4 goals and counting 

i think they got a 'few more' tricks but this is working for them 

KM is simply too fast, too skillful and too good. - not many players can keep him quite in fairness 

 France should go far in this tournament unfortunately for us we will need to win against Danes and Tunisia now to 'have a hope' as our goal difference isnt great 

im with Kewell we played to 'defensive' i mean sure even when losing   

The other thing I see, do our players ever go in a gym, no upper body strength,  it has been since 2006 since I've seen an Aussie player that looks like he's a grown man

Shut up Harry Garang Kuol has literally just come on against France in the world cup and your criticising him for not making a run

He concede plenty against France himself. 

He never makes saves. Just watched it go into the net. You could make a compilation of him just watching it. 

FFS...why only one change when we were getting pantsed up and down the park. They've had some great shots, but they've made it look easy getting in to those positions. Ryan, Atkinson, Rowles all been guilty at times. We used to be world leaders at physical football, now we can't even do that. No skill, no physicality

Fair comment. Blokes like Neill were stacked

Damn first time Behich has kicked it straight back to Ryan

Three routine crosses into the box. Three goals. How can we be so poor at dealing with these? Mbappe and Dembele were always going to get the occasional cross into the box. This should have been the one area we set ourselves to not be beaten. 

Can't just stop two of the best in world football because you thought about it and decided you want to

OMG just end this. Put us out of our misery ffs. So bad. 

Haven't deserved to make the last 2 WC's, let's be straight up about it.

2018 were carried by Timmy Cahill- and even then it took a fair share of luck against Syria just to get the chance against Honduras.

This campaign again we had to go the long way around and luck played it's part.

As exciting as it is to see the likes of Kuol and some of these younger guys- and as much as I want to take more than a casual interest in 2026- I'd rather we miss out than go around the back way again and sneak in. 

As it stands I can't think of a nation that has a worse wins per games record in this competition. We are the WC equivalent of the bye. Every single other country who qualifies secretly prays they get us in their pool. 

Irvine and Behicc been good. 

By subbing Atkinson 😅

Rowles and Akintson are still on, so pretty clear GA is just giving them experience on the world stage

they are simply are a mile better in regards to player quality, i hammer GA for being an average manager but he didnt set up 'wrong' today we simple are not good enough 

I said this pre-match not many teams can beat France they have probably the best squad on the planet 

Congratulations to our sweeper for making his first save in the 80th minute

As for Ryan he gets paid to have the best seat in the house as a spectator. 

Every pass from mooy to kuol has had him have to stop and turn back,  id start kuol next match we need positivity from the start.

we got Denegek  and we playing Rowles 

In fairness, the crosses were quality. Absolutely pinpoint.

You can at least position yourself to get some body on them. There were two players on Giroud yet the header was essentially uncontested. You seriously think Popa, Moore or Neil would have been so soft?

Congrats to Degenek and Baccus on a world cup debut. 

No, i seriously don't. And the point has already been raised, our entire 11 look like clothes pegs. Not a single player out there able to bring any physicality. It's surreal that this is Australia 

Behich has actually been decent to be fair, but Atkinson has been destroyed. Hard to blame him though… Arnold picked him and started him. The guy has absolutely no pace. Zero. He needs someone else backing him up,  otherwise no chance. Mbappe is a monster and Arnold has basically given him no respect in my opinion. All good Nathaniel, you can take care of him by yourself… he’s not that good that Kylian.

Someone need to make a video of him, bent at the knees watching it helplessly go past him with no attempt to dive or save 

Those guys wouldn't let such things near the striker. 

Not the same Langerak.
on the third goal Ryan should have come out and dive outstretched to stop the cross which is a normal goalkeeper exercise at training.I stead Ryan pulled his arms back and let it roll pass.
The fourth goal he saw the ball coming off Giroud’s head and didn’t even have any instinct to move.All that moved was his head watching the ball go past him.

Agree. But these have just been basic lobs into the box that should be dealt with. They haven’t been pin point crosses with pace that take the defenders out of the game.
