I crave live football. enjoy it eddog and 7G. I will stick to back yard kick arounds with the kids.

Good to see some build up now in the media. I resorted to actually creating a twitter account to get some more build up by following the socceroos and some players. This is what happens with time off work.

It was excellent to be there and to see the national team live!

Compact.
No panic in the last third.
Luango and Mooy busy and buzzing in the midfield always playable and there to relieve pressure.
No real chances given up that I noticed.
Good running.
And 3 goals and one owengoal.
Super.

I'm not going to get carried away but a very good game to build on.

We just have too short-term thinking, there just aren’t enough people with a broader vision as to how we can actually make Australia a force in world football.

Fair enough.

Bert is paying his assisstants out of his own pocket. Not a lack of trust in current coaches but due to short time frame. Can't say he isn't committed to getting the best possibke result.
