Yubbs/Aussies/ WC

[ozfan]

We're looking shaky at the back and the middle. Kennedy, Rogic and Wilkshire out. There is very little international experience in our backs. Not looking good :s Still, right now we're still in with a shot. :D

Yeh not much of a chance, there just doesn't seem to be any world class players coming through.

We have a lot(a lot for Australia)of average players to choose from these days, just no Kewel's, Viduka's, Bosnich's, Cahil's

[OZHAMMER]

after the euphoria of qualifying for germany against uruguay, i really expected a solid growth of talent for decades...

... i look back now and think that maybe we were just extremely lucky to have all those players at their peak at the same time.

A spirited performance over night, but just proved we are out of our depth

[ozfan]

Well yubbs besides that horrible two minutes where we leaked two goals I thought we played really well. We could have easily been awarded a spot kick when Cahill was blatantly pulled in the box...um. Anyway. Some brilliant keeping to keep Milligan's volley out. Another goal dis-allowed for being slightly offside.Matthew Leckie impressed me greatly.

Besides the starting nerves at no time did I feel we were out of our depth.

[yubbywelch]

We played alright in the first 5, then the next 10 like you said was the killer

[ozfan]

Can't see the clog lovers causing us too many issues and I'll be disappointed if we don't score at least seven goals. Should be a romp. Yep. 'Reckon we'll win the whole thing.

[yubbywelch]

Easily

[ozfan]

Not bad from a country with 200 football players sponsored by a pie shop.

[yubbywelch]

we gave a good account of ourselves.

Villa should sign Leckie
