In 2010 we had the oldest squad of any country at the World Cup and I can't criticise Pim for picking them. What do you do when you've got a golden generation coming to the end? Youth did this. Whatever happens from now on, bring on 2030.
I love this team. This is the team of Australia as it actually is. Look at them. All sorts of migrant backgrounds coming together and achieve something. I am you are we are Australian. And right-wingers say we lack patriotism. **** off.
If 3AW and the Herald-Sun try to celebrate this I'll spew up. You hate our great multicultural society and we're not dumb enough to forget it. You can't criticise African immigration and then celebrate the great contribution they make to our multicultural society.
All right at least we didn't let it get away when it looked like it might. Still mad at our leaders who missed easy shots and did dumb things. Luckily we picked up an old guy from West Coast.
Effort was better and it was quite good in general play. What went wrong is our best players missed easy shots and our brains went at the end of the quarter. If we're serious this is an easy fix.
This makes me think USA and Turkiye will be tough. Paraguay are the team we have to beat. If we have 1 point going into the Paraguay game I'll be reasonably happy. 0 points but still a reasonable goal difference might be enough because some 3rd placed teams go through.
South Africa have posed absolutely no threat. I don't think Mexico have set the world on fire, but they've scored and hot the post. Thr thing is though, you never know when it's only 1-0.
