A case of Soccerboos

SIMPLY, the uncertainty surrounding the Socceroos and coach Ange Postecoglou.

Firstly, let’s remember that we beat Syria and moved one step closer to a fourth straight World Cup appearance.

Yes, we’re not as good as we once were but we are still alive. Full-stop.

Secondly, the scrutiny on Postecoglou’s future, some of which is selfcontrived given his refusal to budge from a tactical style, has taken the gloss off the abovementioned victory.

What’s more, Postecoglou has so far refused to address those rumours, all of which add to a mess of a situation when, as a nation, we could and should be embracing our successes.
