Spain  0-10 down,

[tony_montana]

spain pfft old and slow

  my goodness that is a squad and that MIDFIELD 

I like our squad, some good young talent being given a chance, they'll do us proud and give the Asian Cup a shake next year.

[mightytiges]

I'm pleased we went with a younger squad. We're going to get flogged in each match anyway, so use this World Cup as a learning experience to understand (brutally) what level the younger blokes need to aim and build towards for 2018 and more realistically 2022.

I hope Jedinak is okay  .

[tigs2011]

Than Spain midfield is ridiculous. 

[Coach]

Change our name from Socceroos to A-League Gimpers.

Hope we go alright and have a crack. It's about all those blokes can do.

[Diocletian]

Whatever happened to that little muslamic spic kid with the ginger afro Mustafa Whatshisname?
