View Full Version : Oz v Uzbekistan 2pm

2 pm kick off UK time, and the media reckon Milligan is a certainty to start and MacLaren a probability, although the return to fitness of Matthew Leckie of Hertha Berlin could see a change up front.

Its sudden death now, so an Oz defeat could see a quick return to Edinburgh for two of our players.

Although....speculation is continuing out here that Melbourne City are very keen on bringing Jamie back to Oz, as they are in dispute with their 'Marquee' striker, Bruno Fornalori who they are desperate to unload after having him sit on the sidelines on a big fat contract for several weeks now, after he fell out with the coach.

Wouldn't surprise me if a deal was concluded when Oz exit the tournament......nothing concrete I must stress, just rumours.

Uzbekistan have never beaten Oz, but they have run into a bit of form, and this one should go down to the wire.

Knowing absolutely nothing about this country, I looked it up on Wikipedia.

TBH, it looks a bit dire, as it's about 95% desert with extreme temperatures, vast distances between places of interest and a people with a reputation for being dour and insular.

















I think I'll go and read up on Uzbekistan now....

Half time 0-0

Uzbekistan clearly betterside so far.

Oz very tentative in midfield, and almost non existent in final third.

Milligan doing simple things ok, Jamie being Jamie...still looking for someone to set him up.

Don’t think Oz have had a shot.

Looking like our squad could be boosted by two for the weekend if they don’t get the finger out.

74 minute MacLaren subbed

Oz slightly less crap this half so far.

Aussies are the better team in the 2nd half - both teams look a bit short of quality in the final 1/3 though!!

PS its on Bien Sports 10 if you have access:wink:

So it is ..... though for whatever reason Bien 10 is a slightly better quality stream than 9 on my TV ....... extra time/ penalties beckons!!

Have to fancy Oz in second half, as they seem fitter.

Pretty crap game.

Leckie made a difference when he came on.

Extra time about to start.....be time for my milk round before this game ends!

Can see why Australia wanted Boyle.
Boring and uninspired.

In a piece of Scottish Cup folklore I recall the Burntisland substitute goalkeeper receiving some form of censure for having a cigarette while on the bench during an early round tie!

I wish I could share your confidence, but the following makes me think it will be different

1 UAE and Oz games are very close encounters at the best of times, and I think honours are close to evenly shared
2 This is an Oz squad in transition, and also weakened by injuries
3 Tommy Rogic, by far the most creative Oz threat is suspended
4 Last and not least, the tournament itself is being played in the UAE....and as has been proven in many instances over the years..that ‘home nation’ advantage can be significant.

But, you never know...Jamie might get a hat trick and Millsy dominate the midfield.....
