Why wouldn't he stay on? He said his contract ends when Australia's World Cup campaign ends....pretty clear

Very good win. A really good campaign from the Socceroos. Only lost 1 game in 14.

Seriously, they are currently $310 on Betfair, to win in 2018. Iceland is better fancied.

What can you lay them at (if anything)? They are no chance. And I don't mean that in a figurative way you might say it about some 50-1 pop at Sandown on Saturday. They are literally zero chance. |

$600 the lowest lay bid at the moment.

Great value. If only the tournament was a few weeks away I would probably take it. Currently though you'll make more money in bank interest by the time it's settled. |

There was bodies all over the field for 90 minutes.
I thought someone had a machine gun . Writhing in agony from the pain from some 186 injuries that had been caused by tackles for a round , rubber ball. Comedy capers . One did get stretchered off but was later seen playing hop scotch. BORING isn't the right word .. Insulting spectators intelligence is more like it. |

True Macca It was cringeworthy viewing. Not sure why fans tolerate all the crap. Seemed to be plenty of Tomic and Kyrgios type behaviour out there that gets lauded |

Didn't watch the game but I notice that the defensive midfielder scored all the goals, from a deflected free kick and two penalties. Popgun attack still in full effect.

They have as much chance as Iceland.....zero. There is only a handful of countries that have a realistic chance of winning it. To make 4 world cups in a row is a very good achievement. |

Saintly :- TRUE , full credit . It isn't the game itself , or the standard our team is at . . All about the antics and the acting of false injuries that girl guides would be more exposed too than a soccer player.
They would all have heart failure if they had Mal Maninga charging at them with body contact intentions. Little girls trying to play what could be a very entertaining game , but spoiling all interest with their pitifully weak behaviour. |

I love watching the EPL and am a Liverpool fan, the one thing I admired about Steven Gerrard was apart from his uncanny read of the game was if someone went down in a tackle from him he would glare down as if to say..get up you bludger, stevie gee , a mans man imo.

I really enjoy the A-League and the Socceroos and only watch the roundball game now . I don't watch or follow either Rugby League or AFL and feel even less qualified or bothered to comment on them .
What I don't understand is if you all hate it so much ,why do you even bother watching it or even then commenting on it after you've watched it ? I genuinely don't get it .

Because we want to be part of the wider world. Sometimes I wonder if the diving takes away a opportunity to put more pressure on. The momentum goes out of a situation and the defense gets reestablished |

The diving is as farcical as The Three Stooges, simples ! But I guess if you're brought up on it, you don't even notice.

If you enjoy the sport but hate the diving I could understand , but most of the people who comment don't even like the A-League etc.. .
If you look at the last Socceroos game against Honduras the inconsistency of the ref and some of the dirty tactics both sides got away with . When some one fouls you ,you need to let the ref know . I blame the refs for inconsistent application of the laws .

There were a couple of occasions when I felt playing on would have been more beneficial. The fouls that bring about a dive are really so innocuous they are embarrassing.

I'm not going to try and defend it Djebel . I agree with the rolling around screaming antics are annoying but if someone puts their studs down your archilles or stomps on your foot . It Hurts .
Players in all sports have been trying to con refs forever . The South Americans in the A-league are the worst and they quickly get a reputation so now the refs ignore them a lot of the time .
