mack Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Well, Arnie made it a game further in the WC than we thought he would and picked up a new contract. Next up? The Asian Cup 2023, off to Qatar again at some point (probably in December?) And after the Asian Cup, back to WC Qualification. sonar 1

MathyouWSW Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Should of replace the bald guy with Arnie screaming. That would of been perfect. Sithslayer1991, Paul01 and pseudonym 3
Sithslayer1991 Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 I really can't argue with it as it pains me to say. the play off victories against UAE and Peru to the world cup run and the transition to the new generation most were used in the Tokyo Olympic squad that beat Argentina, means he has an eye for his squad on the next 4 years. Plus Kisnorbo and Muscat would be focusing on club careers and Popa regressed, would be too risky to bring in a foreign coach that isn't use to the heavy travel. So we put up with Arnold for another 4 years. Still no confirmation on when the Asian cup begins as Qatar participates in the Gold cup coming up held in June-July 2023. All assuming it will be 2024. sonar, EmMac and Unlimited 3
GunnerWanderer Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Arnie has done **** nothing since he signed a new contract! **** him 😛 EmMac, Sithslayer1991 and Legionista 3
Carns Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Souttar supposedly signed with Leicester City for £15M which would make him the most expensive Australian transfer ever. Noice.
marron Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Pretty cool. Having said that I think i remember reading a few years back that Dukes fee when he went from Celtic (or Boro? Can't remember) was about 50 mill in today's money. Carns 1

Davo Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 I like the opening shot where he stands and you can only see up to his knees. I'm assuming that's how tall he is compared to the cameraman. Sithslayer1991 1
JustWandering Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 I will go against the grain and say that I am ecstatic that Arnold has agreed to continue as the Socceroos coach. We need to be focussed on the long term picture, you never get this with foreign coaches. Of the local candidates, Arnold's is head and shoulders above the rest in my mind at nurturing young talent. His success at Olyroos level is second to none, and his astonishingly good management at the world cup with a fraction of the talent that Guus had at his disposal says a lot. I am excited to see where he takes us from here. Of the other local options, Ange needs higher quality players than what we have to meet his gameplan. I am not convinced that Popovic's defensive approach would bring us success against world class attack. Muscat has done well taking charge of already successful teams, I'd like to see him build a successful team from scratch (as the three above mentioned have) before giving him a go at national level.

Carns Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Arnie earned a new contract with his performance at the World Cup and deserves another shot. But I also remember the dire football that he played in the qualifiers and people were rightly calling for him to be sacked. He deserves to be under the microscope over his tactics in this coming Asian Cup and qualifying campaign. Top 4 should be the minimum expectation for Asian Cup in my eyes, but it won't be easy.

Carns Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 More the youth team than the men's but four WSW players have been selected for the U20s Asian Cup in Uzbekistan March 1-18. Badolato, Lopane, Simmons and Warshawsky.
Sithslayer1991 Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Lost 1-0 to Vietnam. Watched the game and while Vietnam was good our team looked like 11 individuals thrown on the park. No cohesion whatsoever making it difficult for them to break down a well organised defence. With hopeful balls put in the 18 yard box that the Vietnamese keeper will be thankful for with the catching practice he was provided. Also Ecuador confirmed for the March friendlies for the Socceroos
Davo Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 Nieuwenhof called up for the U23's. Will be in camp from 20-28 March. We play the derby on the 18th and then Adelaide on the 31st.
Sithslayer1991 Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 That's a decent squad.... but damn we lose him for the derby. We got cover but sucks sometimes how this works alexd 1

Edinburgh Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 U20 Asian cup v Qatar. We lead 6-1 and have just had a penalty by Popovic saved. Now 7-1, scored by .... Popovic!
Edinburgh Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 Finished 9-1, last goal scored by Alex Bodalato. We finish 2nd in the group using the head to head elimination method. Sithslayer1991 and sonar 2

Or a 3.50pm flight on the 19th March. When have the Socceroos all arrived on time to a camp anyway?
Davo Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 The Group A games kick off in a little over an hour. If there aren't any upsets we're probably playing the hosts Uzbekistan in the quarter final.
