Postewoglu, awful attitude and an awful gruff demeanour and admits to no Plan B, stubborn pig! If I was a player wouldn't be able to respond to him either.

I already posted this thread at Nets.com.au

I wonder what Tommy Smyth with a Y would make of this on the Auld Onion Bag.

I bet Ange has tatts

CT - AFC (FIFA Asia) is weak just as FIBA Asia is so that is why it is being treated as a failure not qualifying automatically out of it.

Have to beat syria and likely Honduras to qualify.

Panama, USA or Honduras.

USA will finish 3rd.
It's Honduras or panama.

We should beat both Syria and the concacaf team.

Nz will have a very tough time qualifying.
Argentina, Chile or Peru.

Wildcats wouldve made the worldcup by now.

It's still better than spending money on sports only one country or a few Commonwealth nations compete in.

"We should beat both Syria and the concacaf team."

Apparently beating two weak teams is going to be a 'massive task' according to the OP.

We suck but not that much.

It is a massive over reaction because the general public don't realise how weak the teams we will face in the two playoffs are.

Wait and see the qualification process hasn't ended yet they are calling blood. Not too bright wanting your coach sacked right near the end of the process (the two ties are in October and November respectively).

In saying that he does have issues with being too abrasive so the media are retaliating back now by shtting on him but he wasn't too bright with his persona.

Our players suck as well so what more can a coach do?

Players need same or definitely more of the blame.

Speaking of players did anyone listen to Aaron Mooy (one of our only players in the EPL) speak after the match? WOW... LOL!

Must be hard for international coaches these days with players scattered all over the world playing different styles. Have no real idea of sport and intricacies, but having camps, friendlies every blue moon can't really help. Not sure where Ange is based but perhaps having position in Europe where can get players together more regularly. And is a type of sport where one mistake can cost everything and then after it all it comes down to a penalty shootout.
Lemanis would face these difficulties but I think with basketball the style can be developed real quick in a week camp, only problem I've seen just in my opinion is that we've gone the safe route with a few veteran selections. Had a surprising good campaign last time but I think needed to blood kids that are just there for the experience, don't need to be under ten's and everyone hit the court.
As for Ange's demeanour, that's his personality. You watch afl press conferences after games and there's generally the same reactions to dumb questions from journalists that normally have no idea or have been sharpening the axe against that coach in their columns, mainly there to get a rise out of the coach. That's why Popovich is always entertaining. And love Frank Martin from South Carolinas reaction when he got a great and we'll thought out question from a junior reporter, something that was unfaithful and knowledgeable.
So put yourself in his shoes, not the happiest guy at best of times but at least is honest, respect him for that.
