The first half i thought we were brilliant, the second half on the other hand was just a shambles.

Back to saturation coverage of the AFL, cricket and an Origin series that's already been wrapped up by the mighty Blues (a change in culture and attitude yours truly has actually genuinely enjoyed witnessing- let's go 3-0 baby!)

Truely shocking, remember the first 5-10 minutes ?

Fucking shocking it ended up this way.

Sick of the dancing and prancing around the box, esp from Leckie. Krusen, wooden leg. Hollow

Fuck this. Should have blooded Arzani, fucking waste. Rogic and Arzani would have been so tantalizing if it had have happened. 

Wonder if Foz is keeping it low key last Southern Expansion gets "reviewed" again by FFA

It's the same as last world cup, the Chile game was similar to this Peru match where the scoreline didn't reflect the result. The Dutch game similar to the Denmark game where we deserved a better result only difference was we performed quite well against France instead of being blitzed by Spain.

Now i am being extra harsh on Ange mainly because people who think BVM did a bad job when quite frankly in the circumstances he has got us playing quite well. But something happened to this team in the final stage of qualifying and we have forgotten how to score since

@jas 88. We don’t need more strikers who don’t score at international level.

Foz is talking nonsense lol. Only thing i agree with him on was our performance against the dutch 4 years ago was lightyears ahead of this.

Good thoughts by Craig.

Millsy just sitting with his beautiful children made me cry, but also feel lots better about the whole thing. Great work tonight by a wonderfull group of humans.

We can only hope the next generation learn to be the best in the world. Hopefully this is the last we see of these beautiful warriors who seem to only hope to beat the best in the world. No disrespect intended at all, we did our best tonight.

So disappointed in tonight's effort. Result wouldn't have mattered any way but to through away our structure like we did was mind-boggling. We only needed a win. It wasn't like we were after 4 or 5 goals but the midfield structure was abandoned and our defenders, who up to now had been our best, were very poor. Worst performance by an Australian team at a world cup so far.

Definitely. If we want to beat these teams, we need to be one of them.

We won't be one of them relying on Mile's penalties 

Love Foz but he needs to stop with this anti Bert tirade it's a bit embarrassing. The players simply aren't good enough, they can't finish. It was the same story 4 years ago.

Better coaching wouldn't have changed anything today.  We showed in the Denmark game that we could have got a result,  but today we were just shown how poor we are.  No national team coach can make our players better in the box. Time to find a second team to support 

Was For crying?

No goal scorers in the team which really sent us out of the competition.
I'm watching the game on Norwegian TV and they basically summarized Australia as a decent team, but in desperate need of a striker or 2 to put the chances in the net. We created alot and just could not finish. 

Leaving the world cup without a goal from play is extremely poor.

All credit to Peru with their game plan. They knew we had to chase a result and kept a deep defensive line to soak up play, then burst out on the counter.

Australia needs to keep on eye on young players with striker capabilities and foster that talent for the future. We are in desperate need of at least 2 players who can score goals.

Croatia and England are my picks....those two have contributed hugely to the game in this country and are basically the fatherlands to us. Hope they do well, would love it if one of them wins it.  

Fuck up Foz. 

Geez, we were the lowest ranked team in the group. Every team including Peru were ranked in the top 15. We are not the only country with high expectations of our team. Are we really surprised that we are not a top 15 side?
It’s not all bad. Today we probably had more chances than in any previous WC match. But we still only have half a team who might hold down a spot in top leagues.

So the dissection begin. 
Everything that mooy Does in an Australia shirt is benign.
Cahill is still offering more than juric and most... and that can just be the heart that is needed to play. 
Rogic grew over the 3 games. 
Leckie needs to be a full back. 
Kruse does more than people think. 
Risdon tries his guts out.
Behich is fine
Sainsbury fantastic
Arzani... future
Jedi... tough

Where are the God damn goals?
This is pretty ridiculous.

Way more disappointing than 2010,14.

We need to find players of the golden generation... yes. But more importantly we need to find the attitude that those guys had. 
Maybe I might welcome arnie into it now.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Fozzie going on about us chosing a NATIONAL style.

Fucking LOOK MAN! Quality IS NOT THERE 

GET A FUCKING CLUE MAN< Individual brilliance is not a fucking coaching methodology 

someone fucking clone viduka already

Just when I thought SBS were heading in the coach blame direction, Criag Forster actually steered away from it

If that helps you sleep tonight. Fact is this is our first world cup showing where we havent actually lead a match from opening to last game. Thats not a knock on Bert..we just didnt go for it enough..a few cut backs across the box doesnt really cut it imo. We were never in this tournamemt.

Did you forget about the 3 they scored against Scotland in 1978 ?

I'm wrong.  Go fuck yourself fuckwit.  The - oops, I just ate my own poop... bailed.  Biggest selfish prick in the Australian game.

dirty peruvian tried to steal cahills jersey off the kid lol

Alright, any bets on what the mainstream media will spin as excuses?
1) Peru offside goal/cheating
2) We dont like sokkah anyway
3) We battled hard and went down valiantly in defeat
4) BVM is to blame for not playing Cahill/not playing the Strayan way
5) Our best athletes play other sports so its ok to be shit at sokkah

Anything else?

Time to adopt a team for the rest of the comp.

No the whole squad are not quite there when it matters.

Oh fuck up Foz with the proud bullshit, it’s not taking the game forward!

OK sometimes you just don't score, but we can barely get a shot away! Not just in this game but the other 2 as well! We really have to be more attacking and less risk averse or we'll never score. I don't think Bert's ultra pragmatism and almost pathologically cautious approach suits this team at all. I'm so glad he's leaving. He simply didn't understand his players.
