@joeylynchy No Bos, no party

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@scout_aussie Really rate Volpato but might also need to try someone else on set pieces.

@paddypower Algeria need to get their act to-Geneva

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@RoundBallAus Take one star off Circati and give each of Herrington and Italiano another star.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@joeylynchy Herrington has also been impressive - confident on the ball and good distribution.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@joeylynchy @ESPNAusNZ This is more like what we all wanted to see. Hope we get to see at least 60 minutes of this. Go ‘Roos!

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@paddypower This could be Tut much for Egypt.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@scout_aussie The second half demonstrated that having a strong offence is Australia’s best defence.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@nocontextfooty VAR check: excessive sportsmanship.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@paddypower Germany with the weiner.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@football360au Really impressed with Volpato’s contribution today. Popa, start him next game please!

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@ESPNAusNZ Australia set themselves up to try to maximise their chances against a tired US backline in the second half.

That doesn’t work though when the US backline isn’t tired because they haven’t been tested at all in the first half.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@VinceRugari First half was diabolical. Not too many positives to take from this other than Irankunda’s and Volpato’s performances when each of them eventually came on.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@joeylynchy I don’t rate our chances of scoring pre-Irankunda’s arrival on the pitch, but there’s always a chance. Best of luck to the boys.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@paddypower Maple syrup defence - Qatar keep getting stuck.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@DanielGarb Prefer to have Irankunda on the field from kickoff rather than having to throw him on when we are chasing the game. Needs time to work with / off Toure, which is likely to be more achievable in the first ‘60 rather than the back ‘30.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@Craig_Foster It hasn’t been pretty, but it has (so far) been effective.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@paddypower Making the USA look like ‘06 Barcelona.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@football360au Shades of the Lucas Neill talk on the eve of the ‘06 WC. Hopefully he doesn’t let the talk get to him and instead just focuses on locking in for the upcoming games.

[Brendan @brenosaur]

@sunairway I appreciate you.
