Australia was very well organized and dare I say it, "well drilled" and whilst the French winner was fortunate, we hardly created a chance and certainly aside from the brain snap handball that led to the penalty, we didn't really look like troubling their defence. There is no shame in that as it is a good French team, but I will curious to see whether BVM's tactics change much when we play the other two. Having watched Denmark/Peru this morning, both are beatable, but it could suit us playing Peru last if we do get a result against Denmark and assuming they have nothing to play for. I must say, I do like the way Peru approached the game, full on attack and whilst it didn't produce an equalizer, it was an exciting game to watch. It could be that there is a bigger role for Arzani in the next game, I guess the question is how you slot him in. I am not sure carrying all of Leckie, Nabbout and Kruse at the same time makes much sense, so perhaps one of them could be left out and Arzani gets a spot. As “well drilled” as a former Spartans team? Pretty sure Australia has little choice but to be disciplined and if that requires practice and repetition, then so be it. Can safely say if people are not comfortable with the style now, what Arnold is about to serve up will be even worse, as he will have time to implement.

I must admit Sainsbury & Milligan absolutely brilliant in the back. Jedinack needs to be benched. If you watch the game again the amount of balls he lost or not playing his position, he was lucky to have the 2 centre halves covering for him. Risdon was very disappointing and funnily enough i did say to the group i was watching with that the goal will come from him. He was very weak and 1st touch disgraceful. He needs to be ther first replacement.

Rogic, Juric and Kruze.....Can anyone point to a single thing they did well?
Leckie, Sainsbury, Arzani.......a class above.
Coach......full marks for lifting the team well above the level they were playing at in the qualifiers.

Australia blew that game. Cahill would have made the difference late in the game. We cannot score. Some of those players have been given enough opportunities in recent years and it's time other players are bought into the squad after this WC. I don't care how many goals they score in the leagues they play, get new blood in there. They couldn't score against a 1 man defence with no keeper in the goal ! Arzani will lift our game in this country on his own. Leckie played like a legend and was my man of the match by a mile. He went for it all game. I'm really proud of the team. Coach made the wrong call in my opinion.
