    Did Williams play fullback or centre half Speirz?

    I recorderd the game but someone told me the result so I haven't watched it yet.

    Australia were the better side but Costa Rica never looked into it. Missed a few good chances as well where as Costa Rica only had the 1 near goal that I remember.

    Australia definitely should be winning these games, which under Osieck they probably wouldn't. Costa Rica at home and factoring in thing such as jet lag and the fact we arrived earlier meant it was a game we really should win and duly delivered.

    Solid enough. Williams was more convincing in my eyes though. Neill did make a couple of physical challenges on players off the ball that he wouldn't have got away with under a different referee.

    Centre.

    Speirz, did he do enough to get a gig in Brazil ?
     
  5. Colesy BL Hornby

    Neil will be there 100% and rightly so.
     
  6. Julian BJ Taylor

    So our most important and only classy player nation wide has done his ACL and will miss the WC finals.
     
  7. PienaarColada DH Mulray

    Tim is fine, isn't he?
     
  8. Freddy MJ Johns

    Tommy Juric?
     
  9. Speirz DG Speirs

    Yeah, it's horrible news. Pretty much ensures we'll probably have to resort to crosses and set-pieces as our only goal threat.
     
  10. Lukic L Popovic

    You got about 3/4rds of the name right. Change the Jur to Rog and you're spot on.
     
  11. Julian BJ Taylor

    Fuck I can't believe these omissions. No Wilkshire is a laugh, even if he has regressed.
     
  12. MatthewJay TA Miokovic

    Yeah we're so fucked now. Kennedy and Rogic at 70% fitness are miles ahead of some of these other blokes.
     
  13. Lukic L Popovic

    Postecoglu really has no idea.
     
  14. Number 11 CJ Downes

    Our defense is literally so bad, people like McGowan and Davidson are deadest muppets.
     
  15. MASTERS S Masters

    reckon we can muster a draw vs Chile
     
  16. Harps ZAF MacDonald

    3-0, 5-0, 6-0

    imo
     
  17. Lukic L Popovic

    Draw against Spain is the best bet if they've already won both games and cbf in the last one.

    Even then though a Spain cbf effort would probably still end up 4 or 5 nil.
     
  18. MatthewJay TA Miokovic

    I think our best game will be against the Netherlands.

    No real reasoning behind this theory though.
     
  19. Julian BJ Taylor

    So, our xi is pretty much sorted from what I've read. We will see:

    Ryan
    Franjic, Wilkinson, Spiranovic, Davidson
    Milligan, Jedinak
    Oar (Bresciano)
    Halloran (Leckie), Leckie (Oar)
    Cahill


    Cahill is going to need to play almost every minute of our campaign IMO.
     
  20. Julian BJ Taylor

    Cahill as the lone striker is our only option IMO.
