Re: World Cup 2022 Forum
The Iranian players are being asked to make gestures and comments that could well cost them or their families their lives while the England players bottle the daft armband gesture but still think they are being all noble by kneeling. It’s quite disturbing really

Re: World Cup 2022 Forum
Re Aus v France: given the disparity in class, I expected our boys to chase, press and harass a lot more but it's as though they ran out of puff and ideas pretty much soon after the equaliser. From here: out in straight sets and Australia will seek a new coach shortly after.
Re KSA v Argies: pretty to watch despite Argies clueless on how to negate the offside trap - Saudis look good enough to progress from this group.
Re Poland v Mexico: Poor performance by Poland, but ffs when you get the benefit of a penalty and miss in such circumstances, it will come back to bite you. Opportunity missed, even though Mexico were better overall.

in your opinion, 'ideally', how should Australia have played this game, and if different to how they actually did, how should they have 'practically' done so?

Denmark Tunisia? What a game.
Tunisia look like they can progrees in the group with Les Bleus
Australia, woeful once again.
the quicker they sack Arnold, the better fro Aus football.

Re: World Cup 2022 Forum
Arnold spoke the other week about how the French squad have been playing 2-3 games a week and would be feeling smashed whereas the Australian players having played once a week recently will be fresh and able to go for it. Saw the complete opposite.
And I'm shocked that he would make such a simplistic observation given what he would've experienced playing professionally overseas as a player. Cannot compare.
