You got to wonder if Arnie wanted to leave this game with dignity? LoLRedmayne acting like a douche is the hill Arnie wants to die on hey?
Depends..... England in our group would of been epic.It's s**t that France, Denmark and Australia are in the same group like 2018....also the 4th team from that group was Peru lol. Would prefer playing new countries
New teams would be nice is what I'm sayingDepends..... England in our group would of been epic.
2006 Australia had Japan, Croatia and Brazil In that group.
Brazil had Ronaldo, Kaka and Ronaldinho in that 2006 squad.
Yes like .... American Samoa, Vanuatu & KiribatiNew teams would be nice is what I'm saying
May have a chance at qualifying if that was their group lolYes like .... American Samoa, Vanuatu & Kiribati
The other qualifier spot was Germany Spain and JapanNew teams would be nice is what I'm saying
Congrats about tickets. Qatar as a host nation should be, interesting.Arnold coached brilliantly, had the team set up well and really motivated. The few times Peru threatened we slowed the game down, then kept possession for a few minutes to break the momentum. They couldn’t get into a rhythm so they mostly sat back, played into our hands. South American sides mostly like playing narrow and short, sharp 1-2’s in front of the penalty box so whenever Peru threatened this way we packed the centre of defence. They got nowhere.
We at least went out to win, Peru just expected us to roll over. They were simply weak and pathetic in the end. We were smart, playing to our physical and mental strengths, basically within our capabilities. This is what won it for us in the end. Being in Doha for 2 weeks was just massive for us, the region has become our home away from home.
The Redmayne antics will go down in folklore. The masters of the ‘dark arts‘ are the South Americans, he outwitted them. We’re normally the ones on the receiving end. How humiliating must it be for them being knocked out by a Wiggle especially after their president called a national holiday for the game.
Now for the WC, Arnold should just let them go out play with the good old Aussie spirit like they did today rather than get bogged down with tactics and over analysis. Got some tickets for a few games at the WC in the FIFA ballot including the Denmark group game and also for the R16 1Cv2D knockout game, (Could end up seeing Argentina v Australia lol).
You are probably right.Pretty amazing to think that THIS group of Socceroos lucked through to the WC in a sudden death playoff. Not the far far more talented 1997 or 2001 groups. Not a lot of justice in that.
But perhaps the hardening of regular games and Asian competition (vs friendlies and beating up on American Samoa) is to thank here.
So you want teams like Indonesia, Palestine and South Sudan to rock up?New teams would be nice is what I'm saying
Did you say as much before the game?
You should have seen this place over the past week or so.
People carrying on like Peru are Brazil, some shambolic takes, it was comical then and even more comical now.
Where do these people get their football information? For the bin.
Surprised how much confidence people had in Peru. They are better but we're hardly unbeatable.
And drive the Socceroos side home in a big red car with captain feather sword and Dorothy the dinosaur lolLive by the hot potato, die by the hot potato
You are probably right.
That 1997 Aussie squad wasn't bad. Harry Kewell was a kid and playing for Leeds. Guys like Robbie Slater did play in England. Ironic as Graham Arnold played in that infamous 1997 2 legged play off vs Iran.
Speaking of Iran, some of their starting 11 were playing in the German league.
2001 squad was good too. Uruguay had some good players playing their trade in Spanish la liga and Italy Serie A. Got that 1-0 lead from a goal by Kevin Muscat of all people. Gutted we lost 3-0. Nearly got a goal when we were 1-0 or 2-0 down. Could of made it by away goals
That 2005 Aussie side had Kewell, Lucas Neill and Tim Cahill in their peak years. But the difference was the 2nd leg was in Australia and the home crowd rallying the Socceroos home edged us over the line.
Our 2010 squad was practically similar to 2006 minus our strikers of Mark Viduka and John Aloisi. But playing in Asia improved the Socceroos. Facing teams like Korea, Japan and some middle eastern teams made the Socceroos a better side. People bag out pim verbeeks coaching tenure. But yeah he was defensive but we finished top of the group and automatically qualified rather than get 3rd and a playoff.

97 was a heartbreaker, that squad was very bloody good and if I remember correctly, Iran ended up in a pretty easy group as well.
