Eds…the title of the article…We do not ” hit” goals surely? Baseballers hit home runs, cricketers hit boundaries, Golfers hit great putts. Boxers hit their opponents Footballers “score” goals.

Never mind the Tabbies, come to the Strikers. __ There’s some pretty good Banh Mi just across the road from Perry Park.

Thank you – pleased that Nisbet pleased you! He looked good out there and so did Yazbeck. Iredale looks promising too and he’s quite young. And my phone battery made it.

Dunno. I did make an effort to try and figure out who was who for Lebanon, but information was scarce (judging by broader media coverage, I may not have been the only one a bit confused).

A much better second half. Some cracker goals. Pleased with the clean sheet & debutants. Thanks, Stu. Goodnight Australia!

How does Craig Goodwin only have 25 caps? Hopefully he can play to age 40.
