I reckon it’s about time the Socceroos ditched the “unlucky losers” tag and started repaying coach Ange Postecoglou for the faith he has shown in them. The team showed enough in the first half against Japan to suggest that they can be a force in the Asian Cup next year, but then did what they do just about every time they run out: faded out like an old candle. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of hearing about the Socceroos’ “honourable” losses against some of the best sides in the game at the World Cup. What I want to see are some quality wins against some of the best teams in Asia, not the promise lots-deliver little performances of recent months. The Asian Cup is the biggest tournament ever held in this country and it is imperative we put on a good show both on and off the field. If Australia ever wants to host a World Cup, it will need more than a puerile video presentation featuring surfing kangaroos and grinning Prime Ministers. It will need the football world to take us seriously as a playing nation. Seeing our superb venues packed with fans cheering on the Socceroos in January is an exciting prospect, but the team has to give them something to cheer about. I reckon their fans, and their coach, deserve it. What do YOU reckon?
