“Proud of the boys”.
“We knew they’d sit back and we didn’t want to play a game where we opened the field up too much because they’ve got some quality players,” the coach said.
“We’ll improve even more for the next game.
“Overall I thought that defensively we were good and I saw a good reaction tonight. That’s what I’ve been driving to the boys ever since I came into camp about the Aussie DNA and that is kick, fight, scratch and do whatever you can to win the game.
“However we win it, who cares, just win it.”
Graham Arnold, socceroos coach

This would be the Aussie men’s fifth straight World Cup.
