...Amen to that.LMF^^ said:Conclusion: you play well witout Sterjovski.
I have to disagree. It definitely was not a terrible performance by the Aussies. Perhaps we need to improve in a few areas...but I can't see us getting killed by Japan on that performace. Holland are a class side. They make most sides look pretty ordinary. Maybe you are expecting too much from the Aussies?Led-Zep said:that was a terrible performance by the aussies
Ditto.otay said:1-1. Ok I thought it was a pretty poor display by us. A few thoughts that I picked up.
- Our defence looked awful. Right up the pitch. We were not closing the dutch players down at all and Moore looks near hopeless half the time. Too many crappy passes going nowhere near a teammate.
- Our attack lacked a punch. We created what 2 real chance all night? That's because we had no space coz the dutch were doing what we did not which i mentioned earlier
- our passing was quite atrocious, although it got better towards the end
- we were flat.
Positives though.
- Shwarzer proved he's as good as any goalie around. I don't really think he coulda done much about the shot, there should have been a defender on Van Nistlerooy
- We fucking drew to the Netherlands in Holland. They are ranked number 3 in the world and for a good 70 mins played like it, and even with 10 men for half an hour we drew. Well done.
- we were maybe a little fatigued, which wont be the case next week after todays game
- Cahill ran well and Viduka still looks damn threatening, even though he missed the penalty.
- No1 got injured and we didn't really get our first string team on.
- The crowed were singing Waltzing Matilda and not that gay song that one the SBS competition, and doing it loudly too
So I think it was a good result. We didn't play well, so what happens when we fire next week? Watch out world
- oh and another positive is we showed wat a bunch of pussies the dutch (van bommel, robben) and that van persie character who acts like a bad cunt in the EPL got introduced to some real hard tackles.

On another note...Japan 1-0 Malta. Thats pretty promising for the Aussies because the Japanese scored in the 2nd minute and were unable to score again for the entire game against such a small opponent.
Maybe we need to play like Brazil to be considered a good performance.matt#1 said:I have to disagree. It definitely was not a terrible performance by the Aussies.

That waz not terrible, not at all. Sure there are problemz that need to be solved, like defensively and stringing passez together, but other than that it waz a good display, especially in the second half.
I don't like Neill playin centrally, I think Popovic should play there alongside Moore. But then again it would be hard fo em two to deal wit fast forwardz who can easily outpaced em. Emerton iz still the weak link in the side, if only we have better optionz . Thompson lackz the technical ability to make any impact, even though hiz pace can unsettle tirin defenderz. But what more can you expect from Australia, we're not a global powerhouse yet. We've done ourselvez proud. Well done to the Socceroos.
Nah, luck + Guus = World Cup semi final. Just ask South Korea.- L1n - said:luck can only take u so far
