Socceroos vs Canada/USA Oct 25

only caught the last 15 of the second half after watching all first half, why were the Canadians so aggressive in that final 15? Lots of pushing/shoving the ref allowed, for whatever reason.

That's just canadians
 
Duke did fuck all when he was out there. I don’t agree that he presses well, he gallops around slowly like a giraffe and doesn’t get close enough to pressure a defender most times. And he can’t receive and hold the ball either.
Regardless, from Popa's comments, Duke is going to be at the World Cup. He's good in the air and does have good energy but I agree that his press is inconsistent. But he shouldn't start a game anymore if we don't need him to.
 
Rewatch should be very interesting. Sorry for those who had paramount stuff up. Not good enough.
 
Did Paramount stuff up? My feed from them was fine
I got an error on one tv but the other tv and the PC worked fine. No idea what went wrong. Maybe one of the TVs has an outdated app version.
 
No saves by their keeper is lamentable. Certainly need to work on chance creation and hitting the target. Compared to how much ball Canada got near our goal but our defence held firm.
This is what the stats don't tell you. Circati should have scored on at least had a shot on target, Boyle and Irankunda both should have had unopposed shots on goal but the crosses were poor, one by Bos and I think one by Irankunda. Could easily have been 4-0.

If Bos does not start we cannot afford Izzo to be keeper. With no outlet he doesn't provide an alternate. Once again he showed that he was a good shotstopper but realistically the only ones that he was not favoured to save are the 1 v 1 when they got past Miller and the one that ricocheted around the box and he had no ideas about - but somehow it hit his hand.

Agree that he shouldn't but it is up to someone to push him off the plane. No-one has done that. He also created a chance from his hassling that could/should have been taken. Can't remember who didn't take it.
