, this is arguably the least talented side I have seen represent the country at this level.
No being a 24x7 follower of soccer I've read a lot of old heads in media today to get a specialist perspective, they are bitching and moaning about player development, but I think they are basically potting the youth in the squad to cover for the old boys who underperformed, the specialist commentators are basically looking after their mates / former team-mates. They complain about the kids in the squad, then in the next breath they complain about Australia's poor player development of kids, it is a stupidly polarising and pointless complaint.
Some would read it as a side swipe towards the coach, so not much has changed, it is the same old same old.
You can see why blokes don't want the job, it's a poison chalice.
