World Cup 2018 FIFA World Cup-Group C Thread (Australia, France, Peru, Denmark)

[longsuffreosupp]

I maybe wrong but was Nabbout more of a winger in the A-league? Doesn't seem to be as effective as a striker. Kruse was ok, but isn't dangerous close to goal.

 

[Rack Watts]

Mel looks great in that retro socceroos top.

 

[Gibbsy]

That was a little sad hearing Arzani be so hard on himself in that interview. He was so influential when he came on. Couldn’t have done much more.

 

[hey shorty]

Anyone else reckon Eriksen ****** his knee celebrating?

Well he did **** all after it.

 

[The_Todd07]

Basically need:
Peru & Denmark to defeat France
Australia to defeat Peru (by a few goals just in case of goal diff)

More realistic would be
France beat Peru
France beat Denmark (hopefully France decide to try despite being safe)
We beat Peru
Scores allow us to go through on goal difference

 

[happy_eagle]

Surprised Hernandez has recovered from his fractured arm, leg and foot to get up for this one.
That is a pretty deadly lineup for France though. We want Peru to win right ?

 

[Wolfs]

Everyone is going on about Cahill like he's some sort of god.

I trust the manager who he is bringing on. Cahill is probably cooked.

Still... I want to see him in the Peru game even as a swan song

No way I want an swan song game for Cahill in a potential decider.

 

[Rack Watts]

Well he did **** all after it.

Yeah, stood still the whole game.

I liked it, shows a drive and want to improve

 

[StingBitten]

Cahill ain’t the ****ing future.

 

[hey shorty]

No way I want an swan song game for Cahill in a potential decider.

Maybe if we are up 4 or 5 lol

 

[Getlegs]

Yep...


But ideally, Peru beat France 1-0 imo

Is that the best case scenario? Don't we want a draw, then France to smash Denmark?

 

[GreyCrow]

More realistic would be
France beat Peru
France beat Denmark (hopefully France decide to try despite being safe)
We beat Peru
Scores allow us to go through on goal difference

what will happen

France beat Peru , guaranteed spot.
France and Denmark play a bruise free 1- 1 Draw - both go through

 

[carnthemlions]

Kick the shit out of that campaigner Hernandez Peru. Not surprised Giroud's starting this one, Peru will struggle to handle him- plus, Demeble still hasn't proven shit.

 

[The_Todd07]

that ball where Leckie hit in to the ground and bounced up! Cahill would have buried it!

Leckie probably would have too if Juric wasn't charging the shot down

 

[gym4life]

Basically need:
Peru & Denmark to defeat France

Wrong

 

[Wolfs]

So Matuidi and Giroud are the only ins.

Fair enough but wouldn't have started Giroud. Feel he's best as a sub for France.

 

[hey shorty]

Is that the best case scenario? Don't we want a draw, then France to smash Denmark?

The question is, if France win, will they even try next Thursday ?? Denmark dont look great to me though

 

[RossFC]

I gotta say these guys have surpassed my expectations. We really took it up to France but were unlucky. Then, apart from the shit start, we really put Denmark on the ropes for a bit.

Peru though is must win. We've shown great promise, this time we get a W.

 

[happy_eagle]

More realistic would be
France beat Peru
France beat Denmark (hopefully France decide to try despite being safe)
We beat Peru
Scores allow us to go through on goal difference

Lets not forget that finishing 1st over 2nd might be the difference between playing Iceland instead of Argentina/Croatia. Don't think either side will tank in the last if they can control their potential opponent in the Round of 16.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Tactical errors all over the place from Shitbert.

 

[hey shorty]

Wrong

Yep.

If France imploded in their next 2 then all we would need to do is beat Peru.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

I’m liking our squad,all have a crack.

Future is bright for the Socceroos.

Best defense we’ve played for a long time that second half.

It would be if that campaigner Arnold wasn't taking over after this WC.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Basically need:
Peru & Denmark to defeat France
Australia to defeat Peru (by a few goals just in case of goal diff)

This couldn't be further from the truth. There are pros and cons for all potential results in the France vs Peru game.

 

[hey shorty]

Tactical errors all over the place from Shitbert.

Hardly.

Our inability to put the thing in the net is what cost us
