Absolutely agree it was the best decision. It sucks bowing out when we should’ve gone on to potentially make the finals (2007,2011).No complaints with the loss, we were not good enough. Hopefully for the younger players that hurts enough to want a better result.
Still think joining Asia was the best thing the FFA has ever done.
Milligan can play a few games as a send off if he wants but shouldn't be there after that.
The rest were a farce but he was absolutely knocked outGet stretched off. Knocked out. Then comes back on. Middle East really are the scum of football.

Everyone will blame Arnold but is it really better than a quarter final type squad ?

Yes easily. His tactics are awful. Arnold is done as Socceroos manager. FFA must pursue a quality foreign manager with a view to Qatar 2022.

Be very careful what you wish for. A 'quality' foreign manager will take 1 look at this joke of a squad and play like Van Maawijk did at the WC. Defend deep with no support for the attackers and try and steal wins like the UAE did.
Arnold's trying to build an attacking side, it took Pep and Klopp more than a year to get their sides going and they see them every day.
No. Especially in Middle East. Need your best, UAE, Iran and Qatar have very united squads. The talent we have is not on par with previous campaigns. Quality up front is not there. Maclaren has failed to fire, and compare that to what we had before.Everyone will blame Arnold but is it really better than a quarter final type squad ?
We had one outfield player playing in the top 5 leagues in the world. And he was injured.Not saying I think Arnold is great, but I think our squad extremely lacks talent also.
Yeah but they can sign players, that's why I don't think club management and international management are comparable.
Not til the next international break? July? Not that it matters.When do we play next? FFA need to sack Arnold ASAP. Just a joke on Australia day of all days.
A return for Arnold to Central Coast Mariners is probably the best thing for him at this stage.

The lack of quality is apparent. Players then signing for Saudi Pro League doesn’t help that.
FFA have a lot to do, and the solution isn’t simple.
We struggled against them even with a better talent squad especially away in Middle East.I don't think we expect Arnold to have us playing brilliant football with an ordinary squad but we should be doing better against Jordan and UAE.
