A diet Socceroo team has been selected to play against an Indonesian team that’s been in training for the last month and in front of what will be a hostile crowd of anything up to 90,000 fans. Yikes! I don’t fancy our chances:
These are the best Australian players in the A-League at the moment and it’s up to them to show that they can also perform in a big international environment because it will be quite hectic and hostile and that’s what I’m looking at.”
“I’m picking players not because of what they’ve done but how they’re playing at the moment.”
It’ll be interesting to see the cohesion, or lack there of in Australia’s play today, as the team has only had one full session to work together. The other thing that scares me is that Graham Arnold will be in charge while Pim is banned from the bench.
Famous last words… I hope we don’t get mauled!
I predict:
Indonesia 1 v 1 Australia
