AUSTRALIAN football fans have had time now to come to terms with the fact that the Socceroos missed out on automatic World Cup qualification.But the conversation remains as heated as ever.At one end of the extreme, former Socceroos Mark Bosnich and Robbie Slater have led the inquisition on Ange Postecoglou’s bona fides for remaining in the hot seat.
DW said "Let’s hope it’s a feel good Aussie story, rather. But even though it is true, as Postecoglou referenced, that qualifying is no silver bullet, it is still imperative in this competitive sporting matrix we live in. Not just for the bottom line, and psyche of football - currently coping with myriad other issues - but to continue to remind Australia of just how big this damn game we love actually is. We need to be there. We want to be there."
