Re: Official Soccer (Football) Discussion Thread
Did an all-nighter with a whole bunch of mates to see the Germany/Australia game since it was on at 4:30 am here, and honestly, I don't think I've ever seen a woirse performance by Australia in my life. First of all, the defence is shit. Absolute shit. I don't mind us trying to play the offside trap, but if you're going to fucking play it, then Lucas Neil has to stay in line with the other defenders so that anyone who makes a break isn't onside. Seriously, this guy is captain, but his performance was just plain embarrassing. The marking from Moore as well was disgraceful. Tahnk god he's about a billion years old and wuill be gone soon. He's just not good enough.
We're fucked for our next game too. No Cahill = no Australia.
Oh, and why wasn't Bresciano playing? Is he under an injury cloud, or is Verbeek Blue? Starting Valeri over Marco is just plain Blue if there's nothing wrong with Marco.
