			    +xMaybe one day Australia will actually play in the Olympics again.   Remember when we used to do that when results actually mattered?   Results mattering is now violence against sockah players. The other teams have been informed so will take it easy on us and let us win the body shapes contest.

			    I can’t actually think off the top of my head of a BIG NAME club coach who has done anything of note with a National team. 
 Hiddink is probably the closest

			    +x+xCoaching club football is different to international football. LOL you guys really have no clue.  😅😅😅 It's very much international.  Say's the guy who dreams of a coach nearing pension age who has only been successful at a club with an open cheque-book and has never entered the international arena.  GTFOH you dope.

			    +x+x+x+x+xhttps://www.transfermarkt.com/trainer/verfuegbaretrainer/statistik+x+x+x+x+xOverseas coaches are never long term. They are journey men. If we want the best we can get out of our team they must understand the Australian football culture and mentality. Only one overseas coach came close, Hiddink. Outside of those, there are very few who have the pedigree to navigate qualification in Asia and perform at a World Cup, while instilling a football culture and playing style.  There are plenty more. Plenty.  Name them... Too many to list.  If I get  paid I will find them!

			    @Feed the Brox
 I quite like Arnie’s tactic, as in his formation. Personally, I think he is being a bit hard done by, as there has been a lot of injuries, and the crux of our issue really is, and has been (as evidenced by the WCQ under Ange, as well as the WC itself under Bert), that we don’t have an out and out striker that is deadly.
 Yes, I think the term I heard last night was like 18 goals in 7 games under Ange, but most of them were against nufties. But still, they were goals I guess.
 I do feel confident under Arnie. But not under our strikers.

			    Arnie in. The experience that he and the younger players have gained from this tournament is invaluable  and will be beneficial for the World Cup qualifiers. Add a fully fit Mooy, Arzani, Boyle, Nabbout and Leckie and the performances will be even better. Our depth has been tested and while not excelling we have passed the test - a platform for success has been established.
