:-[ :-[ :-[

We is gonna get smaaaaaaaaaaaashed. 

 

[dibo]

there's still cote d'ivoire and serbia - i think we'd be competitive against either of those two, but first place in the group is definitely a stretch.

gago, mascherano, riquelme, messi... sheesh!

 

[skilbeck]

yeah that is a team that could contest a World Cup let alone an Olympics

 

[tuftman]

Man thats overkill picking Riquelme, our whole defence will be destroyed by the guy, he plays the game slowly, something Australian defence's struggle to cope with. Serbia can still technically pick Bojan Krkic as he is elegible through his father, who shares the same name, and is Serbian, as he hasnt played a senior international. And we know that Serbian sides are defensively rock solid. Which leaves us with the Elephants. If they take any 3 of Drogba Dindane, Kalou, Kader Keita, 2 Toure's, Eboue then we will be in trouble...... getting out of the group will be a minor miracle, especially considering Graham Arnolds recent attempts at coaching in a major tournament

Arnold out!!!!

 

[tuftman]

According to Wikipedia, Graham Arnold has been linked to Bolton and Norwich. Did these people not see the Asian Cup!!!!!!! Or do they just think, he was assistant to Hiddink, we are underachieving clubs lets put 2 and 2 together and see what happens......

 

[serious14]

Does not Bolton equal long ball defensive shite??  That would suit Arnold perfectly.....

Dear Christ, that Argentina squad could tear the Socceroos apart 5-0, let alone the Olyroos.  This is going to be Messi. 

 

[Wilson]

vamos Vamos Argentina

Yeah and it also equals mid table mediocrity, something Arnold would also be suited to. Hopefully he goes there and gets hammered, and yes Serious it is going to be Messi

 

[RADINHO]

LoL the only players i dont no a lot about are Sergio Romero, Luciano Monzon, Lautaro Acosta and Diego Buonanotte. Yes we are gonna get smashed.

 

[Sym]

Pessimists..We can ground a gritty draw, or early goal and 85mins of Djitte corner play

Serious though We could get a point or the lot

Boogs>>>Messi

EDIT. Scrap Djitte corner play as it seems he got cut

 

[FFC Mariner]

11 men behind the ball AND Danny and a real coach and they would still beat us.

With that side and knob head in charge, its gonna be nasty

Oh my, I didn't look two posts above me because I was seething with anger about how hard we're going to be done over at this tournament because of the incompetency of Graham Arnold.  I apologise oh Lord Of All Creation Keensy, may I never offend you again.
