Baloo said:Australia not to score in open play isn’t a bad bet.
joegarra said:We just don't have enough players good enough to play in quality leagues. We could barely score in qualifying. Anyone who was hoping Timmy would save us , obviously hadn't watched much soccer the last twelve months. He couldn't get a regular game at Milwall. We really had only half a side out there. Many of our players have a terrible first touch and are technically poor. How many of our players could have scored Peru's first goal? Maybe Tim of four years ago, maybe Rogic. Hopefully Pasquali continues to develop overseas, but we desperately need strikers, and there aren't many good young ones in the A League
Smoking Aces said:I am surprised about the lack of focus on Milligan. He was woeful the entire tournament. Defending one on one is well below standard.
Selection last night was all wrong. Why persist with the same line up that has netted us 0 goals in open play?
At a minimum Arzani and Luongo should have started.
Harry said:Juric is hopeless. For all the hard work Leckie and Kruse do they are not good enough. Jedinak offers little offensively. These 4 need to be replaced asap and find players capable of putting the ball in the net in the next 4 years. Disappointed luongo and petratos didn't get a run as they have potential and the experience would have been good.

Baloo said:Calls for Cahill are like calling for Richo to put his boots back on.
tigerman said:You don't think he should have been given 15 or 20 minutes in the first two games.
I agree that he has had his time in the sun, but i'm sure he had something to over as a sub, and i'm near positive he would have got a head on some of those crosses against Denmark.
Baloo said:Against France when we went down yeah. Against Denmark our goal was to not lose the match moreso than trying to win so no.
Last night I would have put Arzani on before Cahill. He has No match fitness. At 38 that means your reflexes are no where near as sharp.
But the outrage over not playing Timmy more is about the romance of Timmy heading our winner rather than any rational thinking.
