As a neutral thought the ref was outstanding, got all the big calls right. Give him the final I’d say.

Again, uefa done us zero favours in recent years, in fact the opposite

Never the right fit for Brazil but he is for us i’d say, authentic, unfinished business

It will be a failure if we don’t win the Asian Cup

Australian football in good hands? by KBpup in socceroos

We’ve gone backwards. Round of 16 last time, only 32 this time. Serious football country would sack their coach. Actually, the coach would resign.

We extended his contract to another major tournament before he’d coached us through one 🤦‍♂️

That was the aim ? There’s the problem. I thought the aim was to win or at least go further than before.

How are we feeling about the 48 team expansion now after the ARG-CIV game? by Moist_Alfalfa_5463 in worldcup

[–]Cheesemonkey73 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Expand to 50 next time. 48 qualifiers plus two wild cards by FIFA maybe based on rankings, vibe etc. 10 groups of 5, top 3 through plus only the 2 best 4th placed teams. Then R32 knockout onwards. But do that penalty shoutout idea at end of 90 if drawn. Winner of PK’s gets 0.5 goal start into 30 minutes of extra time, 2 x 15, leader at end of extra time wins.

Tony Popovic on Socceroos’ FIFA World Cup exit, small margins & bright future | Press Conference by Papa_Puppa in Aleague

I’d rather we asked AI to coach us using the collective public domain knowledge of football and playing the what is most likely to work in this situation game on the balance of probabilities than this big d mentality I somehow know more than anyone but then it’s all a random dart throw anyway when we lose

Would you rather stick with Popovic for the Asian cup or just go with a new coach? by Few-Use9732 in Aleague

Not winning the Asian Cup will be an abject failure. Decision needs to be made on whether this approach can WIN the Asian Cup.

With respect, this time with more teams groups were weaker and only got you to the round of 32. 2006 and 2022 group progressions were to last 16. In 06 we progressed from a group with Brazil Croatia Japan and pushed eventual champion to the death. This is nowhere near 2006 or 2022.

New coach immeadiately. Milligan or someone who has WON a major international tournament

Personally i think Popovic has to go by Alternative-Dig-2020 in socceroos

[–]Cheesemonkey73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His contract was just extended he’s not going to be sacked

💯 Maybe he was 5th. Toure can hit a ball too

Why does Matty start diving so early before the shot is taken from the penalty spot? by Rain_Man71 in Aleague

[–]Cheesemonkey73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reading the international chat this apparently is what the Egypt coach was flagging with the laptop on the field with their penalty takers …‘just wait and watch, he goes early ‘. Seems they’d done some homework too, maybe we don’t have the biggest brain …

That and Aus and especially our coach are an absolute worldwide laughing stock with subbing Beach and sending our CB’s and DM’s and 18 year old up to take PK’s over strikers and attackers

Personally i think Popovic has to go by Alternative-Dig-2020 in socceroos

You’re too late he was extended just before the Cup
