Especially since Italy didn't qualify (again LOL).
I wanted Arnie sacked after the Asian qualifiers just because of the negative mindset he had us playing even against weaker opponents. Thankfully in the playoffs where it's sudden death he finally allowed the team to play with more attacking intent as you say.
In amongst all the Redmayne clown show stuff just quietly our pens (bar Boyles) were pretty much perfect

Has the rule of the keeper needing to stay on his line gone out the window in a penalty shootout?
Not being smart, genuine question.

I looked back at Roberto Baggio and his years in the national side. Played in world cup in 1990, 1994 and 1998. Didn't play in the 1988, 1992, 1996 and 2000 euros. He was underappreciated in Italy.
Ian Wright had a good club career for crystal place and Arsenal and west ham.
Didn't get in the 1990 world cup team. Was injured during the euro 1992 tournament. England didn't make world cup 1994. Didn't get in the euro 1996 team and wasn't in the 1998 world cup despite playing a good season for Arsenals team that won the premier league
Tony Dorigo was raised in Melbourne and Adelaide. Yet represented England in the 1990 world cup despite being born in Australia.
Toss up between Hrustic and Mabil for the best penalty. Hrustic for his football smarts while I loved Mabil keeping his composure when the Peruvian keeper was trying every trick in the book to put him off.

That keeper knew what he was doing all along.
He trolled everyone. You, me, the entire Peru side, the media, the people's in the stadium, the people who watched on tv. Everyone.

Thought successful kicks were all excellent.Goodwin because of the risk of higher kick but that was unstoppable due to height

I have criticised Arnold as much as anyone, and I still don’t think he’s much chop.
But you can’t deny his love and passion for the national team, it clearly meant so much to him.
So I’m thrilled for him in that sense.

For Peru , my Qatar gently weeps

Brilliant result.
Was planning on watching on delay this morning but found myself wide awake just before 5am so managed to watch live from half time.
Thought we played quite well though we really do lack that quality up front. I was surprised at how poor Peru were, we were clearly the better side and deserved to advance, though it wasn't looking good there through extra time.
Love him or hate him Arnie got us through the toughest qualification you're ever likely to see and for that he, along with all staff and every player who has been a part of the process, deserves a lot of credit. What was it, 2 or 3 qualifiers at home?
We're not likely to miss a World Cup again (if the 48 team format stays permanent) but it should never ever be underestimated just how big an achievement it is to make it there. Oh, we're going to get smacked, you say - whilst that may be so, it is hardly the point.
This is massive for soccer in Australia and I hope that the sport really uses it as a launching pad from which it can correct itself, because the path it has been on for a while has been the wrong one.

Didn't watch the game in it's entirety but wow what a win certainly didn't expect that. My partner came running out of the shower when she thought something happened to me as I screamed in jubilation. She then told me off for screaming, and told me to consider the neighbours, but to be honest couldn't give a stuff about the neighbours, also wasn't that loud. Anyway loved reading through this thread with the melting going on. Didn't realise the keeper jumping around caused such a stir. Anyway we are through that's all that matters.
Absolutely thrilled this morning, pumped with the result.
On the Volpato discussion, I am a big believer in reducing the leeway a player has when representing a nation. It's become almost a club situation, with players waiting for the best offer before deciding. Need to tighten the criteria, as it should most definitely be obvious which nation each player can represent, and only up for debate in unique scenarios. Also a player should be tied after one senior competitive appearance.

Pool of death usually needs 4 awesome teams. The most our pool could muster is three if we are in it.
Anyway well done guys. Fell over the line but it makes up for some of the heartbreaks over the last 30 years or so.
15:1 we make it out of the group stage.
