well if you saw the game Eve, Aus was lucky against japan to even score especially when Japan dominated. A draw was a fair result.

it wasnt so much that, they were able to create so many more opportunities. Kruse playing down left wing was brilliant.  Its what we needed to do.  We almost had it against Japan. Cant believe we conceded a penalty in stoppage time!!!  That was heartbreaking.



 


 


this was in response to mr grizz saying "amazing  how you win when you actually take shots at goal"


 


 


 


 


 

not just tonight and last week, but in previous world cups.


they keep trying to get the ball to close to goal. the closer you get the more congested it becomes.


let rip from outside the box(not everytime) it will either score or create opportunity as the defence has to scramble.

whatever Osieck told them, it worked.  how cool was it to see the reception Archie Thomson got?  Did you know he holds goalscoring world record? 13 goals in one game.


 

let's not get that excited. It's just Jordan.

and we are just Australia

One soccer fan here meep and I go for both Australia and Denmark. 😄


 


Great result socceroos.


I am very impressed with the way they are playing now even the Japan game was a great game.


Iraq next tues and should Jordan lose their other game, Australia will go straight through without needing to meet a Sth American team.


 


Agree mr grizz, Australia has always needed to mix up their scoring shots more. Element of surprise. But gee they are really playing as a team and working the ball around keeping more possession.


 


2014 Brazil, here we come.
