Yeah, I'm really not at all biased on this issue, the stats say France dominated. Yes it would have been epic to get away with a point but as it is we got no points and showed some real cause for concern that the major problem with the Ange era Socceroos is still present- no one remotely capable of turning possession into genuine chances.
Absolutely we could beat Denmark and Peru, but as I said earlier I think our best chance is heavy duty defence against what should be less fluent attacks than France and pray for a lucky break in the other direction- basically the kind of freak chance that got us a goal against France despite us creating really no genuine scoring chances.
Teams sometimes win that way but it's hardly a probable outcome, particularly when we need to get lucky twice in a row to advance- it's just the only option with such a shitty attack.
The only other possibility is that Marwijk deliberately went hyper defensive just to get the France game out of the way and will name a far more attacking lineup from this point forward. I'd be a bit more hopeful of that if the likes of Rogic and Juric didn't have 2-3 solid years of burning chances in front of goal in the green and gold.

The english had it right back in the day all along. * these highly skilled, overpaid twats, I wanna see Griezmann, Pogba and co copping it from players who'd be lucky to earn in a year what the stars get in a week.
