Couldn't care less about the very late post season cup.

[THEWANDERERSPOST]

Can't see the scum winning it. Predicting a WU v City final.

[pseudonym]

two things 

VAR back online for finals - hmm, for consistency, I don't think that should have been re-introduced

Semi Final Double Header - would it be a disadvantage for Sydney FC vs lowest winner when City vs highest winner spend up to 3 hours on the pitch? If it goes to penalties - not much time to warm up on the pitch

[Unlimited]

I just hope ESFC don’t win it. Would be pretty bad if they win the thing at our home stadium 

[Davo]

If they do win it I’d like to see the stats for their win percentage with VAR vs without.

Love how probably the two most in-form teams aren't even in the finals lol.

[WHACKO]

Wellington to beat Perth. #nocastronoparty

[mack]

1-0 Perth after 20.

[Edinburgh]

Decent match

[Generator]

Sotirio almost set up a goal. He did reasonably well, actually. 

[Generator]

And then he missed what looked like an absolute sitter!

[WHACKO]

What you expect from him.

[WHACKO]

Playing at Bankwest. Wellington doing their best to play like us.

[Burgerman]

Shitorio has cost them a few chances and u can see his team mates not feeding him balls

Is a decent game Perth resilient like a Popa team

Hey mate, Diego here. Can I come back for a kick around?

[Generator]

Cramps on what is probably the coldest day of the year up in Sydney? Come on.

[WHACKO]

My tipping still crap. 

[Generator]

Boo hiss. The wrong team went through, especially after that pathetic piece of play acting from Reddy at the very end.

[mack]

Nix out.

City vs whoever wins out of WU & Roar. 5pm Wednesday. 

Perth vs Smurfs on 8:10pm Wednesday.

Double header at Parramatta.

[GunnerWanderer]

Wonder if we can get out there be good to watch 

[BoyFromTheWest]

Nix definitely missed Hooper.  Sotirio isn't a striker - did okay and his speed is an asset but he doesn't have the quick reflexes and readiness to react that a striker needs.  Better on the wing and was pretty good out wide.

He is handy with his pace but perth shut them down and he is better on the wings doing inverted runs and pace down the lines, he should of been taken off at 60" talay was out coached and pressed great between the lines around midfield not giving davilla anything. 

Don't know if they can hold out esfc but should be interesting go glory.

Wellington were a good chance but when Sotirio starts you know it isn't going to end well.

Speed...tick

Skill...nah

Football brain...nah

Conclusion....A league squaddie..

[WHACKO]

Western Wagon Wheels to beat Roar. 

Hope I'm wrong (quite possible the way I tip).

Roar with home advantage to beat WU.

Mind you, the home advantage didn't help the Nix last night!

[Edinburgh]

This might actually be a good idea
