Has the first touch of a deadfish. I'd say the reason Burns & Djite aren't in the squad due to only recently changing clubs, much the same reason as Kewell not being here (was originally going to come).
Still doesn't explain how he got in ahead of David Williams or Dario Vidic. Worst selection ever. Some good defence overall to keep it to 1-0, but that has to be one worst strike force at any level for Australia.

Yeah, was just using Zullo as an example because he still wasn't anything like our best option.
I can understand the defensive mentality of Arnie in this match considering the gap between the teams but when we're 1-0 down, not bothering to press and allowing the Argies to string together an easy 40-50 passes in a row at the back. Then bringing on a hack defender like McClenehan when we needed another attacker on. Wow, just wow.
So it's pray the Ivory Coast and Serbia draw and hope that we can beat the Africans next round? Shame, I was looking forward to this tournament for a while.
What happens when you only have three forwards in the whole squad, there is generally no attacking players to bring on.
Then you've got the composition of the squad wrong.
I keep missing these games, wanted to see how Ryan Nelsen was getting on but the less said about the Netherlands having the likes of Gerald Sibon in their squad the better.
The only game I caught in its entirety was unfortunately the Australian vs. Argentina game. Aussies seem to playing anti-football.
Australia still think the English 1980s 1st division long ball game is de rigeur.
Archie Thompson is a waste of an over 23s spot. Having said that, dunno who else was available to take a spot.

All good work in first two games tossed away. Now to play Brazil in the quarter-finals. Shambolic.

Did you see that Argentinian side? That side would beat our seniors comfortably, I don't blame us for playing long-ball.

Code:47.3 W Coppinger to Heads Smacked the ball straight into the groin of Iwuajoku who has fallen over, miraculously with the ball still caught in his scrotal area! Out!
New Zeland have to play Belgium (men's football), who will win Hak?

Haven't watched any of the men's football, but looking at the squads NZ will do well to get one point. Betting suggests NZ have something like a 7 % chance.
Ouch!
Australia playing are far more positive grand of football this time around, and have had quite a few good chances, as have Cote de Ivore (sp?). Niki Rukaetc. gets into some good possies, but has deadset the worst first touch for an attacking playing.
EDIT: Haha, sheeeeeesh. SBS showing highlights of Italy vs Cameroon, the red card given to the Cameroon playing was an absolute joke.
