Poulsen dictated play for the Danes and we didn't let him get the moment of brilliance bar 1 shot in.

Holman played some positive football. Good on him. He doesn't seem like such a waste of space now.

I think Grella is out of his depth. I can see him getting a red quite easily at the world cup. Both in the Denmark and the NZ game he has done some highly questionable tackles. I never feel easy watching him play these days.


+1

Agree. Grella has got to go. He did three bad tackles in this friendly. one right in the first 10 mins.
In the WC he will be sent off early, we will be down 10 me for 80 mins and struggle to keep a clean sheet. The guy needs anger management to calm him down.
For the rest of the team. Bloody brilliant effort.
One of the best soccer matches I've seen Australia play so far :)

Also for Kennedy : よく出来ましたよ。 ゲームは凄かっただよ。 ワルッドカップにゴールをシュット下さいね。

Just like we all said to the Kiwis, lets not get carried away with this. It's just a friendly, remember.

That said:
Good to get another win.
Wilkshire is a BEAST. Such a good player. Must start.

You could see it was a warm up game, it had that feel to it, which makes auskiwi's comments in the other thread to me even more laughable. (oh Kiwi's :oops:, taking warm up games seriously :lol: :lol: :lol: ....:) how are ya NZ boys, all well :)

Was a kickaround, interesting to note that the players' think the ball is a big issue.

It was a glorified training session, the syle of play was never going to be attacking, every person who had anything to do with the squad, was involved in the media or isn't blinjd knew that we were going to focus on our defence and couters today.

Those of you carrying as though we are an absolute shambles because of the way we played need to wake up to yourselves. Forget about hte score, there were some real positive to take out of the game, esp in defence. I was actually quite surprised with Moore as well.

You haven't watched bundesliga all season have you? This is probably Germany's strongest side in a while, with Muller and Gomez on form. Their defence looks its best in a while and no Ballack isn't really a hinderance. Their biggest problem will be dealing with Rolfes' absence and Borowski can fill that role.

He really isn't Denmark's x-factor, he's a distributor, but you've got guys like Bendtner and Kahlenberg who they turn to to really turn a game on its head.

My $0.02 (if anyone even reads it):

Holman not constantly turning over and played well, good game by him - he was the only one that was running at players and forcing bad decisions, something others should've been doing. Grella is a tool, we cannot afford to risk using him. I reckon Vidosic should be an absolute certainty. Garcia didn't impress me. Moore has stepped up a notch, thank god. Despite the odd ball movement Wilkshire is an absolute champ at those crosses from the right. Kennedy was amazingly calm and collected with the ball at his feet in close to goal, I am SO happy to see his confidence at that sort of level

What I found interesting is that now in both games the non preferred midfield seemed to control that area of the field better. Was it because the other side also had their non-preferred on at that time? I don't know. But the passing was much more direct, precise, and showed some imagination.


I mostly agree!

Obviously you haven't. Podolski, Gomez and Klose have scored what not even 20 goals between them this season. Very poor form and the loss of Rolfe and Ballack will hinder them a fair bit.

Last I heard the German media were saying Gomez wasn't even going to make the final 23 weren't they?
