    Watch the game again

    Australia dominated

    From Minute 1 to minute 90

    He should have been involved in much more against a piss weak opponent

    Put him against stronger opposition ?? Why so he going to make me look right

    Come on Member.

    Australia wins 2-0 and you would be whinging that we should have done more.

    Australia wins 7-0 and you're whinging that we should have been better.

    Just learn how to enjoy something already

    It's not about whinging for the sake of it.

    That opponent blast night was pathetic

    7-0 was a bad result.

    Reality is we should have won by much more.

    Just calling a spade a spade

    The scoreboard never done justice to the disparity between the sides

    We should have won with a double digit score

    That's a par score against a side that offered as much as they did

    Whilst I don't necessarily disagree try to remember that they had 11 men behind the ball for most art of that game. It can get crowded and become very difficult and frustrating to break down a team like that.
    Last night we showed good patients and discipline. How often have we seen the same thing happened against a Jordan or Qatar to only be scored against on the counter and we find ourselves chasing the game.

    Put into perspective last night was a good experiment along with a important result.

    Fair enough to MFKS, he can have his opinion just like everyone.
    Despite the opponent the multiple assists, important team play AND theoretically scoring a goal (Rogic's didn't actually cross the line before Giannou finished it), I feel pretty confident that Ange wouldn't agree with MFKS' assessment and that we will be seeing Giannou play plenty in the future.

    If Barcelona only beat the Cooks Hill U12s by 16-0 by my counts they have still played like busted arseholes

    The 3 points was in the bag as soon as the Soccerroos got off the bus at the ground. Question was always by how many

    You can try and find positives in that game but reality is there is **** all. We were not tested at all

    Whether they parked the bus is irrelevant. We had no trouble playing through them. The space and defensive pressure was ridiculous

    Ange could have played against orange cones who probably would have put up more of a fight

    I tend to agree with the Member in that the blokes finishing was pretty poor.
    Overall thought his team play was good, but you can't ignore the fact he missed that sitter and had some pretty poor shots in good positions.


    What I don't agree with him on is the fact he said nice things about a gypo.

    Shane Member, shame.

    When it comes to a qualifying game I personally don't care whether we're tested or not, I just want to see the 3 points.
    If Barcelona were playing Cooks Hill U12s in a champions league semi final would they be happy to get a 16-0 win and into the final or upset that they weren't tested enough?

    Moving on though. What combination of midfielders would we like to see? Rogic, Luongo, Jedi?

    I take it from that you won't argue Rogic is a better player than Mooy and that is your begrudging way of saying that I am right???

    Qualifying games should be testing us.

    That they don't just shows how weak the Asian Confederation is that we have to wait to next Rd to play a Japan Korea Iran etc and get tested

    Then let's not even look at how other rival Confederation s have to earn spot at WC

    Basically we just have to rock up to the grounds and we are more or less there

    Shows why the AFC disappoints every WC

    Nah.

    After the gypo goes a few games the full 90 and gives us the level Mooy has shown I'll be able to compare the 2. Last night gypo got to sit in the 18 yard box and ping away. They were good finishes mind, but it's a 90 game yeah?

    Maybe put the gypo at striker and keep Mooy.

    Has it been mentioned anywhere that we are already qualified for next round (even if we loose to Jordan)...???... Indeed even if we loose Tuesday we are assured to finish in the 4 best second placed.....

    because it's not actually the case

    we're on 12 points from our games against the top four teams in our group

    Syria also have 12, UAE and North Korea have 10 and Iraq have 9

    if Jordan beat us, and the four teams listed above all win, three will have more than 12 points, Iraq will be on 12

    our goal difference without Bangladesh is only +12, Iraq are on +6

    in simple terms, if we lose 0-3 on Tuesday and Iraq beat Viet Nam 4-0 (as well as UAE, North Korea winning, with Syria not losing) then we are out of the World Cup

    go put $10 on a multi-bet of all that happening - then if we're eliminated you'll have all that money to wipe away the anger

    **** putting money in that.

    If we lose to Jordan at home we don't deserve to go through to the next round anyway

    Some excuses can be offered up losing away to them

    But to lose at home is a lynching offence.

    Seriously

    I have never seen a side dominate to the extent we have and the striker has been anonymous for the most part
    he got four assists champ, and had a goal incorrectly given to rogic.

    no excuses for that miss though, jeez.

    Apart from Leckie he was the worst on the park for us last night
