In order for Australia to progess, they must not progess in this WC any further

Everyone will probably disagree with me but I think in order for Australia to progress as a footballing nation we must not progress any further. There are numerous reasons why I believe this, but basically after this World Cup its the end of an era in Australian Football.

If we get through to the round of 16 then it will only create delusion. Quiet frankly we don't deserve to progress. The team is diabolical.
I can't fathom how a team can be trailing in a WC lose a man and put there forth defensive midfielder on.
I can't understand how Richard Garcia can play up front when half of his caps for his country have come in our last three games and he's been injured all season.
I have no fucking clue while Craig Moore gets to play over the other defenders Australia have. I think Colosimo, Ognovski or even some younger CB would have been more beneficial.
I don't understand how our game play consisted of crossing but our big target man is on the bench, why is Cahill, a player notorious for feeding off crumbs the one that has to play as target man?
This is just the tip of the iceberg, and we can't fix any of it until Pim is replaced.

To be fair to the boys, Germany played the best performance of any team in the WC so far, they were really well drilled.

Pim is just too one dimensional and everything he has done has been poor and has cost us this chance. His choice in players, formation, tactics is all rubbish.

I think the WC is a wasted chance not for us to do well but to give our youth some vital experience. Instead we have sent out a bunch of hacks that have had there time and we will achieve nothing.

I can't wait for the WC to be over (for Australia) as the winds of change (Pim fucking off) hopfully will lift us in the right direction, and guide the new generation to even better feats than the last.

I'm inclined to agree with this, particularly since Pim's tactics will most likely see us perform disgracefully in the other two games.


If he can't field Kewell and Emmo on the wings and Kennedy upfront he fails as a coach.
