    Deflected free kick and two pens. Concede a stupid goal with poor organisation. Lets not fool ourselves. This has been a poor campaign.

    How Sainsbury isn't playing in a world class league each week has me baffled.

    Got to the game last night, and while it may not have been pretty, had a top night in the active area.
    Just need to get tickets now!

    After watching the post match press conference last night I’m becomming more and more convinced he’ll coach them at the World Cup and do so with double middle fingers to everyone along the way.

    I want him to stand on the sidelines in thongs and boardies, smoking a ciggy.

    I want him to put Langerak up front for the final 10 mins of a game, and yell all his instructions in Greek to his confused players who have no idea what he’s saying.

    Make it so Ange.

    Has said all along his stint ends when the campaign ends. Will be there and he deserves to be. The hard part is over, depending on the expectations he is setting.

    Agree on Sainsbury, bloke is a good defender and looks better on the ball than most of our team and can pick a pass.

    Also agree with JM, we hardly looked like scoring until the deflected free kick. First pen was lucky, second pen you can say we deserved as we did create a 1 on 1 which they were not able to legally defend.
    Hondurans were up for the game and played decently. How their #6 didn't get a yellow after something like 8 fouls conceded, most of which were on Rogic stopping a promising attacking situation baffles me. We were getting yellows (some deserved) for some soft shit but it seemed like they had open season on our blokes to stop any attack without penalty from the ref. Besides that he had a decent game.

    Rogic actually looked talented last night (in contrast to most of his performances I've seen where I'm left wondering why there is even hype on the bloke). Still needs to work on the final pass and shot but he did well carrying the ball forward and creating a yard for himself.

    I had to laugh a bit when Simon Hill asked how much of an impact we can make at the World Cup. In 2014 I thought we acquitted ourselves very well in a tough group and probably deserved to make it out. If we come at all close to those levels of performance I'll be both surprised and happy. Prove me wrong Ange

    Disagree

    It about getting there and the journey you take to get there developing your squad etc

    I will take our preparation we have had over the likes our 2010 side had where they qualified in a canter and were not pushed to earn it

    When we got there they thought they would just roll on where they left off in Germany 06 but the German NT was a massive step up from the Asian sides we had rolled

    I actually think we will do quite well in Russia

    This side may be cumbersome and excruciating at taking chances etc but

    They are hard to beat and are not riding their luck to scrape in

    Just takes us longer to get the dominance reflected on the scoreboard than we would like

    I also agree we will go alright.
    There are alot of up and coming, smaller nations make it, therefore if we get drawn in such a group we could even progress
