+x+x+x+x+xWhere are all the Bert lovers now, what a fraud. I still love Bert and wish he had an extended run. yeah me 2 he solved our right back problem in one month. Maybe with 4 years he solves our finishing problem. Teach arzani how to defend and finish and continue to work with nabbout and folami and all of sudden we have a functioning team There were just the occasional positional mistake leading to some of our goals. If he has us for four years we only concede 3 probably Agree with you two. For the first time in a WC, we were competitive in every one of the three games we played. I seem to recall Australia being competitive in 4 out of 4 games in 06. and we had some Cahill Magic in the last 10 minutes of the game against Japan to thank for it. There is a fine margin between winning and losing. Peru has 3 shots and two go in Germany has 28 shots, none go in

+xSincere apologies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_FIFA_U-17_World_ChampionshipOur record at youth level in the 90's to early 2000's is there for everybody to see. Regular qualifying out of the first group The narrative back then was why we couldn't translate this relative success to senior football? Then 2003 happened the rest is history. https://www.fifa.com/u17worldcup/matches/round=3613/match=18496/index.htmlInteresting thing about that tournament is that not one player from our final competing team went on to have a successful Socceroos career, bar Josh Kennedy. Jade North is perhaps is the next closest one.

+x+xThat was my question really. What produced Viduka, Aloisi, Kennedy, Zdrillic, Agostino, Mori and Zane? Was it the NSL system? Yes. Not the clubs specifically, but the system. It worked. It got us to the 1997 WC youth final. Remember those heady days? 1997 under 20 world cup final: Argentina 2-1 Uruguay. 1997 under 17 world cup final: Brazil 2-1 Ghana. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_FIFA_World_Youth_Championshiphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_FIFA_U-17_World_ChampionshipWhat tournament were you watching?

+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+x+xThe blame for lack of striking options is the fault of the FFA for not providing enough opportunities / pathways for young strikers to develop. All blame must go to FFA and HAL. Since 2005 all you wanted was the "show piece" and too put bums on seats, but youth football and development suffered. This was a long time coming, and it's not going away anytime soon, got yourselves to blame. Thanks guy who supports Australian club in Sydney but calls other Australians "you". I see this sentiment as part of the problem too. We are all pulling in different directions. By "you", I think he meant those of "you" who wanted these traditional clubs thrown out of the top league. The NSL wasn't just a bunch of "wog" teams playing at the top level but it was an ecosystem. Development clubs playing from U/12's to the top. But there was no showpiece competiton relevant to "Australians". The strong desire to compete against showpiece comps like NRL and AFL and Super12 lead to this move to ditch the NSL and the clubs. But people with good intentions didn't understand that the NSL wasn't a shit comp with wog clubs who had no mainstream appeal but a ecosystem of development. They threw out the baby with the bathwater. 15 years on we are just starting to see the insurmountable problems this has caused. I'm pretty sure in 4 years we'll be lamenting the loss of Milligan and Jedinak.because we can't cover those spots I don't get who he is speaking to on here. I'd hazard a guess the majority of people on 442 did not support the treatment of the foundation NSL clubs [I certainly didn't]. 442 members support ALL football in Australia. Not just the closed league system the FFA has developed. Furthermore, most on here, if you read the other topics, have vehemently supported a national 2nd division and pro/rel. Freaken is a well known Anarchy Forum Bitter. He is a member of a group of Australian football supporters who hate the A League and the Socceroos, because they thought their former ethnic NSL clubs should have been part of the original HAL paradigm. Many of these Bitters rejoice at the Socceroos losing. Thankfully, the inception of the FFA Cup, and hopefully the introduction of pro/rel, is starting to bring them into the tent. Almost everybody in Oz football wants to see HAL 2. Freaken is one of the most cicil, literate and benign of these Bitters. Interesting he is posting here rather than Football Anarchy. Ohhh and you're so credible. So F***n what which forum he comes from, bitter or plastic. he has hit the nail on the head with everything he has said in this thread about the state of the game. Where would you disagree? I haven't read it, but I've probably refuted it elsewhere. This thread is about Australia v Peru. I'm not derailing the thread. Anarchy Bitters and Eurosnobs will look for any opportunity to derail this thread. I suggest to others, don't bite. It's all relevant. in other words, you agree with him and have no answers. carry on.... Troll. These discussions have been well documented elsewhere on the internet. Freaken preaches persuasively to the converted. Playing the man and not the ball is unbecoming. Discredit my arguement. Not me.

We are a pretty mid rate football team so to do as well as we did shows some damn good coaching . Anyone who thinks that getting one point from 3 games in a group featuring Denmark and Peru is 'doing well' is a complete fucking moron. Maybe you didn't know this, moron (oops I meant to say miron), but we're the highest ranked AFC team, yet the only one not to get a win and also the only one to finish bottom of a group. If this is what passes for an acceptable and prideful result in Australia, we might as well give up even trying to qualify.

miron, we know just very hard being positive barring the obvious. Feck we couldn't even poke one in. Basket case correct but I just found a great positive to mull over for now : Panama 1 GF GA 9. game to play. Poland 1 GF GA 5 game to play. but the coup de grace is : Germany GF 2 GA 4 - that is sweet !

The guy had three months to take a basket case of a team , find out who could play and who could not, then change the whole playing style to make us competitive against the worlds best . It wasn't his fault we had no strikers . Maybe with another 6 months he could have coached our quite poor strikers to score against the world best teams ? Gees you guys expect miracles . BTW...I would like to see the number of actual days BVM and his coaches actually got to be with the Socceroos in total ...25 ?...30 ? ...also for perspective ..we played the worlds no 7, no 11 and no 12 ranked teams in our group....we were ranked no 36. We are a pretty mid rate football team so to do as well as we did shows some damn good coaching .

Being competitive in 3games work your arse off for what ? I wonder IF Kruse or Leckie would have tripped over themselves in the position of the 2nd Korean goal lol....... Seriously I got to have a laugh after this debacle. Yep Bert did improve our shape and importantly defensively but any coach making the change from 3 to 4 could have seen that due to our playing abilities.

+xJust watched Foz and Lucy the evening after. Wondering if supporters of every nation that fails to get out of their groups have to listen to their own version. Makes out that the PM himself holds some responsibility for Australia not going to the WC expecting to win the cup.Ffs countries with the football pedigree of Hungary and Holland have never won the WC and weren’t even there this year. Imagine having to put up with the tirade from von Foz. Agree. Fozz's "government to the rescue" plea was cringeworthy. You'd think his complaint that pollies are culpable for football's struggles here would fall on deaf ears after govt investments in the game such as the Crawford Report and (idiotic) $46 million dollar taxpayer-funded WC bid. Then again, there's no shortage of Jim Hackers in this country so the begging bowl prescription is always on the table.

If he has us for four years we only concede 3 probably Absolutely, the squad improved immensely in a very short time. Wish we could have him longer. I'm simply gobsmacked more cannot see the good work BVM has done in such a short time. I feel sad the current Socceroos and BVM, competitive in every game in Russia, which has never been achieved at any WC before, will never receive the accolades they deserve in Australia. I wish BVM was staying on. I think he is the greatest coach we've had for the Socceroos. In 5 out of 6 objective, specific football analytical criteria, the Socceroos have improved immeasurably under Bert in Russia. BVM was very happy with he way the team performed, but could not believe how our finishing and attacking interplay was so far behind the other five aspects of play where we matched it with the world's best.

Many of these Bitters rejoice at the Socceroos losing. Thankfully, the inception of the FFA Cup, and hopefully the introduction of pro/rel, is starting to bring them into the tent. Almost everybody in Oz football wants to see HAL 2. Freaken is one of the most cicil, literate and benign of these Bitters. Interesting he is posting here rather than Football Anarchy. Ohhh and you're so credible. So F***n what which forum he comes from, bitter or plastic. he has hit the nail on the head with everything he has said in this thread about the state of the game. Where would you disagree? I haven't read it, but I've probably refuted it elsewhere. This thread is about Australia v Peru. I'm not derailing the thread. Anarchy Bitters and Eurosnobs will look for any opportunity to derail this thread. I suggest to others, don't bite.

+x+xThere can be a lot of excuses for the Peru game.The third game in quick succession,same players,opposition tactics,our tactics,our selections,our poor finishing..etc..etc.Personally I think a major problem was BVM choking on replacing Luongo with Jedi.The two lead up games against the Czechs and Hungary ,we had Luongo and had no trouble scoring goals.Jedi is safe ,but slow and stuffs up midfield alongside Mooy and Rogic upfront.If we play Mooy,Rogic and Jedi we have a slow immobile midfield.Thus we are restricted in the way we can play.We need to sit deep and allow on the wingers and fullbacks to get forward.We need a fast striker to keep up eith the wingers.Nabbout.If we lose the ball high up the field we are exposed.Hence the first goal.In the Peru game we had the slow midfield and slow striker.We had Peru sitting deep and hitting us on the counterattack ,with our slow midfield to cover.End result was to be expected.We could have drawn that game if we played more safely.But we were never going to win that game with the selections and the strategy.Denmark showed what you can do with a simple game plan and squeezing out results.They are on a long unbeaten run and ranked 11 .Their star player Ericksen spends a lot of the game uninvolved.But they stick to their plan ,whether they look ordinary or not. Good observation - but it would have been a very brave coach to not select the captain who has scored 5 goals in 3 competitive matches and in three successive WC games. Jedi's influence is much greater than his playing capabilities. He is very experienced and has been a terrific leader. Jedi was a calming influence on his less experienced teammates. A player has to know one's own game well to organise the players around them. He is also a terrific penalty taker when we are under enormous pressure in the biggest games we play. At the same time I feel sorry for Luongo not getting a run. His form deserved it.

+x+x+x+x+x+xThe blame for lack of striking options is the fault of the FFA for not providing enough opportunities / pathways for young strikers to develop. All blame must go to FFA and HAL. Since 2005 all you wanted was the "show piece" and too put bums on seats, but youth football and development suffered. This was a long time coming, and it's not going away anytime soon, got yourselves to blame. Thanks guy who supports Australian club in Sydney but calls other Australians "you". I see this sentiment as part of the problem too. We are all pulling in different directions. By "you", I think he meant those of "you" who wanted these traditional clubs thrown out of the top league. The NSL wasn't just a bunch of "wog" teams playing at the top level but it was an ecosystem. Development clubs playing from U/12's to the top. But there was no showpiece competiton relevant to "Australians". The strong desire to compete against showpiece comps like NRL and AFL and Super12 lead to this move to ditch the NSL and the clubs. But people with good intentions didn't understand that the NSL wasn't a shit comp with wog clubs who had no mainstream appeal but a ecosystem of development. They threw out the baby with the bathwater. 15 years on we are just starting to see the insurmountable problems this has caused. I'm pretty sure in 4 years we'll be lamenting the loss of Milligan and Jedinak.because we can't cover those spots I don't get who he is speaking to on here. I'd hazard a guess the majority of people on 442 did not support the treatment of the foundation NSL clubs [I certainly didn't]. 442 members support ALL football in Australia. Not just the closed league system the FFA has developed. Furthermore, most on here, if you read the other topics, have vehemently supported a national 2nd division and pro/rel.

+x+x+xI wonder how we're going to discover a genuine striker in Australia. I can't see it happening anytime soon tbh ^ Having more than 9 professional teams and actually giving young strikers a proper chance would be a good start lol Young Australian strikers, not foreign ones. We aren't under any threat of young foreign strikers. It's the 38 year old ones that we should be worried about.

+xNew Zealand where better then the Socceroos when they meet Peru. Socceroos have sunk lower then OFC in this match. All Whites would have won given a 3rd meeting between the two of them. Well, maybe by the 3rd game the all whites might just get a shot on target.

+xFrance and Denmark literally standing still passing side to side. We were never in this. It sounds like the fix was in between those two teams against us.

+xJust watched Foz and Lucy the evening after. Wondering if supporters of every nation that fails to get out of their groups have to listen to their own version. Makes out that the PM himself holds some responsibility for Australia not going to the WC expecting to win the cup.Ffs countries with the football pedigree of Hungary and Holland have never won the WC and weren’t even there this year. Imagine having to put up with the tirade from von Foz. Yeah many countries have the same post tournament talks. Argentina had a minute silence ffs
