Where's Holger?
Would have been better to lose 6-0 in each game under him at the World Cup than under Australia's "best" coach.
definitely a reality check for me. i thought we could spring a bit of a surprise by being competitive and maybe jagging a win, probably against Holland. now I'm rather worried.
still, we were understrength ourselves last night. jedinak, bresh, spiranovic etc. will improve us but i'm not sure just how much improvement we have in us.
gee guys, give me a chance to post the poll! :D
I couldn't give the slightest shit about how we go in Brazil, if I am honest.
The fact we played with some attacking intent and played some young players is what I was excited about. Throw in Jedinak/Spira/Wright (hopefully) and someone better than Troisi and I am excited just at the team sheet, completely without regard for results.
I think when people realise that, under Holger, we probably would have got smashed by an aggregate of 12-15 goals without having a single shot and under Ange we will do the same amount of losing but make an effort at scoring something, things might be a bit better. And throw in a random red card to a Dutch striker to give us a man advantage and who knows what could happen under Ange? Whatever it will end up being is a far better viewing than having four centre backs at the back with 3 centre backs in front of them like we played once sometime last year.
my expectations our now lower. After seeing our defence... (besides Davidson)
i reckon we'll ****en walk this piss ant competition
I second this sentiment, although we didn't light the world on fire you can see Ange has changed the dynamics of the squad and cleaned out the Dinosaurs. I always thought well before Holger got boned that we should of been building for the Asian Cup, now I'm a little more optimistic we're not going to be embarrassed on home soil.Quote:

Thank Griff for being in a better time zone.
Going into this game I thought Australia were gonna get ****ed in Brazil, after the game my opinion didn't change at all. Our defence leaves a whole lot to be desired, our midfielders give the ball away too much, and I can't see our attackers getting as many chances against Chile, Spain and Holland as we did against South Africa
I tell you what Plague the Spain game worries the shit out of me. Not because we are gonna get pumped.Quote:

I actually find matches involving Spain boring to watch. It ain't a captivating contest. It is gonna be painful watching this shower of shite get owned by espania.
Then again on second thoughts after watching the Jets ineptness week in week out in recent years and still fronting up for more I should be well prepared for the shit us Aussies will endure in a couple of weeks time:whistling:
