Lucky to hold them to nil. Could've easily copped a penalty, Jordan missing sitter with 3 players unmarked at the back post, very few attacks in the 2nd half

Our first win in Jordan so i’m content with an ugly win. The next qualifying round is the big test.

FA CEO Johnson spearheads bid to host June World Cup hub | The World Game

Football Australia is lobbying the AFC and federal government in a bid to land hosting rights for a FIFA World Cup qualification hub on home soil in June, as chief executive James Johnson looks to maximise national team exposure after 16 months in coronavirus-induced limbo.

Socceroos sweat on hosting WC hub or face worst-case forfeit fear

Socceroos boss steps up his calls for government to help with setting up a quarantine hub for World Cup qualifiers, warns of forfeit fear nightmare.

could CCS be used as part of the proposed hub

 

[pjennings]

It will be tricky in the middle of League season and the end of the A-League but if NSW held the hub you would think Stadium Australia, BankWest, CCS and McDonald Jones would be the likely venues. It would really have to be in 1 state. Players won't be released until 30-31st May and it needs to be wrapped up by 15th June.

8 games left - 4 stadiums

MD1 - Wednesday 2nd June
MD2 - Saturday 5th June
MD3 - Wednesday 9th June
MD4 - Sunday 13th June (long weekend)

You would hope that the vaccine rollout had progressed so that the stadiums could be at least 70% full

The only way this has a chance of working is if there is a promise of no quarantine. It would be horribly unfair if we could field a squad without quarantine disruption (an all A league side would dodge it) but expect other teams to play away and after two weeks in a hotel.

You can still operate in a bubble but not under the normal quarantine process we have now.

 

[pjennings]

As long as we don't forfeit AND we qualify for the next round I will be happy.
