Even though the current Socceroos team isn’t exactly filled with old players, it does feel a little stale and could really use an injection of energy and drive that a lot of these Olyroos offer. I feel like the Socceroos are far more risk averse than this Olyroos team too who are keen to have a dig with long shots and constant attacking pressure.

Love Milligan for his leadership and he's still performing well but he'll be gone soon. Kruse has been around way too long and that decent half vs UAE won't save him. 

Luongo just seems annoyed and rightly so perhaps. He's at a crossroads now. Sainsbury and Behich just aren't enjoying themselves at PSV. Degenek lost his head after signing that new deal. 

Bring in Atkinson, McGree and Souttar for starters.

Top tackle Souttar. I wonder how he'd stack up against Burgess or Susnjar? Susnjar has totally gone off the radar and is in the Korean 2nd division.

Must not lose this otherwise it could get a bit tight.

Due to groups having different number of teams (after the withdrawal of Pakistan from Group F), the results against the fourth-placed teams in four-team groups are not considered for this ranking.

Everything about this team screams Arnold, that isn't a good thing.

Korea are going to score at least 1 more goal.

Olyroos quite rusty now. Gaps forming and the pitch is kicking up a lot of dirt.

Just home from work and the last thing I thought would have happened is a D'Astingo double having us in front. Never rated him but well done on proving me wrong.

KOR take control of the ball and make decisions, AUS hit and hope. The game plan at the moment appears to be park the bus.

Piscopo should have been given a yellow card just then.

BTW I hate how Arnold tries to micromanage the entire team. There is zero confidence in a single player making the correct decision at any point.

Wow, that was unexpected. I thought defending on the edge of your box with all 10 outfield players was the best way to secure your lead. /s

That was inevitable. Now it's time to see how this pans out.


By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

At least we led for a little while. I’m happy with that.
Now comes the onslaught of goals and our eventual loss.

They were giving that player on their left far too much room and he assisted the goal.

These boys have no idea how to bypass a defensive press, nor do any of them carry the ball with their heads up. All of them run with their heads down waiting for someone to tell them what to do.

Our RB looks rubbish. I'd target him all game.
