Oh no, Jurich's likely to be a starter....increasing the chances of no goals being scored by us. The big lug is back!

You know what I'd throw Maclaren in the game instead. Why not, he can't do any worse. Maybe Jurich or Rodic will surprise us and score a couple. I won't be holding my breath though. I just want the boys to win and get through to the next round. I'd consider that a successful WC for us and if they go any further it's a bonus.
GOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU GOOD THINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Juric, Kruze and Risdon ( spellcheck) certainly maintained their consistency

The issue of Australia’s inability to score goals and in particular lack of strikers raises its head again - it’s certainly not a new phenomenon. Go to any YPL training session and there’s very little focus on what strikers do - not just shooting but how to create the space/opportunity that leads to a shot. The “better” strikers across youth teams/ joeys etc seem to come out of the same mould where their size and strength is their most obvious talent. I’m guessing Juric may well have been one of these “talented” strikers in his youth......and is now a waste of a playing strip. No touch, no agility/speed, no intelligence, can’t shoot and has no strength to hold up the ball.

Unfortunately tarzan you are absolutely correct. What a huge disappointment last night was. Rodic did some good things but he frustratingly takes toooo many touches in front of the goal, just bloody shooooot ! Cahill was jumping around in the penalty area while the crosses went 2 metres above his head or 3 metres behind or in front of him. Leckie is hot and cold and last night in front of the goals he was -10 degrees.
I jumped up when Arzarni fired one in from outside the box only to see it just skim over the bar but at least the kid has a go ! By the way don't tell me the France v Denmark game wasn't a rort. 0-0 my rear end !

I'm devastated that Germany lost too.
By the way, is it right that the 2022 WC will have 48 teams to start with ?

I don't think that this has sunk in yet with major financial implications for clubs, TV companies and sponsors. Watch this space !!

Well, T-Man said France were poor and unlikely to get far, so presumably they are gone after the quarters...
