Interesting, but Uruguay are a cut above Socceroo's. We don't have the wood on them . . just look at our history against them. Korea are the same . . they crapped on us last time out. We've never really dominated them.
Pim has done well to get us as far as we have got, ditching him prior to the cup wasn't an option. It just would not have worked. He didn't deliver the play we wanted, but I don't think we exactly had the players to match what some other teams are delivering.
Either way, our next coach needs to take the Roo's on with a different mentality, time for the team to change its approach. I think Fozz had some good points in his post http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/craig-foster/blog/1010289/Picking-the-right-Socceroos-coach-is-a-must

Stifler, maybe it's an exaggeration to say we have the wood on them, but certainly I'd back our lads against Uruguay or Sth Korea rather than any other potential Semi finalists...
Meanwhile, Harry Kewell says Verbeek misread the mood of the Socceroos, who wanted to play an attacking game against Germany:
"We don't fare well in defensive organisation - we go out there to try and run over teams and that's probably why Guus (Hiddink) had such a good stint," Kewell said. "He let us off the leash and let us go wild. I'm not saying that Pim totally restricted us, but sometimes you need to gamble."
Exactly.
