I was kinda expecting to see him, :( Playing so well with Villa, if he is faking it I will be mad.

In a few years Ange Postecoglou could be a wonderful coach for Socceroos, atm he is the best in the A-league so it would be for the league to take him out until the league gets filled with managers like him. He immigrated to Australia when he was 5 like a lot of the players on the squad (even more in 5 years) so he can understand what they're feeling and he has Aussie passion, which is necessary for a powerhouse. He can have us playing lovely football, not now, far from ready to go on the biggest stage in the world, and Osieck is perfect for uptil 2014, but I'd love to see Ange take a crack at the whip.
Thoughts? (Tobesh keep it un-biased :P )

I partially agree with you mate.
Holger is doing a great job with the boys at the moment and as you said should have the spot until the world cup (baring any complete capitulation), If he performs well and still wants the job after 2014 he should keep it.
Although Ange is (here's the Bias)very clever and a great club Manager (here's the non-Bias) it may not be as easy to replicate it with the national squad and he may not have the luxury of time on his side like he has had with the Roar squad.
His success has come from the consistent playing formula he has put in place and if it conflicts with the National curriculum it may not work in the short time managers are usually given to start showing results on the national stage. Not saying he couldn't but I'm saying it would be tougher. Nevertheless he should be in contention for the spot if Holger wants out and the Aussie fighting spirit will help his chances.

Beat Oman and we have essentially qualified for the next qualification stage.
Are you rivals with New Zealand?
Rivals need to be on the same wavelength at least. They have a long way to go before there our rivals :P
Serious though, we are rivals with New Zealand in everything.
O M A N Oh my gosh Baby, let me I did it again, so I'mma let the beat drop Oh my Baby, let me love you down There's so many ways to love you Baby, I can break you ...
...quite.
We were a little too one dimesional against thailand in my opinion, throwing in poor cross after poor cross, and we didnt even get into many good positions. (Tim and Kennedy do have capable feet) We also did not pressure Thailand that much, and we didnt have someone playing in between the hole between midfield and striker, that imo was the 2nd problem, which is kind of silly considering that is Timmy's natural position.
Overall a very Verbeek-esque game, predictable and alot of players out of position. Though McKay and Holman played well.

Our squad's ageing, hopefully we'll give rise to some new blood from our local league or elsewhere. I'd like to see that Langerak guy more often.
I'd like Kofi Danning to come through.
