18-yard box. You could clearly say Reid at the cornern saying "change".

Sigh, still a crap game.

 

[northernspirit]

i think ive come up with a banner idea for adelaide

Always
Underperforms in
Finals and
Cups

 

[Redline]

Krishna, is a stand out for Waitakere though. Fast, seems to have good vision, passing game would be good I think if he had people who could receive.

 

[tyler8]

if u had to choose a adelaide player to sign for us who would it be? we are good for left backs but jameson is a good player

 

[Redline]

Sarkies has some great speed, cristiano seems to have good vision as does Mullen. Dodd of course is good.

Mullen should have put that 2nd header away. And Bales yellow was a lazy professional foul. The WU keeper, Richard Gillespie  has been impressive as well, and knows exactly where he wants his walls to stand on FKs.

 

[Redline]

Travis Dodd got the second. It took them long enough, but they finally got the 2nd. It was of a free kick.

EDIT. Full time was 2-1. They play Gamba Osaka on Sunday night. I didn't hear what time though.

Dodd.

Not that we need him to fill a specific gap, but would have been a good replacement for Elrich?

 

[David Votoupal]

They had to do without 3 key players which is going to dent anyone, but there has to be a massive improvement to have a chance against Gamba.

 

[serious14]

Costanzo.  Without a doubt.

 

[~Floss~]

Given our current needs, agreed - Can't-standz-ya.
