Day 3 musings and highlights

Another action packed day at the Jumierah beach soccer stadium and another day when I think my obsessive fascination with cheer leaders has reached crisis level.

Australia did just enough to come away with the win against a lively and eager Bahrain… it was a true Robin Hood performance, clinching all three points it at the last minute. Watching the match, I was mortified by Australia’s play and so was coach Pim Verbeek: Bahrain created a lot of chances and they [...]

The weather has settled around the Gulf and the conditions at night are almost ideal for football. Some of Australians key players haven’t made the journey over, while others are still feeling the effects of the weekend’s matches… this is nothing out of the usual for Pim and co. so it should be business as [...]
