Season 12: The Finals Countdown | SYD v MVC | 6.55pm SS2

Where is the game? They showing highlights of the semi

Berisha!! Victory take the lead 0-1

Wilkinson was put thru the washer by Berisha, got turned inside out a couple times in the process of him scoring.

As good a game as it has been so far, I'll be surprised if it finishes 11 v 11. It's becoming very spicy out in the middle.

I will be surprised if no player gets a red. I hope not as it will ruin the game.

Of 11 previous grand finals only three have seen a team come behind to win - it was Brisbane each time. #ALeagueGF

I have to say, in the "chat" beside the game on this link, I have never ever seen so much vile and racist crap being typed in my online life. I know in the past a few things got mentioned on here but that is nothing. Australians should be ashamed and embarrassed as to what a lot of their keyboard warriors type.

Typical of Australians. Just hide the feed mate. 

Commentator said there were 27 (recorded) fouls in the first half! This games on the verge of an all out brawl

7 cards thus far. 

How Broxham has stayed on the pitch after 30 mins only god knows. Gillett has been pretty much the usual A League match official standard.

Grant!! 1-1

I hope Sydney win this. I am surprised that no one has been sent off yet but still 25 mins to go.

Damn, c'mon Victreee!

Matt Simon, get off the field you Cod.

9 yellows!! 43 free kicks

Bonus football, I think Sydney will get the winner cuz the Victory are hanging on by their teeth atm.

Actually he has been good

I think it'd be great to see Sydney fudge this up!

Who? Broxham or the Razor? 

The ref. 

Rojas has been so disappointing second half of this season.

Could see that coming.

I knew he was going to miss from his technique.  

He did not look confident, he did not go out there positive. That was almost a Dadi pen.

Disappointing or found out?

Really happy for Vuka, he has had a terrific season. With all his off field stuff happening, it hasn't distracted him one bit.

That was a terrible game of football. So many fouls and so many players lucky to still be on the pitch by the end of the game. It seemed like Victory had no real game plan with the ball other than knock long balls at Rojas. I am not a fan of the foul and reset defence tactic SFC employ and both teams came out with that mentality.

SFC are really uninspiring champions. Credit to Arnie for setting up a ruthlessly efficient winning machine but it hardly makes for entertaining football for the neutral

I loved how a few fans had toilet seats in the crowd. There was 10 (?) yellow cards? Not a great advert. How there was no red cards, god only knows.

It definitely wasn't a Dadi level Pen, Rojas hesitated but hit it way better than Dadi did.

I agree with this. Hasn't helped that 2nd- 6th sides could all be described as 'so-so' sides this season, with Brisbane and Melbourne capable of very good things but both going off the boil at times as well. Lack of consistency from the other sides has made Sydney look very good but not exceptional compared to Brisbane.

Fox commentators hyping it up as the most intense grand final in history was embarrassing. It must be an Australian commentator thing to hype every event to be the greatest of all time. It's odd. 

I think your under selling the force Sydney were.  There concerted pressure allowed a creative threat Ninkovic to express himself. 15 odd goals conceded. The team played with great harmony. This consummated Arnold as a great coach. Reflects well too on our ex-GM Pignata!

Crap game but hey if we played like Sydney I would be over the moon.

Give me boring, clinical and winning any day of the week

I think that was a great tactical game last night. Muscat came up with great tactics to shut Sydney down and it worked well for him. It was a proper final.

Last season he played before this he was the best player in the league and he still got a fair few goals and assists this season. Maybe teams have found out how to counter him a little but he is still one of the league's best players. I can see why he wasn't a success in Europe though.
