Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 3459987, member: 8536"] Last World Cup, we could only score a goal if it was from a penalty. I would consider this World Cup a step up. We were going up against a pretty desperate Tunisia side, even some of the best in the world have struggled against sides that are playing desperate in this World Cup. We left a couple of goals out there, the biggest one being the one in the second half. If MacClaren just put a fraction less power on that cross, we're up 2-0. There was an opportunity in the first half where we would have a player in behind the defence but the Australian player receiving the ball just couldn't control it well enough. There was nothing in Denmark's performance against Tunisia that said we can't match them, or even beat them. We could do a lot better with our execution, we're really lacking speed on the counter attacks and we're lacking quality play makers. And that's an area the FFA need to recognize and address. We can't rely on the A-League for players, because it's an amateur comp that's only going to develop amateur players. They aren't learning and developing their game in the best systems, so we either need to start sending players over to Europe or we need to go on a poaching road in Europe for quality coaches that can teach our players and implement systems for them to improve their skills and become better players.
