I actually thought both teams did well to play some good stuff at times on that pitch.
We were very lucky again to get a draw the same as the Thailand away game.
I suppose we didn't lose these games and we now have 3 home games that we have to get good results in.
I notice becaúse it wasn't Adelaide Oval, Grosso wasn't on here complaining.
(Is he banned again or just having a sook?)

You watched the Germany vs England game...
At least last night the away supporters respected the home team national anthem last night, not like in Dusseldorf.

Were Australia's fans well behaved at the game?

Unfortunately we were out coached last night, why would you change the formation and gamble on a 3-4-3 in a crucial away game. I believe it was so we could compete better at the World Cup itself, here's a news flash, we are 50-50 to even make it to Russia. The Saudi game is looming as a massive game, especially if we win on Tuesday but seriously 3-4-3 on a pitch like that, we kept trying to build the play and falling over

Can’t remember the last good game I’ve seen him play for Socceroos.
An inform Troisi much better option IMO.
At wingback??? Are you high?

There was little "back" in his position to be fair.

Spot on Bomber, Kruse rarely went into the defensive areas.
