I admire your optimism
The same team that's been struggling in qualifying through Asian groups is not gonna make a dent against two or maybe all three of them. Wouldn't be surprised if we bottomed the group without some serious improvement.
Thank you very much .Quote:

Portugal v Mehico was a great game in patches. Draw was a fair result.
ALso, never let it be said that we are the only nation with a shonky defence.
Germany by at least 4 goals. Socceroos only chance is to go old school and kick the shit out of them.
Imo this is the one game I reckon we'll get points out ofQuote:

They be more interested in sending a message to the manager than the likes of Ozil Kroos Muller Neuer etc who would get the job done and coast
I think we do much better against the African team. For some reason Aussies go well against them
too many gypos.
we doomed
ok we lasted longer than the Brazil game before conceding.
moving forward.
bhahahahahahha we stink
FFS Ange is a muppet we don't have the players or the pace to play this system and we look clueless everytime we play quality opposition
This formation is bad isn't it, it just lets the opposition run the ball into dangerous wide areas.
Thats because Mooy and Rogic have to track the wide cbs/Fbs when they push on and they dontQuote:

Can we buy some defenders?
Not that we would use them
Ange to persist with this formation all game Germany to win by 6+ goals
He has no choice but to stick with it, that's the issue. He has constantly spoken about it and how it will work. If he changes it now he looks silly. If he doesn't change it, odds are, he is going to look sillier!Quote:

Mooy is useless under pressure - and only shines against weak opposition. His defensive work rate and effort is appalling. Rogic is the same making Ange a fool to play them together.
Irvine should be starting however I still think mooy is good. Lots of pressure in the Championship but agree on his poor workrateQuote:

Mooy in a weak championship team would be completely exposed. He relies too much on others to create space becauuse he lacks the abillity to do it himself.Quote:

More Mooy defensive magic lol...gifting Germany a 3rd goal. hook him ffs Ange!
Lucky their Keeper is shit
He isn't great is he!Quote:
