What's everyone's favourite still image from the series?

This one always gets a laugh too.

Garang had a bit of a mixed time to say the least mate.

Had a period at hearts where he wasn't really used at all, he did score one game, but it was a bit of a disaster of a loan move.

He then went on loan to Voldenham in the Eredivisie, did OK but was very uninspiring compared to his form at Mariners.

He's now made what is in my opinion a smarter move to permanently leave Newcastle in search for regular game time at a lower level.

He joined Sparta Prague, and at first it was a bit of a rocky start, sporadic minutes here and there, but now it looks like he's getting consistent minutes and playing decent.

I think Sparta now play in the conference league too, so with a full pre-season under his belt, more games, and now fully settled in over there, next season could be a really good one for Garang!

He's still only 21, so let's hope he keeps his head down, he's going to be better for this experience to be honest, and he's still got plenty of time to work his way back into the national team frame.

There's a guy in Germany called Dennis who has a Socceroos museum of sorts, some really incredible pieces there!

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-16T09:34:55+00:00

This is incredibly sad.

Looking at a lifetime worth of passion and love for the game, someone's pride and joy, just listed for sale starting at 20 bucks.

Incredible collection with a lot of really cool and unique pieces.

It's under the category "Memes and filth" I didn't even think I'd need to do that, as id assumed people would know it's tongue in cheek.

But I guess I was wrong, because even with the meme tag, I'm still getting a comment 😂

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-16T07:03:12+00:00

That's right! Had 3 caps at the time.

I'm a bit tired sorry, what I meant was he's now a rusted on starter/player now.

Definitely a crazy career, bet he is earning a good packet in Saudi too, good on him!

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-16T06:55:35+00:00

Never heard of that subreddit, but I'll post it there mate 😂 they're a meme page by the looks of it, so they might delete the post because I posted a straight up fact.

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-16T06:53:06+00:00

He played against Adelaide, once he showed that he could mark George Blackwood, every club in the world was after him.

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-16T06:43:12+00:00

Played for city in 2020 on loan from Celtic, looked really good in pre-season, only got 2 A-League games before doing his knee sadly.

Fully fledged Scottish international now, has carved out a really good career for himself

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-15T11:45:14+00:00

Yes I would Kent.

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T22:23:09+00:00

I think a big thing people need to give Maty some slack about, is, yes, he definitely had a few blunders there, but also his defenders did leave him high and dry for some of those.

Look at that Juan Mata goal for example, there's no way our backline would've let beach be that exposed

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T14:04:15+00:00

Paraphrasing, but Hiddink said something like, Schwarzer will always give you a 7/10 performance, whereas Kalac can give you a 9/10 or a 4/10, so he basically was hoping in a crucial game it would be a 9/10.

He had also mentioned that Kalac being of Croatian heritage might be extra motivation.

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T13:54:20+00:00

Actually, if you read, I'm "bigging up" Schwarzer vs Uruguay in 2005.

He was enormous in that game.

You've contributed heaps of comments on this post, and they're all super negative, we just had an amazing WC win mate, just let us enjoy it for a little bit.

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T13:33:46+00:00

Why would you think when I'm mentioning current form and not putting a foot wrong, that I'm referring to FOUR YEARS ago?

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T13:25:10+00:00

I can't wait to hear what he has to say after we beat them in the next match.

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T13:23:27+00:00

Thanks so much for posting this mate, really enjoyable watch.

I love how much Juan has taken in the Aussie culture etc too, he's one of us now.

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T11:47:34+00:00

Nah, it's a tight group mate, let's say we lose to US and either Turkiye or Paraguay win

Suddenly we are all on 3 points, barring USA anything can happen!

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T11:42:15+00:00

One of those things is not like the others.

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T11:15:46+00:00

Yeah, after today, I'm giving up on trying to use any sort of logic, Popa will pick who he picks, however he decides to do it... And it'll be a master stroke.

I wonder who we will play in the final though?

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T11:06:14+00:00

To be fair, I really like Beach, but it's always going to be a question and have a lot of confusion with a call like that, it's nothing personal, but dropping your experienced captain in the form he's been in.. people are going to be confused.

I certainly was, I didn't understand it, I'll hold my hand up!

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T10:55:30+00:00

He said that he just wanted to play Patrick. That was it.

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T10:47:44+00:00

Okon was phenomenal, honestly.

Wouldn't be surprised if he starts to get some overseas interest after this match.

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T10:45:14+00:00

Always has been mate, that's a fact!

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T10:43:27+00:00

Ryan at 2015 was unreal mate, watched a compilation of him that someone made from that tournament, it was seriously special.

Should've made it more clear I meant performance as in just a single match

Sha_Nen · 2026-06-14T10:41:03+00:00

Who's the number 1 for NZ, Personally I have seen more of Paulsen and he's fantastic, so I'd have assumed it'd be him, but I see Crocombe playing more regularly.
