Indonesia 0-0 Australia
Half time.

Frustrating that we can not convert possession into goal.

Frustrating that we can not convert possession into goal.
A common problem world wide for heavy favourites against clear underdogs.
We’re at least converting possession into good chances.
Tonight we actually look like we can score.

Adam Taggart, natural goal scorer. Duke won't score if they play til Christmas.

Disappointing second half. Taggart’s chance the best one.
Mabil looked lively when he came on. Australia looked leggy towards the end, with misplaced and miscontrolled passes.

The Socceroos are looking for a new trainer ...

Graham Arnold has decided to step aside.

I was originally glad he stepped down, but rumours are suggesting Popa is going to replace him.

So a much less successful, equally boring and defensive-minded coach.

God help us.

Good to see McGree, Hrustic and Luongo back.

Glaring omission is Robertson. Hopefully he's still wanting to play for us.
