What was the point?

Ange has basically spent 2 years and 20+ games playing a formation (and probably a few players) that no other coach will play at the WC. 
So I ask, Ange; "What was the point? Was it for your own professional satisfaction (I won't say ego). It certainly didn't make qualification easier. It certainly didn't make us world beaters - not even the best in Asia. And the new coach now has what, 3 or 4 games? So, WHAT WAS THE POINT?"

And then couldn't get 1 of 4 Auto spots ?

Or is the team worse now ?

I didn't comment on that, only commented on the brushing aside of the Asian cup win as any sort of achievement. Your point about the qualifying campaign only increases the AC achievement, really.
But Australia were, and are, only a striker away from being a good team. If we were an A-League club we would just buy a foreigner.
