Best players - Souttar, Behich and Mooy - Souttar made a lot of interceptions, Behich kept his defensive side well (even Dembele was relatively quiet). Mooy kept the ball at his feet more than anyone else, and seemed to be the go to player. Yes, that is his position, but he had the trust of those around him.
Big improver - Karacic - I thought his cameo in the Argie game he showed a lot of character and played his position well.
Special mention - for a bloke who's scored 13 goals in 75 prior games, Leckie did a brilliant job in taking the goal against Denmark.
Coach - I can't believe Arnie in the last 6 games is the same bloke who coached the early rounds of qualifying. Such and improvement in management. Deserves a further contract. Cannot believe I said that.
Disappointment - Hrustic - the next big thing is still to arrive.
