Only caught the first 20 then family stuff intervened. Japan are quality. Their press and technique are fantastic. I'm proud we're no slouches with our technique either. I think we've been more dangerous. I just wish Bennie had shot. Toure much more aggressive in his pressing which I love!
 
Got a quick glimpse of ht highlights and we look poised. Take them on!
 
Toure was having his shirt grabbed in the first half, no yellow cards for Japan for it
 
Not a backward step all tournament from these kids.

Watching this makes me dislike the whole 'Aussie DNA' bs even more! All the qualities of being 'Aussie' can still be there when you take it to the opposition and try to beat them with your quality...rather than punch up and try to overcome through sheer grit.

The future is bright.
 
Had another sneak while in class. Holy shit!

BTW evil google doesn't have this so a search showed our 2:1 loss to Japan recently.

I agree and I'd also like a combination of both. The DNA thing though was admittance of poor technical skill. I want high technical ability and also the concentration discipline and grit to win.
