Australia are one point away from claiming their entry rights for the 2010 World Cup, but quite frankly they are no were near World Cup material.
I was at the Australia Vs Uzbekistan game and, to my surprise, I found our European players quite terrible on the field. Don’t get me wrong: Kewell, Bresciano and, of course, Kennedy – aka Jesus – were great.
But for the best team in Asia, we definitely aren’t performing like it.
The first 25 or 30 minutes was poor football on Australia’s behalf, especially some Lucas Neill blunders which nearly cost us a couple of goals.
In the first 25-30 minutes, Uzbekistan had 64 percent of possession, compared to Australia’s 36 percent.
McDonald had an absolute shocker and Kewell wasn’t to be seen. We were lucky to have come away 0-0 in the first 45.
Kennedy came onto the field to change the tempo of the game, scoring one of Australia’s goals after just ten minutes of being subbed on.
I do like the Socceroos and want to see them do well. But we’ve really got to boost our team up as we are far from world class.
It’s great were playing, but honestly, playing Asian countries none of us have never heard of is doing nothing more than just elevating up our players ego.
