AFC Asian Cup 2023 (Qatar Champions)

[FreoRicci]

Put the high line! Get the line up! Ffs.

 

[gaskin]

Now can we finally sack this ****wad? Surely the powers that be can see he has no ****ing idea.

 

[Mr Meow]

A stupid Miller leg away from a famous win (13 shots to 2 Australia's way at that point). Conceding that penalty was the death knell.

 

[FreoRicci]

Hope that’s the last of Duke, Miller and Jones for Australia.

 

[Zidane98]

100/1 chance of an equaliser now.

 

[FreoRicci]

Guess the 2 extra day break did nothing

 

[Zidane98]

Hope that’s the last of Duke, Miller and Jones for Australia.

Miller & Jones are young, they'll bounce back.

Duke at 33 needs to retire.

 

[Mr Meow]

On the balance of the 90 yep I'd agree with that, but you don't play the luck game against world class players and keep winning

The luck game had Australia create most of the dangerous chances until the penalty.

I'm not an Arnold advocate at all and never have been, but Australia were the far more effective team until that stuff up by Miller.

 

[Topkent]

Good.
* you Arnold. Defensive football doesn’t belong in the sport

We need to send the next generation of Aussie coaches to Tottenham right now and tell them to shadow the **** outta Ange and learn his mentality. **** Arnold and **** defensive shit

 

[FreoRicci]

Cannot believe Andy Harper attacked Ange as coach of Australia yet backs Arnold.

 

[Topkent]

Miller & Jones are young, they'll bounce back.

Duke at 33 needs to retire.

Retire? He's 3 years younger than our superstar striker

 

[samFFC]

Game over.
I think Arnie is gone.

 

[jhong]

So instead of making the Koreans chase the ball and tire out , it’s been the other way around , missed chances and a brainless couple of tackles from Miller and here we are .

 

[Zidane98]

Retire? He's 3 years younger than our superstar striker

He's not scoring goals regularly which is the difference. Fornaroli won't continue either.

Harper is a ****ing moron. Everyone knows that.

 

[damicky]

I just woke up & saw the score

We were so close to winning

 

[largebus]

Yup and that's the problem too, I don't even like watching this when we win let alone when we lose. It's just boring as * and inevitable.

It's fine in moderation, you just need to know when to be more assertive. People were smashing Ange for not being pragmatic enough whenever we lost badly with the world-class Robbie Kruse up front, so you cant win.

At the end of the day we're just an average footballing country.

Cannot believe Andy Harper attacked Ange as coach of Australia yet backs Arnold.

I can because Andy Harper is a ****ing moron.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Watch it be 2 or 3 goal loss.

 

[Zidane98]

Harry up front haha

 

[omgfridge]

Harper is a ******* moron. Everyone knows that.

I can because Andy Harper is a ******* moron.

I absolutely wasn't at the time and people can go back and fact check that. I loved Anges Australian sides they gave you hope. I ****ing despise the way we play now.
Ange now coaches Tottenham, Arnold I ****ing guarantee won't and that proves how stupid people were for bashing Ange, he had a crap Aussie team scoring against world class nations

 

[Topkent]

Harry up front haha

Christ 15 mins of long ball knockdowns

 

[FreoRicci]

Then take a risk. Back the youngsters. Play attacking football.
Instead it’s results and hoping to score.
A lot of it is the development of the game. I was super pissed that Ange was pushed out for the 2018 WC cycle.

Ange is right. You can qualify, make R16 but Australia will never back football like every other country.

 

[FreoRicci]

Push the line up. Sitting back still.
