It's not Ange Postecoglou's job anymore to fix Australian soccer.

Re: 2018 World Cup
Exactly, which is why i appreciated his tone and treading lightly in his article.It's not Ange Postecoglou's job anymore to fix Australian soccer.
Val made a good comment in his article that national team issues should be decided by an independent panel of mostly succesful ex socceroos and that FFA should stick to bean counting.

Re: 2018 World Cup
SBS will screen the remainder of the World Cup games live on free-to-air TV after a deal with
Optus whose initial streaming offering was plagued by technical glitches.

Re: 2018 World Cup
We started in Germany in 1974.
We went home with Germany in 2018.
Jogi Löw must go and things must change is the vibe...
Remember how Spain sacked it's trainer only two days before the start of this WC?

https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... humilationMake no mistake, there had been warning signs before the national team left for Russia. Not the fitness debate surrounding some players, most notably Manuel Neuer. That was par for the course, as Germany always go into a World Cup haunted by injury worries. No, it’s rather that a strange mood had engulfed the national team in the weeks leading up to the tournament.

Re: 2018 World Cup
Ange had a dream, a good one, but he failed to deliver on that dream. After a very good start the team went backward.
He tried to make us an attacking team, but all he did was make us weak defensively and quite often our passing horrible. So while it may not be a great achievement to be solid defensively and competitive but it was something Ange was struggling to achieve against weaker opposition than France, Denmark and Peru.
Bert van Marwijk was then tasked with rebuilding a team that was not playing anywhere near as well as should have been. He managed to improve the defense and midfield play, but failed to find a way to score goals. However with the improvements he made he gave us a chance to get out of the group, but in the end the players could not capitalise on chances and we did not score goals.

Re: 2018 World Cup
Well the fuckheads have done it. They have given me the refund I did not want, a total fucked up piece of business.
Why are people allowed to put money into my account without my permission? It should be illegal.
I was totally happy with the value for money I was getting, I could watch games, any games. Now they have just made a perfectly happy customer so pissed off that they will never buy another thing from them. WELL DONE OPTUS SPORTS.

Re: 2018 World Cup
The last 10 minutes was utterly bizarre!
In the end it was not a good look the game finished at slower than snail pace.
But still , happy an asian country made it out the group.
Give the money to a young parent at a bus stop tomorrow

Re: 2018 World Cup
The world cup draw is crazy!
One side is absolutely stacked, the other only has 2 genuine contenders plus maybe croatia.

Re: 2018 World Cup
Uruguay won all three of their games and seem to be in pretty good form.The wierd thing is all the form teams are in the lower half of the draw.The world cup draw is crazy!

Belgium are also in good form but I worry about their defence.
They could be the semi finalists from that side of the draw.

Re: 2018 World Cup
Culturally it is our game, you dickhead.
https://www.news.com.au/sport/football/ ... 6941a33da0Mitchell was quick to hit back with “culturally it’s not our game”, but that only angered the passionate fan.
