ROMANIA VS AUSTRALIA: GROUP A, WORLD CUP


Today we have the hosts of the 2022 WC, Australia.



Hello Mooy!

It’s raining and in the low 50s for today’s game.



I’ll take Fast Scores for 200, Alex! I have not injured anyone, but they make a sub in the 13th minute. Odd. We have some pressure in the next few minutes, but nothing comes. Australia have a counter stopped. We stop a big push by them as they do us. Screciu with a card in the 30s. We have been in control of this game, we just need another shot or two to sink and show it. I don’t want to go into the half down a score and then they make changes and move past us.



Apparently Ivan had the same idea! Half, 2-0 us. Don’t get complacent. I send in Balasa for my carded player. So far, as expected, the 2nd half has been Australia. I have multiple players out there that despite my retain possession, slow tempo, short passing are just passing the ball over others and giving up possession. I sub out Man who is the biggest offender, for Petre. They get a card, pull the guy, and have made their last sub. I pull a tired Lupu for Marin.



And we get another score to help put Australia to bed. Nighty night Australia!



Here let me put some covers on ya. MOM is Andone. Another clean sheet by Radu.
