FMD- at this point, Australia are the only team in the Asian Confederation going home without a win. Even Iran and shit like KSA are going home with wins...

Between the 4-0 drubbing to Germany costing them round of 16 qualification in 2010, the group of death draw and this, the Socceroos can't catch a break at WC level. And why are we getting Arnie in? Surely keep Bert until the ACL next year at least! I don't want to be in the same position 3 years from now, scraping by with shitty 1-0 wins and just making it into the next WC, only to get fucked over or get drawn in another group of death.

So sick of this bravely falling short nonsense. It's not 2006 anymore...

But he did have a cut back into the box but Kruse was sadly out of position , should have been in the box but ran to the ball Juric had covered like a six year old 

First of all, we aren't counter attacking, second of all it was offside and third of all we are still playing far better than we ever did under Ange. Go watch him relegate a good Japanese team

We’re not up to it

That was the first in a litany of shit errors by Kruse. He stares at the ball and just wanders towards it – he lacks any sense.

Just need a bit more luck in the final touch. Some really great football. Bvm got is playing very well but we just need that finishing! Wonder what bvm could have done with the team if he had had more time. 
Rogic having a great game. Risdon good and behich. Juric not sure. 

I just want a moment to celebrate. Don’t even care if we lose the r16 just want to make it. Why don’t the football gods smile on us

Our performance against the dutch in 2014 was better than this and we actually lead 2-1 with chances to bury them. We have played catch up this entire tournament.

We look very tired.

I want a win. Fuckin tired of losing and drawing.

Fearing the worst - looks like it's just not gonna happen...

Feeling like this will end up being a valiant 1-1 draw or 1-0 loss....but it may be ultimately irrelevant anyway because Denmark vs France looking increasingly like a 0-0... some of the French plays have been all over the place or completely wasteful....lots of misplaced passes and speculative shots from distance.

Rogic needs to just pin the ears back and ping one in. No-one else is gonna score, he's playing with confidence should just back himself the big bastard.

Guerrero offside by a mile. Just fucked. 

Will Bert put Timmy on after half time?

Would love to know BVM reasoning if we don’t make some attacking changes here.

I'm gonna try drinking heavily to see if it makes the second half easier to deal with 

Conceding 3 goals a game, the Ange way

surprised at the lack of VAR

the 3 we have conceded are no more difficult than chances we get several times a game

we have to improve our finishing

He watches football more often than once every 4 years, so no

Yep absolute disgrace, as clear cut as anything this tournament and they missed it

And was in position to sweep a pass from Rogic into the net but the pass didn't come.

They've turned off var after yesterday's game

Don't get stuck into the refs, you bludgers need to learn how to score

Our players having a talk with the officials. They might have seen it on a screen. Annoying no VAR. Ffs more controversy 

what is it with Australia having our hearts broken by South American teams in qualifying scenarios 

They appear to be bum chumming a bit and trying to pass to each other. Almost as if they are ignoring Juric altogether.

I don't like it, they will both struggle. Kruse could use Juric better imo, he uses Hinterseer's size well at Bochum. 

France - Denmark 0-0 .. not much happening there, anyone would think they are trying to make a draw 

It's the same shit the TV has been calling for all along - keep the flag down and let the VAR sort it out, except it doesn't.  Ask Jets how that works.

Come On!! Second half lets make it happen

With lesser players.
