0-0 HT
Playing better then the Jordan game not that, that is hard.
Still stock standard Socceroos. 60% of possession but bugger all clear cut chances. Too many long balls as per usual and zero creativity.
If we win this it will be because of a lucky defensive shiraz up or and arsey goal. We're certainly riding our luck defensively also. If Iraq can piece together a decent counter attack we're toast.

Re: Socceroos v Iraq
I think it's time for radical tactics like shooting when the ball is in playing distance in the 6 yard box

Re: Socceroos v Iraq
Phew! What a let off! 2-1 FT
Standard Cahill brilliance! Then finally Holger woke the fuck up and put some attacking options on Oar with one of the only decent deliervies into the area all game Archie to his credit took it very nicely with a glancing header.
Puts a gloss on a otherwise dismal performance and sadly takes the pressure off Holger.
On a good note, Luca Neill and Carl Valeri both picked up yellows and are suspended for the next match. Nice to see the ref make the tough calls Holger can't!
Team GD Pts
Japan+10 10
Australia 0 5
Oman −2 5
Jordan −6 4
Iraq −2 2

Re: Socceroos v Iraq
Brosque a passenger, Holman invisible. But the bigger question is why wait until 75 minutes in to make changes? The side was set up anticipating an attacking Iraq side, don't leave it until 15min to go before adjusting

Holger is a reactive, not proactive manager.

Re: Socceroos v Iraq
What a shit performance.
Yeah we came from a goal down but that was not aussie spirit! Aussie spirit was the 2006 WC against japan or italy and my my my look how far we are from that.
Its funny that all the guys who are playing for the roos who are currently from the Aleague or have move from the aleague recently are the ones performing.
Im gonna go out on a limb here and say most Aleague sides would perform better in the roos group

Ppl who slap the label of truth on the 1st thing they hear, do it out of ignorance, convenience or cant be bothered picking through a thin layer of falsehood to find the real truth, or possibly even another lie
