FAO Arena, Kranjcar

"I believe we're better than Australia and Japan is also beatable. I'm satisfied."

"This time around you'd probably say Australia and Trinidad and Tobago are the weak ones."

Apologies will be accepted in this thread.

Kranjcar's quote that you posted is just one of many. Some were along the lines of "Brazil is the only game to think about, we know we are better than Australia and Japan." "we have better players so therefore we will qualify ahead of Australia" bla bla bla. Mate if you have better players and you failed to qualify then I guess it must be your fault!

Either that or the reality is you don't have better players! And as for Bruce Arena, well, I think 1 point says it all.

I think bruce arena was alittle unlucky, who would have guessed that ghana would have played so well. The US were truely in the Group of Death.

Many eggs on his face though for the ignorant comments

BS,

He made his bed, now he has to lie in it.

Bruce Arena went into the World Cup games with a negative attitude by playing a 5- 4 –1 formation with Brian McBride virtually alone up front. Landon Donavan there other striker is way to short to be playing the role he was assigned, he should be like Tim Cahill where he can dart into the box or make his runs from behind the entry of the ball.

He should have attacked more, as the best form of defence is offence

Even before the world cup the exchange rate was 1.00 Michael Essien = 23.412 Americans.

done, here is the message that was submitted

I'm sure that you would remember that before the World Cup your arrogant, loud mouth coach Bruce Arena, who must actually beleive that the US is actually the fifth best team in the world had some comments regarding Australia's chances in the World Cup. Here is what he had to say: "This time around you'd probably say Australia and Trinidad and Tobago are the weak ones." As well as Austrlias is here to make up the numbers.
Well was'nt that arrogant man wrong. The group stages are over and his fat arse is on his way back to the US and all he could achieve was a draw, where as Australia, who anybody could see had a much better team is still in Germany playing after the group stages and are a very good chance of getting past Italy, seeing as they could'nt even beat the Bruce Arena inspired American team.
I demand that he makes a public apology to the whole Australian team and public for his arrogance and stupidity.

I guess "Tina" Arena and Kranky will arrive home before their postcards?

 

[RoosterLad]

Haha i love it!
This is just a follow-on from Recoba crapping on about Uruguay having 'a divine right' to be in the World Cup not little nations like us1

 

[Stealth bomber]

Bruce Arena won't be coaching the US in four years time, you can bet on that.

Whilst both were stupid to make the comments they made. To be fair to the US, IMO Australia wouldn't have made it out of Group E and Arena was probably responding to a question as to whether the USA were to be the tournament whipping boys.

I would think he could have at least said teams like Togo, Tunisa and Saudi Arabia.

we might not have, but there is no doubt that Australia has a far better team then the US

 

[Matt_TY]

Australia are like the USA, but with more quality, particularly going forward.

You said it, Coughlan. And the world knows it.
