Fan Group: Forum Members Posts: 74, Visits: 0	Send Verbeek to Morocco now please. A manager-less team would've been better. What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Disaster In Durban? AUSTRALIA were thrashed 4-0 in their opening clash of the World Cup as Germany outclassed them with devastating efficiency and the Socceroos were reduced to 10 men with the dismissal of Tim Cahill. Have your say.
