On another note
5 wins
4 draws
1 loss
We actually are pretty stiff to miss out directly
Considering the Saudis lost 3 times
Sth Korea lost 3 times
Japan lost twice
They all qualified
Matter of fact that record we have would have seen us qualify last time and the time before comfortably
Just little unlucky to miss out on GD
Thought I'd let The Member know, his account has been hacked.
Someone's posting positives from it.
Yeah. It's the two draws away to the two bottom placed teams hurt the most.
Iraq beat Thailand 4-0 at 'home' ffs.
Seremban District...outside KL. They're been getting crowds between 4-5k.
2-2 at the Azadi is not to be sneezed at either.
The roller coaster continues....
"Luck" doesn't cost you over 10 games that sorts it out fairly.
This has been coming and to be honest, I think it is a slap in the face we need.
Thailand got 2 points in 10 games! They scores only 6 goals and 3 were against us. That's where we blew it.

If we get pass Syria..... Honduras worries me most. They take their football seriously in that part of the world, very hostile environment there, maybe even worse than Uruguay . From Wiki: "The Football War (Spanish: La guerra del fútbol), also known as the Soccer War or 100 Hour War, was a brief war fought between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969. Existing tensions between the two countries coincided with rioting during a 1970 FIFA World Cup qualifier. The war began on 14 July 1969, when the Salvadoran military launched an attack against Honduras."

Just over reading every pea brain on Twitter hammering Ange saying that his formation was the issue last night
We had 45 shots at goal
It wasn't like the formation of a back 3 saw us struggle to play
Struggle to score Yes but that down to execution of skills the resolution of the Thai defence and luck
But every pea brain is going off on Twitter missing what the real issues are here
It ain't Ange and it ain't the players efforts last night or over the last year
It is the systematic failings of the FFA in the last dozen years that have led us to this point
They the issues that need addressing
Also on another note we ain't out of the WC
2 legged ties v Syria
2 legged ties V Honduras/ Panama are nothing to be petrified about
well could be USA....Honduras leading them 1-0 at the moment!!!

I was contemplating doing a bunch of AFC puns but Iran away from the idea pretty quickly.
How good are the Matilda's though.......
Not having seen the table, that's surprising to me. I was pretty impressed with the Thai's last night. Their scrambling in defence in a dead rubber for them was pretty unreal, and I was not at all surprised when they scored - they looked threatening many times going forward, and we struggled to contain their attacking players who all had plenty of flair and good technique. Not to mention some extremely lucky refereeing for us, Sainsbury should have been sent off and Degenek got nutmegged but was deemed to have completed a fair tackle.
Mooy was the standout last night, he was behind probably 80% of our threatening situations by providing key passes. No idea why Cahill started in the deeper role, where he can still contribute is in the box poaching goals.
Anyone know if the qualifiers will be on free to air?
i tried to think of more to add to this but i'm at a laos
OK
Thailand did well. They were launching themselves at everything that looked like a shot. As everyone has said, the draw in Thailand looks pretty embarrassing now.
Confident we can beat both Syria and Panama (assuming they beat Trinidad). If we can't, then I think we have squandered enough chances.
I sometimes wish we played top 20 opposition more. Much better to watch being the underdog. They've raised our hopes over the years. Made us think we were a powerhouse in Asia.
How many more qualifies do the Central Americans have? Have they announced grounds/dates for Syria game yet?
Oman that was a terrible one.
Why don't Kuwait a bit and I'll think of some more.
If Panama beat Trinidad then we play the USA.
Away 5/10
Home 10/10
Honduras - USA 1-1
2 games left for USA and Honduras both on 9 points, Panama on 7 points playing today v Trinidad at home
USA: Panama (Home) and Trinidad (Away)
Honduras: Costa Rica (Away), Mexico (Home)
Panama: USA (Away), Costa Rica (Home)

USA = 2 games - home vs Panama / away vs Trinidad & Tobago
Honduras = 2 games - away vs Costa Rica / home vs Mexico
Panama = 3 games - home vs Trinidad & Tobago (today) / away vs USA / home vs Costa Rica
Just had a look at the table. If we get past Syria it can only be USA and Honduras now.
