It gets worse. I've never seen us fall apart with 2 goals in 30 seconds, both horrid yet so on brand for the Socceroos
Odds on to concede a 3rd and finish the game in the next minute or two over being able to claw one back now

Never in doubt
Without that late goal, we'd be bottom of the group.
Conceding 2 goals in 2 minutes probably has more to do with it
Glad I don't have Paramount and wasn't able to watch that.
Socceroos are the most frustrating / disappointing team to watch these days (and I'm a crows fan)

There's no team I legitimately care about more than the Socceroos and I cbf with it atm...
The more you know about the system that's led us to this dire period, the less you care. The entire set-up and pathways from top to bottom is ****ed and no one in the FFA, APL, media, or anyone anywhere in soccer, talks about it or tries to fix it...
We're falling behind the rest of the world and it's only the fact we are a sports crazed nation that saves soccer. No actual planning, skills, forward thinking, or development to point to. Sheer weight of junior numbers, some are bound to be ok but that's not good enough
2 points against Bahrain. Over 50% of people watching this game couldn't even find that on a map! They have a similar population to Adelaide ffs. We are such an irrelevant level now it's just sad. 6 goals in 6 games against powerhouses like Indonesia, Bahrain, and China

The attitude is "Just get to the World Cup, and fill the coffers...that's all that counts!".
I'm serious when I say the best jolt to the system would be for us to miss out on 2026...things might actually get done to improve the level of Australian football.

Until the junior fees are brought down to manageable levels nothing is changing IMO. This side of things is getting worse
SA state league is expanding and huge amateur league clubs (with 2-3 teams per age group) are applying to join. If they're in, junior fees will go from $250 to $800+ and we're not talking clubs in affluent suburbs here. What do they get for their money? It's still a Dad coaching, the extra cash just goes to the first team. This needs complete overhaul but how can we when A-League clubs lose money?! So many talented kids fall through the cracks in this bullshit system
There's no trickle down, we fund the game from the bottom up. Only country in the world doing this to my knowledge and it's wrong. If we failed to qualify they sack a couple board members, some fringe exec positions will change (still hire their mates to replace), maybe Poppa walks. What really gets fixed though?
We're going nowhere, this is it now (bolded). You've nailed it, we have zero further ambition than this. Self interest at higher levels has ****ed us
Indonesia won at home against the Saudis. This group is a logjam of cow turds right now. Japan are on Gaia levels compared to the rest, and we somehow got a point away against them.
