They've Done It Again
Perennial under performers. Oozing in potential yet producing little. That is how I would describe our national soccer team, The Socceroos.
It's hard to believe that they were favourites for the Asian Cup, as they face relegation after the group stage if they don't give Thailand a belting tomorrow.
People are already starting to point the finger. The Media is closely scrutinizing the Coach, Graham Arnold. While Arnold is doubting the players' commitment to playing in this tournament for their country.
The situation isn't helped by opposition teams having the dive and tumble down to a fine art. All you need to do is scrape their jersey and they are down and it isn't surprising anymore to see a stretcher to come out for these sissies. However, it is successful in frustrating the Aussies and it takes their mind off the game.
I only flicked on a get a score update for the Iraq game. Once when I switched on I saw 1 - 0 Iraq leading, and I thought he we go again. Later it was 1 - 1 and my mindset was a bit more positive, perhaps they have finally clicked. One more scorecheck found my positivity to be ill placed as it blew out to 3 - 1 Iraq's way.
It will be a long time before I could be bothered to watch a game again.
