I still expect Australia to qualify.
I still wish Tim Cahill would **** off.
and Robbie Cruse
and Milligan
and make Mark Jones coach.

also, keeper is better than that gypo prick.
Always has been.
Biraz should be his #2.
Honestly, we should be qualifying a bit easier than this.
The game Vs Thailand was probably the biggest banana peel we have had so far. Conceding late doesn't help.
I'm actually in a position to go next year, so i'm a bit more anxious about our qualification from that respect and would much prefer us get it done sooner rather than later.
Vs UAE - Need to win this to knock UAE out of contention really. Japan and Saudi will probably expect 3 points from their games. So lets assume gap will stay 3.
Vs Saudi Arabia, a win will level us with them assuming they win. (Japan play @ Iraq)
Vs Japan in japan, a win will level us with them assuming they will all matches (Saudi play @ UAE)
Vs Thailand, Japan @ Saudi in the last round.
Best thing for us is that they play each other in the final round imo, and we play each of them. So our fate is definitely in our hands.
A draw in Iraq is a good result to be fair. Especially in wet weather. Play on
Yes we should be qualifying easier than this but it actually a development thing.
So far we are still undefeated.
Why we struggling is we not picking up the wins on the road
Our draw though is now lopsided in our favour though.
A win v UAE and we are then left with a huge game v Saudi Arabia in Australia
Win that and we have them covered on Head to Head record in the event of a Tiebreaker scenario
That being said
Beating UAE Saudi Arabia and Thailand at home for a spot in the WC is a dream run
If we can't do it then we not need to be there anyway
I actually think it is a good thing we are having to work hard to qualify here.
Coasting along would do nothing for us in Russia
Agree again and I don't understand people who think its going to be easy. It has been proven time and time again these countries our guys travel to aren't easy to play at. We are unbeaten which is a positive, we are probably behind where we expect to be but its not an easy run, these teams are fast and often lift to play against us.
Over in Australia though, it is a different story. If they fail to get 9 points from those 3 games they are under achieving and letting all football fans down.
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
You say that it isn't easy but then go on to say that we should win our 3 home games comfortably.. Travel aside I do believe all games are difficult however I believe we are below our expectations at this point. 4 points out of a possible 12 is below par. We need to lift.
Thank Jesus that Ange has benched Robbie Kruse
About ****ing time
Mooy not even in squad
Troisi :S
Troisi honking
This was the game that was teeing up for Newcastle....doubt the crowd will be the 25000 we would probably have got.
