If their right winger keeps running at the left back they’ll score though I should be offended but we’re so goddamned awful… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Man Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Brutal. Imagine going through all the hard graft to get 5th in SAM qualies and then bottle it and lose on pens to Australia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaked in 2019, were excellent despite not making it out of the group stages in 2018. But complete free fall since then, just lucky Colombia crumbled under their previous manager and Chile insisting on playing the 40+ year olds.

Yeah they're not great but not sure they've ever been that strong under Gareca, all their better players now getting over the hill and for all Lapadula has been something of a revelation he's no Paolo Guerrero, but they have been greater than sum of their parts for a while and definitely a better side than they showed tonight. Massive credit to Gareca's managerial ability either way for what he's achieved there, be a fairly big rebuild on the cards now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 That Aussie keeper is probably lovely in real life but man was he an irritating looking knob. Disappointed that Peru couldn't qualify tonight, Australia are always completely forgettable at World Cups (apart from when they had Hiddink).

Guest Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 One, potentially two Hearts players at the World Cup if Devlin gets a call-up which could happen. Fair play Australia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Make that three, didn’t realise Rowles signed for Hearts too. Australia must be worse than I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseman Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Didn't think we would make the world cup, one of the worst squads in decades with a manager who shouldn't manage anyone other then Sydney fc. Add in that from the 20 games we played in qualification, only 4 of them were at home, it's been a slog. Arnold's decision to bring on redmayne was either going to be a stroke of genius or sign of a stroke, thankfully it paid off. Supposedly when Redmayne saw tactics written on the peru keepers water bottle he threw out in to the stand to put them off as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one of the single best matches in USMNT history in Denver but I guess that’s neither here nor there. Only two venues in Canada, and only three in Mexico, is kind of fucked too. It should’ve never been three countries either. Kansas is a wild choice. So, so far away from everything. In the end they chose a lot of these venues in absolutely abject, failing, soccer markets. I think they’ll hope these might create a bounce. The only right choice is/will be the final being in NYC. Edited June 17, 2022 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I don’t know anything about the quality of the facilities in Kansas City (or Denver for that matter), but it does seem an odd choice. I wonder if completely ignoring the Midwest just wasn’t politically viable (“flyover country” and all that). Still, I think that KC metro area is pretty small. I would think the smallest of the host cities. I can’t get over the absence of Chicago. A lot of the 94 host cities were passed over: Chicago, Detroit, Orlando, DC. This will be third World Cup for CDMX and Guadalajara. I just hope the final isn’t at Azteca. (It’s a bear).
