Ends up 4-3 defeat. Have to wonder what we could have achieved had Langerak hadn't been sent off early doors in the second half. Still a far more vibrant performance than any of the tat we've dished up in recent internationals. We'll still get s**t caned in the World Cup but at least we're now trying to play decent football. |

3-0 up and you lose 4-3 to a last minute goal. Incredible stuff. |

That'll happen when Mitch Langerak decides to audition for UFC and the only replacement is Brad Jones. |

There were about 4 blokes named Valencia on the pitch last night. |

Next match is in May against South Africa at Stadium Australia 3 days before the team departs for Brazil. Forgotten by me in the aftermath of the 3-4 loss is the fact that Tim Cahill has broken the long standing goal scoring record held by Damien Mori for over a decade. Difference between Cahill and Mori's records are pretty much Mori's came against the Oceania minnows, Cahill has scored against some of the best teams in the world. Unquestionably the greatest ever Socceroo. To think we almost lost him to Samoa because of a single appearance for Samoa's under 20s when he was 14, thank fork FIFA changed that ruling, I don't dare think of what the history of our national team would be without Cahill and his knack of scoring crucial goals. |

Holman has retired I read today. One of Australia's only decent players, the Socceroos are forked. my stronger support for the French still stands! |

Holman, like most of the 2006 team is getting on in years and I think Ange is moving in the direction of the younger lads. That said if he even considers picking Lucas Neill I may go postal. |

Does Luca$h Neil ever get a look in? He was training with us for a while. My fave Australian to play for Rovers was Emerton, underrated player |

One of the greats of Australian football was Emmo. |

Now that the league season is over we can concentrate on preparations for the World Cup. It's anyone's guess who will be in Postecoglou's 23, some you'd think are certainties but I'd say there are up to 10 spots in that squad which will surprise a few here. |

Ange Postecoglou has finally done it, he's told Lucas Neill to fork off

Neill should be proud of what he achieved with Australia |

His performances and behaviour over the last 5 years have tarnished a legacy that should have made him one of the all time great Socceroos. |
