Point out a BETTER aussie coach then Farina, and i'll join you in calling for that person to become our coach Paulie, but dont just call for a sacking without naming a replacement!! Thats not productive at all... Were all so dissapointed that we didnt get a medal but for fucks sake we made it to the quarter's - when was the last time we did that in olympic soccer???

Hey mang:


-- Failed to qualify for last world cup
-- failed to qualify for last confederations cup
-- failed to beat iraq at under 23 level.


Dude forget about finding a replacement, my grandma could of done better than farina. Look at that record. ALl his objectives as a coach he failed at. Dont come back with those mickey mouse friendly games.

Originally posted by bassaholix So well see how things go... like ive said before, if we don't import players from overseas, there is no point... Perfect example, asian countries, they used to be crap, look at Japan now... THey can whip Australia in no time.. why... imported players and a Brazillian coach... so there we go...

wtf?! i think it'd be pretty darn obvious if the japanese olympic national team had caucasians or latinos running around for them...and brazilian coach? what kind of brazilian has the name: Masakuni Yamamoto

japanese team list from their game vs paraguay

Farina is tactically inept. What a joke it was in Montievideo, what a joke now at the Olympics against Iraq. FFS!!!!

Who gives a s*** when this country hasn't embraced and embedded the football culture for more than a century. Quite clearly, Australia doesn't deserve success in football unless a majority of the population is truely passionate about it regardless of WC qualification or not

As for a manager, get someone who brings flair, someone who wants to dominate the match against South American opposition in their own backyard, instead of sitting back. Get a coach that teaches to pass and move, and control possession.

Im still waiting for someone to name a better replacement coach....


Perosnally, I think blaming it all on Farina's a bit harsh - he gets the player group maybe a week before each game, with some key players only arriving perhaps 2-3 days before the game and he's supposed to be able to form a team with that. I dont think any coach will get the team to have success until he's got a player group that regularly plays together that doesnt keep changing and which has the key players in for every game, so that the strategies dont need to change every single game.

Roy Evans (English) - Won league title with Liverpool as a player. When he retired the man became a part of the famous bootroom has his been taught by the legendary Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley, he'll introduce the passing game, in which the socceroos could just dictate opponents in their own backyard. Temporarily saved Liverpool from the work of Graeme Souness.

Guus Hiddink (Dutch) - A midfielder during his playing days, Hiddink took up coaching in 1982 with De Graafschap in the Netherlands.
Two years on he took the reins at PSV Eindhoven where, in a six-year spell, he led the side to four league titles and the 1988 European Cup. He became Dutch coach in 1995 and led the Netherlands to the World Cup semi-finals in 1998 where they lost to Brazil on penalties. Much more famously took South Korea to the World cup semi finals in 2002. Now manages PSV Eindhoven.

ummm dude i know your saying that cause Iraq is no state to compete with whats happening and all but can i just point out that the only time Australia has made the world cup was the same year as Iraq did as well .. back in 1974 i think.. and also the world ranking at the moment shows that Iraq is on 40th position while Australia is on 57th .. i know the points system look pretty stupid at times but hey ranking is ranking ..

Another thing that i'd like to put my opinion across is that the way australia play (under 23's anyway) is too text book and they should take more risks..
And i agree that Farina should be replaced; by whom: i dont know.

FARINA IS FUCKEN SHIT


[/end of story]

Id prefer locally someone like a E. Krencevic take over, maybe even a J. kosmina.


We need to look overseas to get coaches with enough tactical nouse to win the big crunch games.

So it doesnt matter who we replace farina wiht the point is he has to go.
