I found the game very frustrating however this could work in our favour Ghana may underestimate us now. We need to bounce back in a big way. Looking forward to Thursday.

Well he has finally been found out, no one's surprised just try not to further destroy our world cup pim

Pim you stuffed up.

We were always going to lose this match. Let's not kid ourselves. I really hope we can improve. We can still get through this group.

Here's a link showing the boys smiling, which we need to rediscover.

People aren't angry because we lost.

People are angry because Pim didn't give us any chance of taking the game to the Germans. He set us up to fail in a bizarre move to minimise damage, undoing all the good work of the previous campaign and shattering the image of Australians as a determined and athletic team with a never say die attitude.

Hopefully this will be a (painful, but essential) learning experience for all of us. The FFA needs to know that if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. I realised that Pim wasnt their first choice, but we need a coach with more confidence in himself and our players. Pim's tactics from the first day indicated a fear of mistakes. Whilst I'm hardly advocating a return to the Farina days of pushing forward to the extent that you are left hoping you score more goals than you let in, a happy medium would be ideal. Unlike Guus who worked with the team at his disposal, Pim selected a squad capable of playing a style he is comfortable with. This may work very well at club level where you can buy and sell players, but at national level you can only work with what you have got. Australia simply dont have the capacity to play counter attacking football.

The good news is that Germany will likely also beat Ghana and Serbia. Serbia are without their first team central defender and even against Ghana never really threatened. I honestly think Germany will destroy Serbia by an even greater margin than the 4 they put past us.
