Before I start I want to complain. My two boys are in Singapore and watched this match with the incomparable and possibly the greatest commentator of all time, Peter Drury, doing the commentary. SBS had David Basheer who isn't even in the top three in australia. True football fans would have wanted Drury. SBS should ditch Basheer and leave us with the pommy commentators. They are the best and if Drury is doing our game publicies it to the hilt!
The socceroos did us proud. After an uncertain start ( that fooled me) they played well.
The defeat against Argentina was to be expected. They are rated number 3 for a reason and they do have the best player in the world!
We lost 2:1. Those two goals came from:
- a free kick that should not have occurred in that part of the field
- Ryan's stuff up came from two back passes that should not have happened
We created some good chances and almost pulled a draw from being 2:0 down. Given our lack of talent this was extraordinary.
Looking forward to the next World cup we need a left back, a few midfielders particularly a defensive one, and a striker.
We need better coaches in the A-League and a better system to discover new talent and then to put that potential into practice. We also need better guidance for Australians going overseas.
Well done fellahs!!
