Humble pie time!

I thought he struggled in must win matches due to his gf performances. I was wrong

i thought he wasn’t rotating his squad enough. I was wrong

Others thought he shouldnt play duke, they were wrong.

others thought he played favourites (despite dropping his son in law!) they were wrong

he is now australias best ever coach who bleeds green and gold, super flexible and world class

Two wins at a WC. Two clean sheets and 6 points. Absolute bedlam. Results count! Congrats Arnie. You've made it a chore at times but you're passing your exams here and you're seeing gaps we can exploit and it works!

Humble pie is fine when its a positive for Australian football.

I was wrong about Muscat, who has proven he is a quality coach.  Nothing bad about being wrong about Arnie either.

Crazy thing is that when i try and choose a best of from 06 and 2022 just on performances, the two fullbacks, cahill and maybe lucas neill for kye make the 11. Bizarre to think duke has performed better than viduka. But his pressing, hold up play and key goal were sensational

Arnold has definitely proved me wrong. 
But he has somehow got a team SPL players, 2nd division players, A-league players and bench sitters out of a group that looked well beyond the team.
Hiddink is a great coach and he has received praise for getting out of the group in 2006 with EPL players, Serie A players and the like. 
To do it with players of much less quality is astounding, shocking, stunning, most definitely a greater achievement than what Hiddink did as coach.
So Arnold has to go down as the Socceroos greatest ever coach.
Well done Graham Arnold you are a CHAMPION coach.

yer - my bad I wavered on Arnie having stood behind him for so long, I was starting to really doubt him coming into this and many of the players.
Happy to have been proven so wrong - happy that Arnie can look at everyone in the face after all the crap he has copped during the AL days.
The haters now are eating poooooop forever :)

There is such a thing as timing your run to perfection. 

Arnie has done that. 

A true Aussie battler who never gave up. Inspirational!

Yep. As much as I loved the notion of trying to outplay top nations and scoring twice against the Dutch in 2014, honourable losses mean nothing. For us at this level, it is still about grinding out results. This side under Arnie has worked out how to do this brilliantly.

I'm a SFC fan & thinks he does lack tactical nous, but yes this tournament has proved he is a great Motivational manager.

Please share that Humble pie with me. I've been very critical of me of late.
