Wish I could speak Flemish. Looks like he was a bit lucky to keep the clean sheet though when the opposition guy lost his footing late on.
Thanks for putting up the clip.

Anyone else think that was a soft red for Simons?
And love the Aussie flag at 7:30!

The undisputed star of the show so far for Australia has been Central Coast Mariners striker Duke, with Juric also impressing his coach.
On whether he could make the Brazil WC...
"Mitch Duke, he looks a very good prospect," Osieck said.
"I hope he keeps going. He is definitely a very promising player."

Hello. I was there yesterday. Anything you want to know?
We were very lucky there at the end indeed, that was a totally incomprehensible miss.
Also, yes, very soft red. Especially for a guy who hasn't had a red card in like 10 years and averages less than 2 yellows per season. As a defensive midfielder. He missed more minutes yesterday than when playing for 3 years in Germany, in total. But that's Belgian refs for you, they're at best totally incompetent.
Ryan did get a yellow too, for timewasting. Total bullshit, because he wasn't, while the opposition goalkeeper had been wasting time from the first minute and didn't get anything except a warning. (Ryan didn't get a warning.)

G'day mate, welcome to the forum. Very happy to have you with us now that Club Brugge has become our favourite Belgian team!
Has our Maty got the job as #1 keeper, or is that still being worked out?
The highlights seemed to indicate a comparatively comfortable win. Was that the case?
We will be pleased to have your comments and feedback as the season progresses.
We'll send some of our Aussie refs over to you, they'll fit in very well.

I was pretty sure that, even though the coach was saying it was still undecided, our previous #1 was going to start in goal for the first match. But he had been injured for a few weeks, so even though he was fully fit, he missed the last few practice games. That's why Ryan started, and Kujovic was on the bench.
Going forward, I don't see why he wouldn't start in the next game. You could argue that it's a EL game and that they'd want someone with more experience (= Kujovic), but if I'm not mistaken Ryan has been the #1 for you guys for a while so while young he does have plenty of match experience. It's not like he's an unproven talent like our 3rd keeper - who really should be loaned out this season but probably won't.
As for comfortable win, I'd say no. That dumbass red card really messed things up, and plenty of effort was needed to secure the win. We didn't create too many chances. On the other hand, the other team didn't either. That horrendous miss at the end of that video was pretty much the only chance they had during the entire game.
My feeling was that we really shouldn't have to spend this much effort to beat a crap team. Maybe without the red it would have been easier, I dunno.

Maty has been our #1 keeper for the past 3 years, played in 2 grand finals (you guys don't have them I know, but they're high pressure matches out here). He had a clean sheet the last grand final. He's been in all our Asian Champions League matches the past 3 years (10 from memory). He's been in our National squad a few times, and I think he's actually had game time with them. So yes, young but quite experienced, and against some class opposition too. He'll do OK for you.
Make sure you look after him for us, we'd like him back eventually.

The first goal is a nice finish but the second is Ned-Zelic-for-the-Olyroos gorgeous.

Pim Verbeek used to say the players have to 'show' themselves. Mile Jedinak kick started his Socceroo career by showing himself at an A League training squad; Verbeek was visibly impressed, and very surprised by what he saw from Mile. And Mile (that is EPL player Mile
) hasn't looked back since.The scant reports from training while in Australia suggested that Duke was the one to show himself; Sainsbury make take a little longer to be comfortable at that level. What it does mean is that we can look forward to a fired up confident Dukey, and a Sainsbury motivated to prove himself an even better player than last year.
